🌟 Join Us for Professor Hamed Haddadi's Imperial Inaugural Lecture! 🌟 Designing and building human-centred systems requires one to gather, and maintain, an awareness of the latest works across several disciplines. Hamed Haddadi is Professor of Human-Centred Systems at Imperial, where he has tried to learn from a broad set of stellar scientists and practitioners, and often (though not enough) from individual subjects (human beings, or animals). In his inaugural lecture Hamed will walk you through this journey and what he has learned as an individual, alongside the mistakes that he should have learnt from. He will take the opportunity to talk about his path from the council estate in Ladbroke Grove to Imperial's North Kensington campus a few blocks away. Importantly, these random hops and journey highlights the roles of several generous individuals along the way who guided and helped Hamed selflessly. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 8 January! Sign up using the link below 🔗 https://lnkd.in/enp7RHAP #computing #Stem

We're delighted to announce that two PhD students from the Department of Computing at Imperial have been awarded the Placement Award on the prestigious Enrichment Scheme of The Alan Turing Institute. The award is presented annually to students who demonstrate exceptional contributions to artificial intelligence research. Lisa Alazraki’s research focuses on natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, with a particular interest in improving the performance of large foundation models on tasks that involve complex reasoning, such as solving mathematical problems, answering knowledge-intensive questions, and navigating virtual environments. In addition, she is exploring how to make these models more robust when faced with input perturbations. Her PhD work seeks to push the boundaries of what large language models (LLMs) can achieve by tackling challenges related to their reasoning abilities and ensuring they can withstand variations in input without losing accuracy. These areas of research are crucial as LLMs are increasingly used in real-world applications where robustness and precision are key. Alberto Croquevielle’s research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and database systems, focusing on "learned indexes," which use machine learning techniques to optimize database queries. By developing these innovative data structures, Alberto aims to accelerate query performance beyond what traditional indexing methods can achieve. His work explores the potential algorithmic advantages of learned indexes, particularly in AI applications like retrieving word embeddings from LLMs. Alberto is also delving into generative AI, which involves creating models capable of generating new content such as text, images, or music. His research in this field has implications for areas ranging from biomedical imaging to data synthesis. Both recipients will receive funding to continue their research and join the Turing Institute network, a collaborative platform aimed at advancing AI research across the UK. Congratulations to Lisa and Alberto for this remarkable achievement! Lisa Alazraki Luis Alberto Croquevielle Rendic #computing #stem https://lnkd.in/ec2PB3BS
