UoS Data Science Society

University of Sussex student society dedicated to creating Data Science opportunities and community

06/11/2023

Oluwaseyi Jesusanmi is a doctoral student on the Sussex Neuroscience program. He works in the interdisciplinary field of Computational Neuroethology where he applies computational approaches to learn how the brain enables a variety of complex behaviours in Animals. Oluwaseyi studied his undergraduate degree at the University of Dundee where he developed NORMAN; an artificial intelligence-based system that automated data collection and analysis for an important memory test in mice. This work was released as a freely available python package, and the work won him multiple awards including the Advanced accreditation top project award by the Royal Society of Biology. His current work at Sussex focuses on understanding ant navigation using a combination of embodied spiking neural network simulations, environment recreation in game engines, and behavioural analysis.

The talk will explore Oluwaseyi's work in Computational Neuroethology, including automating mice memory experiments and recent investigations in ant navigation.

📅 Tuesday 14th November 5-6pm
🗺️ Fulton Seminar Room 202

Dexter Shepherd is a doctoral student in bio-inspired Artificial Intelligence. His research is in insect-inspired AI and robotics to improve a robot's navigation and locomotion. Dexter has worked on robots for many years including across continents, such as his time spent in Canada learning about quadruped and SLAM navigation. Prior to his PhD he worked with robots that used whegs, a form of wheel-leg hybrid on a robot that evolved in simulation and used low-resolution real-world sensing to match simulation. This paper was published and presented at the UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Conference in Aberystwyth where it received the best paper award and was invited to be presented at Oxford.

This talk will be about skin-inspired tactile sensing for improving robotics: evaluating high resolution tactile sensors, and using AI models to interpret this information to make it useful for a physical agent.

Ahead of our talk in Week 3 (watch this space!), we're having a board games social with Sussex's Maths Society this Tuesday at 6pm at IDS Bar (see 2nd slide).

Come along for a chill chat (optionally about maths and/or data science) and of course boardgames!

The IDS Bar has some boardgames but feel free to bring your own if you like!

This Tuesday from 6pm in Fulton 104 we're running a screening of 'Coded Bias' with GRiCS and FemSoc

Synopsis:
When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, she embarks on a journey to push for the first-ever U.S. legislation against bias in algorithms that impact us all.
