Ensuring responsible generation is critical for real-world deployment. In this talk\, I will present five key and practical considerations for responsible GenAI: generating truthful content\, avoiding toxicity\, refusing harmful instructions\, preventing training data leakage\, and ensuring content identifiability. By providing a unified perspective on textual and visual generative models\, this talk offers insights into best practices\, emerging research directions\, and challenges in building safe and ethical GenAI systems. \nThis talk is based on the following preprint authored by the speaker: \nJindong Gu (2024) A Survey on Responsible Generative AI: What to Generate and What Not. arXiv:2404.05783v2 [cs.CY]\, 77 pages. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2404.05783 \nBio\nDr Jindong Gu is a Senior Research Scientist at Google\, specialising in advancing the reliability and safety of AI technologies. He is also affiliated with the University of Oxford as a Senior Research Fellow in Torr Vision Group. Prior to that\, He received his PhD degree from University of Munich in Tresp Lab. His research goal is to build responsible AI. Specifically\, he is interested in the interpretability\, robustness\, privacy\, and safety of AI models. In this area\, He has regularly published papers\, served as Reviewer and Area Chair\, and organised workshops at leading conferences\, including NeurIPS\, ICLR\, and CVPR.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Health Data Management
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nBased on the discussion at the last ABCP “每月一谈” (“Monthly Topical Discussion”) on 31st May\, ABCP’s Specialty Committees on Life Science and Health\, AI and Cyber Security and EDI Working Group are planning to organise a joint workshop on Health Data Management to allow ABCP members and non-members to discuss potential R&I collaboration on this topic. \nThe theme of the workshop will be around how health-related data can be collected\, accessed\, used and shared for different real-world applications and R&I activities\, covering AI as a key enabling technology and data security and privacy as a key requirement and research topic. \nThe event will be held as an in-person event to allow more effective exchanges and discussions between participants\, in the form of roundtable discussions towards future R&I collaboration and joint grant applications. Remote participation will be allowed for some sessions. \nAt the event\, we will discuss relevant funding calls and participants’ potential responses to such calls. One such call is the EPSRC-NIHR NetworkPlus call on “Technologies to enable independence for people living with dementia” (webinar 5 July and deadline 10 September). Another call is the EPSRC call on “Health Technologies Connectivity Awards” (deadline 3 September). A third one is the EPSRC pre-announcement on “Engineering Healthier Environments – Micro Network and Micro Network Plus”. \nTo simplify the organisation of the event\, we will order a sandwich-style lunch for all participants\, which will be delivered to the meeting room. After the event\, we recommend participants to split into smaller groups to have lunch/dinner separately (costs covered by themselves)\, which can help facilitate more follow-up discussions. \nThe event is mainly for ABCP Members\, but we also welcome non-members to attend if they are interested in developing and/or supporting R&I activities related to health data management. \nTentative Agenda (* = remote participation allowed)\n\n11-11:10 (*): Welcome and introduction\n11:10-11:30 (*): A short talk and discussion on NHS England SNSDEs (a London SNSDE speaker or Shujun Li)\n11:30-12:30 (*): Brief introduction of each other’s work (1)\n12:30-1:30: Lunch and networking\n1:30-2:30 (*): Brief introduction of each other’s work (2)\n2:30-4:00 (*): All-together and break-out discussions on potential responses to the EPSRC-NIHR NetworkPlus call on Technologies to enable independence for people living with dementia\n4:00-5:00: Small group discussions on potential collaborations and other funding opportunities\nAfter 5:00: Networking and self-organised dinners of separate sub-groups\n\nRemote Participation Information\nJoin the Zoom meeting using the following link or the meeting ID and passcode: \nhttps://ucl.zoom.us/j/98716547086?pwd=OymJVzb9uQCN1faWSsfUqdIimkRjbM.1 \nMeeting ID: 987 1654 7086\nPasscode: 576260

SUMMARY:Smart Retail Service Design for Healthy Ageing
DESCRIPTION:Title\nSmart Retail Service Design for Healthy Ageing \nSpecial Note\nThis is the third of a new series of professorial inaugural talks series of the ABCP\, for celebrating promotions of its Associate Members to a professorial post and ABCP Full Membership and sharing experience with non-professorial academics on how to get promoted towards a professorial post. \nSpeaker\nProfessor Yuanyuan Yin (殷媛媛教授)\, Professor of Design\, Winchester School of Art\, University of Southampton\, UK \nChair\nDr Wen Wang (汪文博士)\, Co-Chair of Youth Committee\, ABCP & Associate Professor in HRM Data Analytics and Interpretation\, University of Leicester \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nAbstract\nGrocery shopping plays a vital role in the health and social well-being of older individuals. Statistics show that approximately 19% of people aged 80-84 and a staggering 60% of those over 90 face difficulties when it comes to purchasing groceries (Age UK\, 2021). These challenges range from accessibility issues within stores to making healthy food choices\, reflecting a broader issue of catering to the needs of aging consumers in the retail sector. \nDespite the growing trend of omnichannel retailing\, which aims to provide a seamless shopping experience across various platforms including in-store and online\, there remains a significant gap in catering to the needs of older adults. This gap is evident in the relatively low adoption rates of online grocery shopping among individuals aged 65 and above\, comprising only 5% of the overall online customer base. Furthermore\, a