Can You Tell a Mathematician from a Fish?
Prof Chris Budd OBE FIMA, University of Bath
Data based machine learning is one of the fastest growing areas of AI and is having a transformative effect on all industries. In this presentation we will look at some of the mathematics which underpins this capability, what strengths it possesses, and what its limitations are.
Deep Generative Models in Aircraft Aerodynamics
Xavier Bertrand FRAeS, Airbus
Deep learning has proven effective in capturing and modelling complex aerodynamic patterns. In this presentation, we will look at how advanced generative algorithms such as GANs, VAEs or Diffusion Models support the generation of accurate aerodynamic models early in the design process at Airbus.
The event will be held on Thursday 10 October 2024 at Aerospace Bristol, Hayes Way, Patchway, BS34 5BZ.
There are a limited number of tickets on sale until 25/09/24. Tickets cost £7 and must be purchased in advance from the Eventbrite page here:
