This project focuses on the rich field of algorithmic fairness where the goal is to ensure that predictions are not biased against subgroups of the population whilst maximising predictive performance. One challenge is when we focus on multiple protected attributes.
Overview When people perform everyday actions, their eyes and attention don’t wander randomly; they shift in predictable ways depending on what the person is doing and where objects are in the environment. Understanding this link between actions, gaze, and 3D context is helpful for applications like VR/AR training, assistive systems, and human-robot collaboration. This project … Read more
**This project is for students in the Online Statistics & Data Science programme (M.Sc) only. No other student will be accepted for this project.** R Shiny apps are being used to enrich the teaching of statistics courses (Berkmann et al., 2025; Wang et al., 2021). These apps can provide students with an engaging and interactive experience. One popular app is Radiant … Read more
Currently, academics receive PDF copies of dissertations and assess these dissertations by reading them, grading various rubrics in evaluation forms, commenting on their views, and consulting with a 2nd examiner about an agreed mark. This project will investigate the development of a system that analyses submitted PDF copies with the help of Artificial Intelligence eg. … Read more
Kubernetes provides an orchestration and runtime system for micro-services based on containers. The implementation of this virtualised infrastructure is based largely on communication using TCP and HTTP. In contrast, current web browsers and web servers are using QUIC, HTTP/3 and WebTransport to communicate as well. This project will investigate the use of QUIC, HTTP3 and … Read more
Launched in June 2025, the Knowledge Graph of Irish History (kg.virtualtreasury.ie) uses W3C based knowledge graph technologies to represent places and selected Irish people across history and links them to historical records contained in the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (virtualtreasury.ie). In the next phase the knowledge graph is being expanded to other entities (such … Read more
This project aims at using sports analytics models to optimise decision-making in Fantasy Football. By integrating data from multiple sources, including player performance metrics, historical game data, and injury reports, etc., and using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms you will predict player success and recommend optimal lineups.
A sparse matrix is a two-dimensional array where most of the elements are zero. If a very large sparse matrix is stored in normal array format, a huge amount of memory will be needed to store values that are almost all zero. Instead, large sparse matrices are normally stored in a compacted form, where only … Read more
