This Seminar Series is co-ordinated by LINCS PhD student Tomás McInerney and Dr Meg Schwamb, Astrophysics Centre, QUB. The Seminars explore the implications of massive-scale data processing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for both the actual operation of algorithmically driven public decision-making in wider society, and within science and engineering. Seminars are held online on the second Wednesday of each month at 3pm.

Speakers

Emma McAllister, LINCS Doctoral Scholar, will discuss Learning Analytics: Data-driven decision making in education. Emma will give an overview of the current usage of Learning Analytics and her research into student and staff perceptions of Learning Analytics information

Michael Collins, LINCS Doctoral Scholar, will discuss his thesis, entitled The Vigilant Image: Documentary Technologies in an Age of Global (In) Security. He will examine the socio-political implications of ever-increasing surveillance programmes and the role of documentary technologies in this dynamic.
