*This project is for a MSc in Statistics and Sustainability student. “Reproducibility, closely related to replicability and repeatability, is a major principle underpinning the scientific method. For the findings of a study to be reproducible means that results obtained by an experiment or an observational study or in a statistical analysis of a data set … Read more
Music is central in our society. However, the neural mechanisms leading to the enjoyment of music remain unclear. This project is part of a bigger investigation with multimodal data. One dimension of that data involves eye and pupil dynamics, which are known to reflect neural activity relevant to sound perception. Here, you will analyse eye/pupil … Read more
I am happy to supervise a project in all the areas of computer networking that I am interested in — wireless networking, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and in their application to a wide range of real world settings (healthcare, IoT, structural health monitoring). I am particularly interested in exploring some aspects of quantum computing; for … Read more
The performance of artificial intelligence based learning models is often initially assessed using well established benchmark datasets. However, satisfactory performance on these datasets does not guarantee similar performance in real-world settings where the data may be significantly more imbalanced. For example, in a medical dataset a positive diagnosis may be a relatively rare event and … Read more
Please use this form to arrange a time to meet me to discuss project supervision: https://forms.gle/G82EJhXymGU3Wbf58 I have the below projects available, all related to Natural Language Processing: Data Collection for Analysis of Language in Video; Video Sentiment Analysis; Automatic Video Transcription; Automatic Identification of bias in Video Language; Automatic Prediction of Video Content Quality; … Read more
Are the connections between the Star Wars characters more than meets the eye? In this project, data on interactions between Star Wars characters (from an episode of the students choosing) are studied through the lens of latent space models. This model can construct a latent social space that reveals the underlying structure of this iconic … Read more
In the last decade, Airbnb has become a mainstay for tourists worldwide. In this project, we will use data from insideairbnb.com to obtain a better geographic understanding of Dublin. Which parts are expensive or reasonable to rent? Where do tourists like to stay, and in what type of accommodation? We will study these issues using … Read more
Forecasting conflict on a fine-grained grid level has real-life policy implications that can empirically inform meaningful healthcare and peace-preservation decisions. In many settings, interpretable models have the appeal that policymakers know how to draw conclusions from the model and do not have to base their decisions on black-box models. On the other hand, machine learning … Read more
Speech production is a fundamental aspect of human communication, yet its underlying neural intricacies remain largely unexplored. This project aims to investigate how concepts are translated into spoken language by probing the neural mechanisms governing speech production. In this project, you will analyse brain data from electrophysiology to describe various facets of speech production. Through … Read more
Restoring speech communication in individuals that can’t speak or have difficulty speaking (e.g., individuals with ALS) is an important challenge that could benefit many. While many solutions have been proposed that have various limitations, recent progress in machine learning methods (e.g., transformers) open new opportunities. This project aims to decode the intended speech of individuals … Read more
