Transformer-based Large Language Models demonstrate extraordinary capabilities and, thus, change the approach of the ML/NLP/NN communities when conducting research. Large chunks of research topics are neglected as Transformer-based LLMs seem to be the ultimate solution. However, it is already emerging that a large part of the capabilities of LLMs depends...

Please join us in Meston Lecture Theatre 6 (MT6) at 14:00. Our speaker will be a representative of the Hydrogen Capability Network from the Aerospace Technology Institute. The Hydrogen Capability Network aims to ensure that there is collaboration, coherence and efficiency for the aerospace sector to enable hydrogen...

Interdisciplinary Seminar by Dr Thomas Hiscock (University of Aberdeen). Topic: How does a finger get its knuckles? Reaction diffusion models in the tetrapod limb and beyond  

Developing autonomous agents to deal with real-world problems is challenging, especially when developers are not necessarily specialists in artificial intelligence. This poses two key challenges regarding the interface of the programming with the developer, and the efficiency of the resulting agents. In this talk, we cover a recent work to...

Interdisciplinary Seminar by Dr Scott Doyle (University of Aberdeen). Topic: Beyond Sparks: Plasma Science at Aberdeen

Interdisciplinary Seminar by Dr Victoria Volodina (University of Exeter): The importance of uncertainty quantification for model credibility

Interdisciplinary seminar by Dr Daniel Chaves (Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil). Topic to be confirmed.

Presentations by 3rd year undergraduate University of Aberdeen Physics and Mathematics students on their 3-month summer research projects carried out in the Department of Physics. These projects were supported by the Worthington Fund.  Anticipated schedule:  1305-1325: "Inference or Gene Regulatory Networks from RNA-seq data"; 1325-1345: "Dynamics of coupled logistic maps"; 1345-1405: "Androgen Receptor Signalling".

Hands are primary interacting tools that provide humans an ability to interact with their outer environments. Therefore, recognizing poses and actions (gestures) of hands from images and videos is essential to comprehensively understand the daily human intentions. Challenges occur when more than one hand appear in an image, due to...

Blockchain technology has emerged as a solution for providing transparency and trusted information in a decentralized and resilient manner. Particularly, there are significant potential benefits in integrating blockchain technology with the Internet of Things (IoT). However, adopting blockchain in hardware-constrained environments presents challenges. This integration introduces new issues, especially in...
