ISTD PhD Oral Defense Seminar by Bhardwaj Rishabh – This thesis investigates critical non-idealities in AI systems, focusing on safety behaviour post-training and alignment.

Semantic segmentation is a fundamental and important task in computer vision, which aims to classify each pixel in an image. The rapid development of deep learning has significantly advanced semantic segmentation and improved the accuracy, promoting its application in fields with high accuracy requirements for pixel-level prediction, such as autonomous driving and medical diagnosis. Current works for semantic segmentation are typically based on a standard setup that all data is accessible beforehand and can be learned simultaneously. […]

Urbanization has given rise to increasingly complex systems that sustain and manage the lives of urban residents. As populations grow, the challenges of managing traffic, overcrowding, and environmental challenges escalate. These complexities place stress on urban ecosystems, demanding innovative solutions to ensure smooth and sustainable operations.

In order to promote healthy ageing, the World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) approach helps communities evaluate older adults’ intrinsic capacities and devise strategies to prevent or reverse declines.

Some behaviours and attributes of humans are visible to others over social networks, while other behaviours and attributes are not. Such a level of visibility of behaviour and attributes may alter the degree of social learning and social comparison and affect the level of health and well-being. In the seminar,

This presentation explores the journey of blockchain technology, from its inception as the backbone of Bitcoin to its transformation into a versatile tool revolutionizing industries worldwide. Beginning with Bitcoin’s role in introducing decentralized digital currency, the talk traces blockchain’s evolution and diversification into areas such as government, manufacturing, logistics, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), healthcare, and finance.
