Robust Low-Dimensional Representations for Noisy Real-World Data

Real world datasets are often plagued by label and input noise due to variability in data collection, annotation errors, and incomplete records. Fully curating such datasets is costly and impractical, and models trained only on idealised or clean data often fail to generalise to other test sets in deployment. This project develops noise‑resilient AI models by jointly learning low‑dimensional representations for both the data and model parameters within the training phase to build models that learn from both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty and become robust and generalisable. The project is in close collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory and benefits from the scientific environment and resources provided by the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) and the Institute for People‑Centred AI at the University of Surrey.
