The Mathematical Data Science Centre Seminar Series presents An Entropic Frank-Wolfe Method with Dr James Nichols. (BDSI). The Frank-Wolfe algorithm is an optimisation method for finding the minimum or maximum of a differentiable function on a convex set.

RISER performs selective rejection of molecules during direct RNA sequencing by identifying RNA classes directly from nanopore signals with deep learning and communicating with the sequencing hardware in real time.

Evaluating crop varieties across diverse environments is crucial yet statistically challenging due to complex genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions, high-dimensional data structures, and frequently unbalanced trial designs.

Given a point cloud in Euclidean space and a fixed length scale, we can create simplicial complexes (called Rips complexes) to represent that point cloud using the pairwise distances between the points.

This talk will present ongoing efforts to enhance sperm analysis using artificial intelligence, focusing on improving precision and consistency in motility and morphological assessments—key metrics in reproductive health studies.

Originally from the wild jungles of Borneo, David somehow found his way to becoming a research scientist at the Irradiation Immunity Interaction (i-Cube) Laboratory at the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR).

Elle will unveil the secrets behind her work on the gill microbiome of Atlantic Salmon, exploring its variation, heritability, and the implications of distance measures in her research.

The scarcity of data and the challenge of analysing fine-grain details and weak signals are common issues across diverse fields, including agriculture and space exploration. This presentation will delve into advanced methodologies for addressing these challenges.

The study seeks to analyse the fiber content of plant samples using two different filter bags, which yield different results due to particle size differences. F57 filter bags, intended for larger particles, result in significant particle loss and produce less reliable Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) readings. F58 filter bags, designed for finer particles, provide more accurate and reliable ADF measures.
