Eligibility: this project is only available to students on the online MSc Statistics and Data Science programme. If interested please contact Cangxiong Chen at Cangxiong.Chen@tcd.ie (personal webpage https://cangxiongchen.github.io/). Modern neural networks are usually overparameterised, i.e. they contain more parameters than necessary to fit the training data. The additional capacity from overparameterisation can improve optimisation and … Read more

Eligibility: This project is only available to students on the online MSc Statistics and Data Science programme. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Rishabh Vishwakarma at rishabh.vishwakarma@tcd.ie Biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) studies investigate how diversity, including the number of species and their relative proportions affect the outputs (functions) of an ecosystem. Commonly, BEF experiments establish communities with different species and varying sown proportions at a timepoint t … Read more
