From prevention to treatment: Designing personalised healthcare operations through analytics
ESD Research Seminar by Wang Xiaodong (Frank) – Healthcare extends beyond the clinical setting; it is a complex system where patients navigate interconnected stages of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. In this talk, Frank provides an overview of his research, which examines healthcare systems through the lens of the patient journey.
Adaptive and robust optimisation algorithms for large scale machine learning
ESD Research Seminar by Ali Kavis – This seminar will investigate the shortcomings of classical approaches and explore how data-driven, adaptive mechanisms could help in theory and application.
Self-creating random walks for decentralised聽learning under Pac-Man attacks
ESD Research Seminar by Xingran Chen – In this seminar, we investigate an adversarial threat termed the 鈥淧ac-Man鈥 attack, in which a malicious node probabilistically terminates any random walk (RW) that visits it.
