Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming research in nearly every discipline and application area. Success with AI requires more than training an AI model, especially in AI-driven systems that make decisions and act on them. In this session, we explore how AI can be introduced in domain-specific subjects of Engineering and Science.
We will take a deep dive into key points related to deploying AI into a real-world medical imaging problem. This includes how to combine the impressive models behind the AI hype into larger scientific workflows that include collecting data, working with large datasets, transfer learning and explainable AI techniques.

Decentralised Finance (DeFi) is an emerging ecosystem powered by blockchain technology that aims to revolutionise traditional financial systems by providing more accessible, transparent, and inclusive financial services. DeFi platforms are built on blockchain networks, allowing for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. This enables users to have greater control over their financial assets, access a wider range of financial services, and benefit from lower fees. DeFi platforms offer a range of services, including lending and borrowing, trading, asset management, and insurance. The DeFi ecosystem is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to disrupt traditional finance and create a more equitable and decentralised financial system.
