Where is the magic? What exactly is a neural network and how does it work?
The futuristic sounding ‘multi-layer perceptron’ is a term sometimes used for a neural network, or artificial neural network to be more precise. They are everywhere today, eager to tell you which turn to take at the next junction, keen to confirm your face is indeed your face when you log in to your bank account, and duty bound in suggesting […]

How did the data propagate? Automated Optical Path Monitoring
With the development of 5G, our world might seem more wireless than ever. However, lurking behind this and facilitating all high-speed data transfer are kilometres and kilometres of optical fibres. The backbone network for all communication, wireless or otherwise, is this sprawling network of fibres. For reliable communications and internet access, the world’s expanse of fibre optic cables must work […]

A needle in a haystack – the future of big data
Dr Yang Feng is Associate Professor of Statistics at Columbia University. His research aims to structure, into a useful form, the voluminous data available from many areas of science, humanity, industry and governments, like social networks, the study of the genome, understanding economics or finance and health sciences. Using network modelling, he has focused on novel ways of detecting “communities” more […]
