Enabling Semiconductor Quantum Computing by Neural Operators, Transformers, and Meta-Learning
Machine Learning
Deep learning has achieved many breakthroughs across science and engineering disciplines, ranging from autonomous driving to protein structure prediction. The impact it has on quantum technologies is no exception.
From Melodies to Machine Learning: Detecting Musical Plagiarism
Alumna
Can artificial intelligence help us identify cases where one song copies another? Asli Saner, a former student under the supervision of Professor Min Chen at the Oxford e-Research Centre, set out to answer that question — combining her knowledge and love of music with the power of machine learning and data visualisation.
How important are wind farms in achieving net zero?
Expert comment
Professor Christopher Vogel sets the record straight on the science and economics of wind turbines, and why these must be a key component of the UK’s net zero energy strategy.
Automated system to evaluate energy demand response programmes
Energy Systems
DPhil student Katya Soegiharto has developed a new automated framework to help energy planners evaluate demand response programmes. The framework makes better use of existing research to develop flexible and low-cost demand-side solutions, particularly in countries that have limited resources for analysing and designing these programmes.
