We will present the latest research into and applications of distributed algorithms, hear keynotes from experts in the field and arrange a panel discussion of current partners who will share their thoughts on rising to current and future challenges. Technical topics of discussion will include: advanced numerical Bayesian algorithms (especially Sequential Monte Carlo samplers); Image Processing, Tracking, Data Fusion, State Estimation and Sensor Management (especially as they relate to Stone Soup); Gaussian Processes, Bayesian Optimisation, Neural Networks (e.g. for Reinforcement Learning).

Our aim is to inspire students and energise the community.

Our 2022 Showcase features:

  • Speakers from leaders in academia and industry
  • Student-led ‘just a minute’ talks
  • Poster session
