Next event
The next Research Software Developers Network (RSDN) meeting for 2025 will be held on Monday 16th June, hosted by the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) in the IEB Building of the Department of Engineering Science on the Parks Road.
As usual, after the talks, there will be a networking lunch for in-person participants. Please register via the link below so we have an idea of numbers.
Abstract:
The Visual Geometry Group (VGG) in the Department of Engineering Science has two goals:
- Pursue basic research and development in Computer Vision;
- Transfer and translate research to other disciplines and industry.
Since 2016, a team of Research Software Engineers (RSEs) and Research Ambassadors have pursued the second goal of enabling and facilitating the transfer and translation of research. The RSEs develop and maintain research software tools based on computer vision and artificial intelligence, while the RAs introduce these tools to their respective non-engineering research communities (e.g., Humanities, Anthropology, Biology).
In this RSDN talk, the RSEs and RAs from the VGG will showcase some of their research software tools that are being used worldwide and highlight research collaborations that span various academic disciplines like Humanities, Anthropology, Ecology, Medicine, Music, Journalism, Biology, etc. For example, the RSEs will demonstrate software tools that can use natural language to instantly search audiovisual archives. The Research Ambassadors will show how computer vision-based approaches are providing new insights into the literary works of Dante, and are helping ecologists study animal behavior and population
Time: 12:00 – 13:30, 16th June 2025 (Mon)
