Lunch will be provided after the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First session:&nbsp;Real-Scale Social Simulations Using Societal Synthetic Populations in Digital Twin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is essential for researchers to consider human factors in real-scale social simulations that take into account people living and working in target communities. In order to do so, data synthesis for human factors is getting attention recently. This lecturer shows how to synthesize the population data using statistics, and several applications of synthesized population data in real-scale social simulations including COVID-19 counter-measures. Latest research work in synthetic population and its applications are shown in this talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second session:&nbsp;Multi- and Many-Objective Optimizations Using Evolutionary Computation Methods<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the complex world, we are facing challenges with multiple objectives to be tackled. When the number of objectives becomes many, the diversity of non-dominated solutions becomes high. This talk shows the fundamental knowledge in evolutionary computation methods for many-objective optimization problems. The lecturer received an IEEE Fellow in this research area. Some tips will be shown how to increase the citation of our papers in the research communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCD Network Intelligence and Automation Lab (NIA) is pleased to Host a Distinguished Lecture by Prof Tadahiko Murata.Seminar Room B003\/4, Belfield, Dublin Monday, May 11&nbsp;\u2022&nbsp;11 AM &#8211; 12 PM Registration Link: https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ie\/e\/ieee-systems-man-and-cybernetics-society-tickets-1985129564967 Overview This event is part of the Distinguished Lecture Program and will be presented by Prof Tadahiko Murata.