substantial portion of older adults in the UK\, approximately 4.2 million\, have never utilized the internet\, highlighting the digital divide that exists within this demographic. \nTo address these challenges and improve the grocery shopping experience for older consumers\, this project aimed to explore and develop an ageing-friendly smart grocery retail service to improve ageing customers’ grocery shopping experience and encourage healthy shopping and eating behaviour. This prototype features a smart trolley equipped with a built-in system designed to assist older customers during their in-store shopping experience. Key functionalities of the smart trolley include the automatic creation of shopping lists based on the customer’s historical transaction data\, in-store navigation assistance\, self-checkout capabilities\, and personalized shopping suggestions tailored to the customer’s preferences\, budget\, allergies\, and nutritional needs. This future research will focus on a virtual reality based smart shopping service design for older customers. \nThe speaker will also share her career and research development stories. \nBio of Speaker\nYuanyuan Yin is a Professor of Design\, Head of Research at the Design Department\, and Director of the Global Smart Lab at the Winchester School of Art\, University of Southampton. Yuanyuan completed her PhD in Design Research and MA in Design Strategy & Innovation from Brunel University\, UK. She earlier obtained her B. Eng. degree in Industrial Design in China. She joined the University of Southampton in 2009. Her research has concentrated on inclusive design for older people through ethnographic user studies\, co-design collaborations\, and improving innovation in product and service design.

SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: Constant juggling? An interactive and research-informed webinar on managing work-life boundaries for academics
DESCRIPTION:Title\nConstant juggling? An interactive and research-informed webinar on managing work-life boundaries for academics \nSpeaker\nDr Mengyi Xu (徐梦艺博士)\, Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management\, University of Birmingham\, UK \nChair\nProfessor Lynda Jiwen Song (宋继文教授)\, Professor in Management\, Leeds University\, UK \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nAbstract\nThis webinar aims to share academics’ experiences of managing their work-life boundaries from recent research and lived experience\, and collectively explore individual strategies and tactics for work-life boundary management and managerial implications of hybrid working in the Higher Education (HE) sector. COVID-19 has accelerated existing trends towards the greater digitalisation and virtualisation of how the HE institutions are operated\, and the knowledge work is done. Hybrid working\, comprising a mixture of office-based and remote working\, is now a firmly established option for many employers. While it is understood that the resulting blurring of work and home domains poses threats to staff wellbeing\, health and longer-term productivity\, the problem has consistently been framed as individual responsibility with the result that less attention has been paid to what employers can and should also do to support staff. \nWe will start by sharing some recent research and lived experiences on the work-life boundary experiences of academics during and after the pandemic. Then participants will be instructed to take an assessment designed to identify their boundary style and its pros and cons. Participants will then be allocated to a breakout room to share and use the results of this assessment to develop strategies and tactics for effective work-life boundary management. The webinar will end with a debrief from the discussions where participants will share the good practices and techniques of effective work-life boundary management\, and critically reflect upon the importance of work-life boundary control for improving productivity and well-being. \nIntended participants and admission criteria for the participants\nAll ABCP members and friends. \nIf you are interested in understanding work-life boundaries ahead of the webinar\, you can read through the following article and do the work-life boundary style assessment and have their results handy. \nKossek\, E.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) learns to see and perceive the world around us (aka computer vision)\, understanding how humans sketch plays an important and fundamental role in casting insights into the human visual system\, and in turn informing AI model designs. This talk is all about sketches\, summarising over a decade of research from the SketchX Research Lab at the University of Surrey. By the end\, it hopes to convey how sketch research can inform the future of AI\, both in terms of fundamental theory and applications that could revolutionise the status quo. \nThis talk will last for around 1 hour\, followed by a 2-hour discussion and networking session for participants to know each other and discuss potential collaboration. After that\, participants will move to a nearly Chinese restaurant for a social networking dinner. \nBio of Speaker\nYi-Zhe Song a Professor of Computer Vision and Machine Learning at the University of Surrey\, where he leads the SketchX Lab. SketchX Lab has been honoured with a Best Paper Award Candidate at CVPR’23 and a Best Paper Award at BMVC’15. The lab’s vision is to understand how seeing can be explained by drawing\, that is\, how a better understanding of human sketch data can lead to insights about how human visual systems operate. He is an Associate Editor for two of the most significant journals in computer vision and machine learning – IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI) and International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV). He is the forthcoming Director of the UKRI CDT on Digital Media Inclusion\, and serves as a Co-Director of Surrey’s People-Centred AI Institute (PAI)\, UK’s leading AI research centre with 50+ core academics and 130+ AI Fellows.

