Applications of AI in Floating Offshore Wind Engineering and Fintech hosted by IET Singapore
About
Presentation 1
Presentation title: State-of-the-art Floating Offshore Wind Technologies with Deep Learning Digital Twin presented by Kobe Yung
Synopsis of the presentation:
The speaker will begin the sharing of background and the latest developments of floating offshore wind farms, along with some technical design considerations and industrial code of practice. Offshore wind energy has been contributing to the road of global decarbonisation and UK’s Net Zero 2050 target. Floating offshore wind technology is considered to have greater potential than the traditional approach of using fixed-bottom foundation infrastructure because most offshore wind resources are in the deep-sea region. However, maintaining large scale floating wind farm has enormous challenges under severe wind, wave and sea current conditions. Digital Twin technology provides the alternative solution in sophisticatedly monitoring the structural health. The speaker will present how to leverage AI Deep Learning to create high quality accelerated structural dynamics surrogate model prediction, which is faster than real-time for the instantaneous Digital Twin modelling.
Presentation 2
Presentation title: AI in Finance - Opportunities and Challenges presented by Dr. Tan Xue Wen
Synopsis of the presentation:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries across the board, and Finance is no exception. In the first half of this presentation, we will explore the diverse and evolving applications of AI in Finance, such as algorithmic trading, risk assessment, fraud detection, and personalized financial services, while highlighting current trends and future directions. The second half will focus on the limitations and risks of AI in financial contexts, including issues of bias, interpretability, and regulatory challenges. We will also discuss the role of human-centered AI (HCAI), in addressing these concerns and ensuring that technological progress remains aligned with ethical and societal values.
