Presentation Transcript

  1. Centre for Applied Data Analytics (CeADAR) Industry engagement Dr. Susan McKeever Senior lecturer in School of Computer Science@ TU Dublin City CampUS

  2. Intro • CeADAR = centre for applied data analytics and machine intelligence • CeADAR team = research and lecturing staff in TU Dublin and UCD • Focus is on data analytics • Enterprise Ireland funded group

  3. CeADAR Structure • Industry steering board/ Enterprise Ireland • 3rd levels: UCD (11) and TU Dublin (7) • Industry: company members of CeADAR

  4. Day job – senior lecturer in School of Computer science • My role Part of my time bought out for CeADAR 3 years ago – started as a CeADAR “collaborator” 3 months ago – became a Principal Investigator

  5. What’s the value? • +s • Companies get access to data analytics expertise and innovation, education – ultimately more jobs • For TU Dublin (& me): • - Funding money, “real world” research work, research outcomes, • expertise, industry relationships, speaker events, profile,

  6. Industry Engagement via CeADAR: Core research • Companies, and CeADAR staff, suggest innovation projects: • CeADAR develops the industry prototype/ “demonstrators” – which companies can evaluate and buy • Develops working relationships

  7. Example: DataGen - licensed Automatic Dataset generation

  8. Other CeADAR mechanisms for industry engagement • Apart from Core research – Other vehicles for industry projects/ engagement: • Being in CeADARhelp • Innovation vouchers • Innovation partnerships • Industry focused scholarships (e.g Marie Curie) • Disruptive technology fund • And more..

  9. Industry engagement • Innovation voucher – 5K • Enterprise Ireland fund these • Small but perfectly formed • Great for getting practice at how projects are set up and run in TU Dublin ! • Good for setting up industry relationships • Examples: • Hotel: Dataset of “issues” maintained by Hotel staff –prediction model built • Analytics store - licensed Data Gen and we extended with an IV

  10. Innovation Partnerships • Innovation Partnerships • Larger applied research projects • Companies gives some cash (20% ish) • TU Dublin carries out the research project • IP available to be bought by the company • E.g Ag Science project “Video monitoring of cattle to spot atypical movements indicating distress or readiness for insemination”

  11. Industry partner based Scholarships • Two scholarships for TU Dublin in cooperation with CeADAR this year • Marie Curie • 500K funding • Industry relationships made this possible

  12. For you? • Is there a funded industry focussed group(s) in your domain that TU Dublin is involved in ? • If not.. • Innovation vouchers • What are the industry conferences in your domain - be a speaker? • Scholarships with industry (e.g. Irish Research Council enterprise partnership scheme for PhDs) • What other industry activities are happening in your domain with TU Dublin? (e.g. placements? Project fairs?) • Might lead to IPPs, scholarships with industry..

  13. Questions? Dr. Susan McKeever, School of Computer Science
