Technical Lecture: 

This lecture will include discussion of the state of some of the current developments regarding on-device generative AI and Multimodal Language Models (MLLMs), looking at how this can bring enhanced perception to machines that interact with humans along with enabling better and more useful responses. 

This involves compact implementation of MLLMs, taking input from various sensors of image, sound and other types, along with contextual information to deliver superior perception based on data fusion. This then providing the analysis needed to generate more useful and accurate responses in support of a machine’s human interlocutors.

Various use cases of Human Behavioural AI for machine perception will be discussed, and though there will be some focus on mobility applications such as Cars with Personality, the technologies involved can be applied to a wide range of applications providing these with greatly improved human machine interaction.

The advantages of moving from high level to low level fusion will be briefly discussed, and also the potential of neuromorphic technology to deliver higher performance at lower power consumption and in a smaller footprint. Further a new technology, Temporal Event Neural Networks will be introduced.
