ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Perry Lam – Neural networks are known to be over-parametrised and sparse models have been shown to perform as well as dense models over a range of image and language processing tasks. However, while compact representations and model compression methods have been applied to speech tasks, sparsification techniques have rarely been used on text-to-speech (TTS) models. We seek to characterise the impact of selected sparse techniques on the performance and model complexity.

DH Asia Webinar Series: “Recreating Chinese Mythical Creatures in the Digital Age” by Dr. Kaby Wing-Sze Kung

In this presentation, I describe and explain why ethics has become even more salient as autonomous machines move out from factories and laboratories into the open, complex and unpredictable environment of cities.

Assistant Professor Ang Yee Sin has received the Young Scientist Award from the 2nd International Conference on Low-Energy Digital Devices and Computing (ICLED 2024) conference hosted in Singapore.

This is a great achievement and his personal milestone. Congratulations to Asst. Prof. Ang Yee Sin for his dedication and outstanding achievement!

DH Asia Webinar Series: “The Tale of Genji: Where Traditional Research Meets Digital Technology” by Ayano Takeuchi

ISTD COIL Seminar by Adriel Kuek – This talk will provide an insightful glimpse into the world of defence R&D, shedding light into an often secretive industry and hopefully inspire aspiring graduates to consider a career in the Defence Technology Community.

Synopsis

We study whether humans trust an Artificial Intelligence (AI) when they are given the opportunity to teach the AI how to reciprocate the trust of a human being. The AI initially has four strategies to reciprocate trust: minimum reciprocity, slight reward for trusting, fair sharing of benefits, and generosity. Subjects can teach or unteach these

ISTD PhD Oral Defense Seminar by Gong Jia – 3D digital human has been widely used in fields like virtual reality, fashion, and film/game production. Traditionally, creating and animating digital humans requires skilled engineers and expensive equipment, typically accessible only to large companies. Thus, developing deep learning tools to democratize the creation and animation of digital humans is urgently needed.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Mark Sin – Are you curious about how your school experiences can help shape your career? Join us for an insightful seminar by Mark Sin, an overseas Singaporean based in California, who is an accomplished engineering architect at Apple Inc. In this seminar, Mark will share how the completion of industry projects, internships and acquisition of essential soft skills during his school days could help to land him into an engineering role in one of the world’s leading tech companies.
