Presenting the Turing Fellow Research Projects

In partnership with The Alan Turing Institute, the University of Southampton invites you to watch Turing Fellows Tom Irvine and Marika Taylor present the research and findings of their Pilot Projects.
13:15-13:20 - Introduction by Peter Smith, Turing University Lead
13:20-13:50 - Presentation by Marika Taylor: Data science approaches to applied mathematical modelling.
In this talk Marika Taylor will describe new relationships between tessellations and codes used for quantum error correction, focussing on tessellations of negatively curved (hyperbolic) spaces. The motivations for constructing such codes will be explored - these range from fundamental physics to understanding the geometry underlying quantum machine learning.
13:50-14:20 - Presentation by Thomas Irvine: Jazz as Social Machine. Making jazz with machine learning agents turns out to be complicated. Using insights from Web Science, Science and Technology Studies and musicological jazz studies, I survey the techniques currently in use, and explore what it is about jazz's data that makes machine learning jazz more of a "social" problem than other challenges in the growing field of Music Information Retrieval.
14:20-14:30 Closing remarks by Peter Smith
