Dr. Mike Pound - Associate Professor, Faculty of Science

Dr Firat Batmaz - University Teacher and AI in Education (AIED) Group Lead

Talks:

Dr Mike Pound - "Repurposing AI in Science":

The current hype around “AI” is difficult to ignore. It’s certainly the case that deep learning has produced some transformative results, but there has also been a fixation on standard problems such as human face recognition, chat bots and generating AI images.

The assumption has been that the technologies developed here will simply trickle down and help science to, but it isn’t always obvious how. In this talk Mike will cover some of the key concepts in modern AI, and how we can repurpose them into useful tools for science.

Mike will talk about how they’re using deep learning and generative AI approaches for optical correction in microscope images, potentially unlocking new approaches to harmless imaging through skin.