Such talks are also designed to help inspire Associate Members of ABCP and academics with a similar status to progress further towards being full professors. \nSpeaker\nProfessor Zhugen Yang (杨竹根教授)\, Professor of Biosensing and Environmental Health\, Cranfield University; Leverhulme Research Leader; NERC Fellow \nChair\nProfessor Huiyu Zhou (周挥宇教授)\, Professor of Machine Learning\, University of Leicester \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nAbstract\nPathogen detection is significant for both biomedical diagnostics (e.g.\, infectious disease) and environmental analysis\, e.g.\, pathogen contamination in drinking water\, SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater for early warning of pandemic). This talk will present a low-cost\, deployable paper-based biosensor device for rapid analysis of pathogens for a wide range of application including biomedical diagnosis and wastewater surveillance. It will show the capability of paper-origami device for field-testing in the UK\, India and Africa. This device is currently developing to trace the source of pathogens (e.g.\, SARS-CoV-2) in wastewater for early warning of disease outbreak\, supported by UK national wastewater epidemiology surveillance program (N-WESP). \nThe speaker will also share his personal experience on how he successfully applied for different UK fellowships and how they helped him reach his professorial promotion. \nBio of Speaker\nZhugen Yang is a Professor of Biosensing and Environmental Health at Cranfield University in the UK\, leading a UKCRIC-funded Advanced Sensors Laboratory for water-environment-health-nexus. He joined Cranfield University as a Lecturer in 2019 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2022 and Professor in 2023. He has received three prestigious Fellowships for different career stages\, including Leverhulme Research Leadership Awards (2023-2028)\, UKRI NERC Fellowship (2018-2021)\, and EU Marie Curie Fellow (2013-15). His independent academic career starts as a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow in 2018 after awarded a prestigious UKRI NERC Independent Fellowship. He completed postdocs at the University of Cambridge\, and subsequently at the University of Bath as EU Marie Curie Fellow. He received his PhD from the University of Lyon in France\, BEng from Harbin Institute of Technology and MSc from Sun Yat-sen University in China. \nHis group is developing rapid and low-cost sensors (e.g.\, paper-origami device) for biomedical diagnostics (e.g.\, infectious diseases and cancers)\, public health (e.g.\, wastewater-based epidemiology)\, and environmental science (e.g.\, microbial source tracking\, antimicrobial resistance). His research has been sponsored by a variety of sources (>£5.5m\, PI on £4m) including UKRI (EPSRC\, NERC\, BBSRC\, MRC)\, Leverhulme Trust\, Royal Society\, Royal Academy of Engineering\, industrial and governmental sectors (e.g.\, UKHSA\, Home Office\, Defra\, EA)\, leading to over 80 referred articles (including Nature Water\, PNAS\, Nature Communications\, h-index = 34 as of September 2023)\, several UK/PCT patents and a number of invited/keynote talks at international conferences. The key sensor technology has led to a spin-out company at Cranfield. His research has received many national and international awards including a recent Honorable Mention for the James J. Morgan ACS ES&T Early Career Award\, featuring in Science and numerous media coverages (e.g.\, BBC News\, Washington Post\, etc.). The origami-paper device is currently featured at London Science Museum.

