Misleading titles are fun.

I did this years ago in a comedy club. May update it slightly or just reuse what Ive already got.

Potential Talks

The Below Talks May Not Appear at This Event but will be Cycled to the next event or at the speakers discretion

Hello Computer

Speaker: Niall McLaughlin

Not really an abstract but here's some ideas. I'm nearing the end of my PhD now, so I could probably give a talk on some of my research. I don't know if would be as interesting to other people as to me...

During my PhD I've been working on robust biometrics - speaker recognition that's robust to substantial background noise and facial recognition, robust to severe lighting variation. While my research itself is probably not suitable for a general audience, I could give a talk on the generalities of how, for example, facial recognition works - hopefully without getting bogged down into too much maths!
