Topic: Advances in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and Applications in Computer Vision
Delivered by: Dr Simeng Qiu (Swansea University) & Prof Xianghua Xie (Swansea University) & Prof Didier Georges (GIPSA-Lab, Grenoble INP/UGA)
Description: Artificial Intelligence has become ubiquitous in our lives, with applications across domains such as computer vision, computer graphics, robotics, image understanding, medicine, natural hazards, and self-driving cars. In this short tutorial, you will gain fundamental understanding of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring their real-world applications and emerging trends. Basically, we will focus on how these technologies enable machines to interpret, process, and analyze visual data in real time. The relationship between Data science and Machine Learning, and how computer vision is driving the next generation of sensing technologies. Real-world use cases such as biological imaging, camera tracking, natural hazards, and video understanding will illustrate practical applications. In the end, we will discuss challenges related to data quality, bias, and integrity, and understand best practices in deploying ethical and robust computer vision solutions. We will also look at how AI can now be used to model complex dynamic phenomena distributed in time and space, and integrate sensor data with recent physics-informed machine learning methods to create digital twins capable of prediction or decision support.
// Legal framework, data security and new technologies
Delivered by: Sara Correia (Swansea university) & Emilie Terrier (CRJ, UGA)
Sara Correia is a Senior Lecturer in Cyber Threats at Swansea University 's School of Law. She has expertise in the use of administrative data for research and specialises in responses to cybercrime and online harms.
Emilie Terrier is Associate Professor in Grenoble-Alps University, expert in public data regulations, copyright and new technologies.