SUMMARY:Impact Case Webinar: Experience gained and lessons learnt from a 10-year research journey on digital inclusivity
DESCRIPTION:Title\nBuilding a REF Impact Case Study: Experience gained and lessons learnt from a 10-year research journey on digital inclusivity \nSpeaker\nDr Yan Wu (吴燕博士)\, Associate Professor in Media and Communications Studies\, College of Arts and Humanities\, Swansea University \nChair\nProfessor Lynda Jiwen Song (宋继文教授)\, Leeds University Business School\, University of Leeds; Co-Chair\, ABCP AIG (Academic Interest Group) on Social Science and Humanities \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nAbstract\nThe speaker will provide a first-person account of her research journey to study digital inclusivity in Wales. Wu et al’s REF2021 impact case study research focuses on the challenges posed for sensory impaired users in Wales by first\, the digital switchover of television; and secondly\, the broader digitalization of services and information. They have both brought risks of exclusion\, ‘digital gaps’ and the erosion of communicative rights. The research has had an effect on the awareness and understanding of these challenges in Wales by elected representatives\, broadcasters\, Action on Hearing Loss and the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). In this talk\, Dr Wu will share experience gained and lessons learnt from her 10-year research journey – how she started this portfolio of research projects; how she built a cross-disciplinary team; how she collaborated with external partners; what are the opportunities and challenges associated with doing an impact case study and her current and future portfolio of research projects. \nBio of Speaker\nDr Yan Wu works as an Associate Professor in Media and Communication Studies\, Swansea University. Her research interests focus on the social impacts of digital media and communication in China and digital inclusivity in Wales. Her publications appear in journals such as New Media and Society; Global Media and China; International Journal of Digital Television\, Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art; British Journal of Chinese Studies; etc. and as book chapters in Media and Public Sphere (Palgrave Macmillan 2007)\, Climate Change and Mass Media (Peter Lang 2008)\, Migration and the Media (Peter Lang 2012)\, Public Diplomacy and the Politics of Uncertainty (Palgrave Macmillan 2021)\, The Cultural Politics of Femvertising (Palgrave Macmillan 2022). \nHow to Participate\nJoin Zoom Meeting using the following information: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89646206839?pwd=ZmNSb05uOVIwMU5EOTBrRFlEcWVWZz09 \nMeeting ID: 896 4620 6839\nPasscode: 490277 \nOne tap mobile\n+441314601196\,\,89646206839#\,\,\,\,*490277# United Kingdom\n+442034815237\,\,89646206839#\,\,\,\,*490277# United Kingdom \nDial by your location\n+44 131 460 1196 United Kingdom\n+44 203 481 5237 United Kingdom\n+44 203 481 5240 United Kingdom\n+44 203 901 7895 United Kingdom\n+44 208 080 6591 United Kingdom\n+44 208 080 6592 United Kingdom\n+44 330 088 5830 United Kingdom \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kdB0gQ6fNN \n

SUMMARY:Impact Case Webinar: Improved health research and practice through advancing statistical methods and applications
DESCRIPTION:Title\nImproved health research and practice through advancing statistical methods and applications: Sharing experience from constructing a REF2021 impact case study \nSpeaker\nDr Yinghui Wei (韦颖慧博士)\, Associate Professor of Statistics\, Centre for Mathematical Sciences\, School of Engineering\, Computing and Mathematics\, University of Plymouth \nChair\nDr Chen Qin (秦宸博士)\, Lecturer in Computer Vision and Machine Learning\, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Imperial-X\, Imperial College London; Co-Chair of ABCP AIG (Academic Interest Group) on Medicine and Health \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nAbstract\nImpact case studies are a critical part of the UK national research excellence framework. Case studies attempt to give an overview of the impact of academic research\, by showing in a 5-page narrative\, to triangulate the link between research outputs\, activities\, and their positive impacts beyond academia. The time between research being conducted and impact being created can vary by discipline and project. In the case when pathways from research to impact is not linear\, a typical issue in fundamental disciplines\, triangulating the relationship between the underpinning research and impact claimed is challenging. This requires careful planning and clear articulation\, to illustrate the research and significance of the impact with relevant supporting evidence. In this talk\, I will share my experience in constructing an impact case study for UoA10 Mathematical Sciences. I will describe our novel research in medical statistics and their impact with national and international reach in health and care. The impact case study was drawn upon the following examples: a meta-analysis within the Cochrane review on the effect of cutting portion size on consumption of food; a Stata command to regenerate individual level time-to-event data from published survival curves; and the use of the difference in restricted mean survival time as an alternative to hazard ratios when analysing time-to-event outcomes. \nBio of Speaker\nDr Yinghui Wei is Associate Professor of Statistics at the University of Plymouth. Her research interests centre on the development of statistical methodology and the applications to medicine\, clinical trials\, epidemiological studies and evidence synthesis in health. She led an impact case study “Improved health research and practice through advancing statistical methods and applications” for REF2021 UoA10 Mathematical Sciences at University of Plymouth. She recently held an MRC fellowship grant “Using data to improve public health: COVID-19 secondment” to work within the COVID-19 Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing National Core Study to investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on population health. \nHow to Participate\nJoin the Zoom meeting using the following information: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82744983887?pwd=azhvem52ZkhEZFpIZUNReHdIZ2I1UT09 \nMeeting ID: 827 4498 3887\nPasscode: 769595 \nOne tap mobile\n+442034815237\,\,82744983887#\,\,\,\,*769595# United Kingdom\n+442034815240\,\,82744983887#\,\,\,\,*769595# United Kingdom \nDial by your location\n+44 203 481 5237 United Kingdom\n+44 203 481 5240 United Kingdom\n+44 203 901 7895 United Kingdom\n+44 208 080 6591 United Kingdom\n+44 208 080 6592 United Kingdom\n+44 330 088 5830 United Kingdom\n+44 131 460 1196 United Kingdom \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcWO2CFkF7
