We see in a mirror: from inverse problems to AI (In-person)

About this event

This event takes place on our Cambridge campus. You can also join us virtually.

In her Inaugural Professorial Lecture, Silvia Cirstea will present her research journey in computational modelling for human echolocation, machine audition and health data mining, through the lens of inverse problems, where AI plays a crucial role to identify patterns in complex noisy data. Similarly to how when looking in a mirror we try to infer the position of the objects whose reflections we see, in this approach, we start with an observed result (the reflection) and work backwards to determine what caused it, often using additional information from the physics of the problem. She will show how the combination of inverse problems and AI can provide valuable insights into complex interdisciplinary research questions, such as autonomous navigation using sound or the prediction and risk stratification of disease.

Join us for the talk from 6pm and a free drinks reception from 7pm.
