Samath Aravinda & Imran Nordin (Zuellig Pharma Holdings) – Bridging the Gap: Navigating the Transition from Design School to UX Design in the Real World
In this talk, we will delve into my personal journey as a UX designer, highlighting the essential design processes that drive successful projects. We will discuss the myriad opportunities available in the field, from emerging technologies to innovative methodologies, and how these can shape your career trajectory. To enrich our discussion, I am excited to introduce my colleague, a seasoned UX researcher, who will present for 15-20 minutes on the UX research process. He will cover key methodologies, tools, and techniques used to gather user insights that inform design decisions. […]


Anirudh Shrinivason (Cohere) – LLMs for Out-of-Domain Use Cases
This talk will “delve” into Cohere’s strategies for harnessing the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) within the enterprise domain. By exploring fine-tuning techniques and the integration of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), we aim to showcase how these methods can be tailored to solve complex, industry-specific challenges. […]

ISTD PhD Oral Defense Seminar by Teo Tzu Hsuan Christopher – Fair Generative Modelling
Generative modelling (GM) has advanced significantly in recent years, especially in computer vision, where it is used for various purposes, from supplementing limited sample datasets to creating art. As GMs become more integrated into our daily activities, discussions about their efficacy are becoming more prevalent. This is largely due to the potential biases they may contain, which could then influence downstream tasks and proliferate biases in society. In this dissertation, we make important contributions in improving fairness in generative models by identifying and addressing constraints which may limit their broader adoption. […]
