Accelerating Research Software Understandability Through Knowledge Capture
-Research Software is key to understand, reproduce and reuse existing work in many disciplines, ranging from Geosciences to Astronomy or Artificial Intelligence. However, research software is usually difficult to find, reuse, compare and understand due to its disconnected documentation (dispersed in manuals, readme files, web sites, and code comments) and...

Representation Learning for Relational and Cross-Lingual Data
-Utilising real-world relational signals (e.g., structured knowledge) and understanding different languages are two (of the many) fundamental goals of Artificial General Intelligence. The corresponding explorations, however, have been relatively separate. In this talk, I will introduce our recent research outputs on bridging this gap: - We discovered the unnoticed connections between...

The challenge of adherence to digital healthcare - the case of ASICA
-Patient-directed digital healthcare delivery is becoming increasingly prominent and has received impetus from the recent COVID pandemic. Patient-directed digital healthcare is viewed positively by policy makers as a means to increase healthcare access, reduce costs and increase efficiency. Patient-directed digital healthcare also appears to be popular with certain patient groups....
