Ensuring safety in mission-critical AI systems
SAFETY-CRITICAL ML · PERCEPTION
What it takes to make machine learning dependable when failure is not an option — evaluation, uncertainty and engineering discipline around the model.
Why is it difficult to control and predict SARS-CoV-2 spread?
NETWORK SCIENCE · MODELLING
A network-science view of epidemic spread: why contact structure and feedback make transmission far harder to forecast than simple curves suggest.
What LiDAR sees, and what it can't: lessons from tracking people at scale
LIDAR PERCEPTION · TRACKING
Lessons from three years of tracking people with 3D LiDAR — identity in crowds, multi-sensor fusion and why time is the hardest dimension.
