Keynote Speaker-1

Brain and Brain-Inspired Artificial Intelligence

Prof Frank Wang

Head of School of Computing, University of Kent

Canterbury, UK

Chair, IEEE Computer Society, UKRI Chapter

Email: frankwang@ieee.org

Abstract

Deep learning was inspired by the 1981 Nobel Prize work by David H. Hubel & Torsten Wiesel, who found a cascading model in the human brain. We are building a computer that works similarly to the human brain and could be useful for modern simulation and modelling. Most of previous efforts to build brain-like computers have failed because it took about the same silicon area to emulate a CMOS synapse as that needed to emulate a neuron. In theory, any realistic implementation of a synapse should ideally be at least four orders of magnitude smaller than that required to build a neuron. The invention of the memristor opens a new way to implement synapses. A memristor is a simple 2-terminal element, which means a vast number of memristors could be integrated together with other CMOS elements, in a brain-like machine.

Lessons Learnt in Delivering Complex, Science Based, Large-Scale Synthetic Environment Trials

Professor Jon Platts

Dean, Cardiff School of Technologies
Cardiff Metropolitan University
Cardiff

Email: jplatts@cardiffmet.ac.uk

Abstract

This talk will discuss personal recollections and lessons identified during an intensive period of research involving the use of Synthetic Environments to deliver actionable research output. The research took place between 2010 and 2013 whilst the author was leading the technical teams involved in autonomous systems research within QinetiQ. Four trials were executed at 6 monthly intervals.

The research work was focussed on how best to introduce automation and autonomy to formations of both manned and unmanned air systems to deliver significant additional capabilities. Studies indicated that cloud based concepts would provide benefits by maximising the availability of capability, reducing redundancy and permitting efficiencies in operation and deployment of effect. This work examined automation applied to the cloud and built on substantial work looking at command abstraction of users and consumers interacting with systems. The work retained the absolute authority of the human supervisor. Data was gathered through Synthetic Environment based trials which immersed serving military personnel, exercising both manned and unmanned systems, whilst divorcing the operators from platform ownership allowing them to concentrate instead on task ownership. Within the synthetic environment, baseline systems were compared with systems possessing higher degrees of automation and tool functionality. In a nutshell: candidate technologies were developed for real-time execution and analysis in a militarily realistic scenario with military operators.

The talk will explain the setup of the trial and describe the interplay and conflicting requirements running across parallel swim lanes as the teams involved (for example, military scenario planning, candidate technology development, synthetic environment development, hypothesis development and analysis), developed the trial to meet aggressive deadlines.

Feature Selection in Systems Modelling with Imprecise Data

Prof Qiang Shen

Director, Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science

Aberystwyth University, Wales, UK.

Email: qqs@aber.ac.uk

Abstract

Feature selection (FS) addresses the problem of selecting those system descriptors that are most predictive of a given outcome. Unlike other dimensionality reduction methods, with FS the original meaning of the features is preserved. This has found application in tasks that involve datasets containing very large numbers of features that might otherwise be impractical to model and process (e.g., large-scale image analysis, text processing and Web content classification), where feature semantics play an important role. This talk will focus on the development and application of approximate FS mechanisms based on rough and fuzzy-rough theories. Such techniques provide a means by which imprecisely described data can be effectively reduced without the need for user-supplied information. In particular, Fuzzy-Rough Feature Selection (FRFS) works with discrete and real-valued noisy data (or a mixture of both). As such, it is suitable for regression as well as for classification. The only additional information required is the fuzzy partition for each feature, which can be automatically derived from the data. FRFS has been shown to be a powerful technique for semantics-preserving data dimensionality reduction. In introducing the general background of FS, this talk will first cover the rough-set-based approach, before focusing on FRFS and its application to real-world problems. The talk will conclude with an outline of opportunities for further development.

Keynote Speaker-4

Cross Disciplinary Simulation Studies

Prof Kelvin Donne

University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Swansea Campus, Mount Pleasant

Swansea SA1 6ED

kelvin.donne@uwtsd.ac.uk

We discuss the results of Computer Simulation work undertaken across a diverse range of disciplines, from underpinning numerical analysis in the Boundary Element Method through to computational modelling in ballistics and Product Design.

Computational Modelling of projectile impact onto laminated glazing: we consider the impact of small fragments onto laminated glass windows, which could be either architectural or automotive. We review the physics involved, then discuss simulation studies of a number of situations, including:

- The initial impact event creating a localised chip: computational work using an explicit time-dependent finite element model will be presented.

- The subsequent chip to full crack-off: in the case of automotive glazing, this would mean replacing the whole windscreen rather than a localised repair.

- Thermo-structural analysis of windscreens in extreme environments.

The presentation will consider material models for brittle materials, strain-rate dependency and damage models commonly used in these type of analyses.

The simulation work is informed by experimental ballistic work and some high speed videos will be shown illustrating how these can help in the qualitative interpretation of the simulation work.

The presentation will also emphasise the issues concerned with short deadlines for simulation work sponsored by industry and how results need to be presented for non-technical audience.

Mitigation of the Singularity problem in the Time-Dependent Boundary Element Method: The Time dependent BEM is a relatively obscure technique for solving transient thermal diffusion problems. This presentation will describe recent results showing the power of this method in the context of light-tissue interaction, including benchmarking against analytical solutions. In particular, the well-known singularity problem with algorithms based around Green functions will be discussed along with mitigation strategies. A practical application of the TDBEM will be presented, illustrating the convergence challenge for medical device modelling [1, 2].

Usability Analysis for Product Design Evaluation: Early work in usability analysis for expert system evaluation in our research group has led to an opportunity to diffuse this method into the assessment of new product design and development, where quantitative methods have been relatively underexploited or indeed avoided compared to qualitative techniques. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the power of statistically rigorous usability analysis, where Thurstones method [3, 4] of pairwise comparisons is used in conjunction with a set of design factors to assess new product concepts.

- Design of action furniture: The case study will discuss the process of product deconstruction leading to design factors that serve as criteria to assess different design solutions for both manual and powered reclining furniture, by a UK based company seeking to achieve a competitive edge. The case study will show the conjunction of this Psychophysics approach along with more conventional fatigue analysis.

- Different forms of representing a new glass sculptural concept at an early stage of the product development cycle will be assessed, including sketching, Gouraud shading, photorealistic rendering , mono and stereo [5,6]. This second case study, Thurstones method of pair-wise comparisons,- originally proposed as a quantitative approach for aesthetic judgment, is applied to assess how different representational modes from paper sketching through to stereoscopic virtual images perform in conveying the design intent. This analysis will be applied to three different glass design concepts.
