AIML Research Seminar: Embracing Changes in Deep Learning: Continual Learning with Augmented and Modularised Memory (with Pre-trained Models)

Conventional DL approaches focus on the end results on fixed datasets/scenarios and fail to handle the dynamically raised novel requirements in the real world. Continual learning (CL) aims to train deep neural networks (DNNs) to efficiently accumulate knowledge on dynamically arriving data and task streams like humans. The main challenges include how to enable DNNs to learn on data and task streams with non-stationary distributions without catastrophic forgetting. To ensure DNNs effectively retain past knowledge while accommodating future tasks with a balance between stability and plasticity, we explore CL techniques from the viewpoint of augmenting and modularising the memorisation of DNNs. Given pre-trained models, do we need continual learning or how should we use continual learning? This talk delved into investigating how to continually perform adaptive learning with the pre-trained models and how to continually enhance pre-trained models.

AIML Special Presentation: Translating Running Gait Assessments to In-field Application Using Wearable Sensors

Dr Joel Fuller is a Sports Scientist and Physiotherapy researcher from Macquarie University. He has expertise in research areas related to biomechanics, wearable technology, performance enhancement and injury prevention. Joel presented findings from his most recent wearable technology research which used IMU systems to (1) identify fatigue onset in athletes during an intensive running training intervention and (2) identify and retrain runners at high risk of impact-related injuries. He described how his work is seeking to engage with machine learning and deep learning to enhance performance and injury prevention outcomes for athletes and explore potential avenues for research translation.

Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) Awards Finalists Visit AIML
