Understanding Multi-Modal Data for Social and Human Behaviour

Tuesday 27th November 2018
Isaac Newton Institute

Real benefits to many areas of modern society arise if one can analyse, model and predict different aspects of social and human behaviours.  Techniques, such as those offered by RPT, increase the range of potential successes to include recognising human actions and understanding changing facial expressions.

This workshop aimed to increase awareness of what is possible, whether it be better mitigation of risks, management of outcomes, or supporting individuals in their daily lives, across the spectrum of social and human behaviour.

Uncertainty Quantification for Complex Systems – Development in Theory and Methodologies

Friday 15th June 2018
Isaac Newton Institute

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is a modern inter-disciplinary science that cuts across traditional research groups and combines statistics, numerical analysis and computational applied mathematics.
This workshop was part of the six month programme at the INI on  Uncertainty Quantification for Complex Systems: Theory and Methodologies and took place towards the end of the Programme,, it focused on disseminating the key outputs and highlighted some potential outcomes that could be taken forward.
