Chris' Thesis Page

Here are some BSc and MSc thesis topics I'm interested in supervising. Feel free to e-mail for more of a discussion.

1. I'm interested in spiking neural networks, and have a mechanism for learning to categorise with them. There's a page with code and a paper .
2. I was working on the Human Brain Project .
3. I'm flexible, so if you have a neural idea, ask.
4. Here are some ideas:
   • Spiking Neural Systems
     • Categorising with neurons (CANT, nest, spiNNaker)
     • Parameter set a 1 ms. FLIF model. Change my 10ms Fatiguing Leaky Integrate and Fire neuron model to a 1ms model, and validate it on biological data.
     • Chatbot on Nest
     • Chatbot on spiNNaker.
     • An agent using the neurorobotic platform.
     • Improved vision system in spiNNaker or Nest.
     • Introduce a new neural model to Nest, spiNNaker or both.
     • Introduce a new synapse model to Nest, spiNNaker or both.
     • Any Neuro-Cognitive Model.
     • Any rule based system in neurons (we have a translation mechanism)(easy).
     • Implement interactive activation theory in neurons (Nest). Sharks and Jets in Nest. This might be a nice way to provide an alternative to our CA model that is immediately relevant to cognitive models.
   • Natural Language Processing Systems
     • Chatbot
     • Chatbot for Pandemic
     • GPT-3 for generation
     • Plink Parser for New Sentences
     • Tutorial Agent
     • I'm interested in tutorial agents for aspects of CST 3170.
   • Other AI Systems
     • Chess
     • Pandemic Agent
     • I'm interested in modelling the spread of diseases (like Covid-19).
5. General: I've superevised a lot of theses over the years using the University of California at Irvine's Categorisation Benchmark . The idea is that a a student uses a machine learning algorithm on tests on the benchmark. Any algorithm will work. You can use multiple benchmarks. You can use multiple algorithms. It's good to use an N-Fold test.
6. General: A chatbot.
7. Very General: Anything in AI
