Interest groups
Machine learning for radio frequency applications
How do we generate robust, real-time machine learning algorithms with integrated hardware and software for radio frequency applications?
Data science for engineering structural integrity
How can data science be used to improve the assessment of structural integrity across engineering sectors?
AI in resource- and data-constrained environments
How can we build effective predictive models on hardware platforms that have limited computational resources and/or when the model training data are by definition always limited in amount?
Machine learning and dynamical systems
How do we analyse dynamical systems on the basis of observed data, rather than attempt to study them analytically?
