Studying weak-to-strong-generalisation using influence functions

A crucial reason that it is possible to train ML systems to outperform human experts in narrow domains such as protein folding or chess, is because for these well-defined problems, it is easy to produce a reliable reward signal. However, current techniques for aligning frontier models with human goals, such as human feedback, are only […]

Computational methods for analyzing cell shape heterogeneity with application to Atomic Force Microscopy.

Cells cultured on planar surfaces adopt a variety of morphological shapes. Despite their seeming randomness, such morphology is determined by a biophysical process that represents the sum of multiple cellular processes. Cell morphology is dynamic, and cells change their shape with time and across different time scales, e.g. with local modification of the environment, or […]

Supervised and Semi-supervised approaches to sample growing and online prediction of customer intent

The company collects survey data from websites which is combined with behavioural data from survey respondents. This combined data set is information rich but can be too sparse for modelling purposes in a straight forward supervised learning context. As such, on-going research concerns optimizing the process by which non-survey related behavioural data can be leveraged […]

Predicting Material Properties from Electronic Band Structures: Integrating Machine Learning with Computational Modeling Techniques

The project involves the development of a machine learning model which can predict targeted properties of materials from their band structure. Computational modeling methods, such as ab initio (quantum chemistry) calculations, Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics, enable us to calculate properties of materials from their crystalline structure. The band structure is a representation of […]
