Imagine if Amazon Alexa or Siri could play a cheerful song if they hear sadness in your voice. But how do these AI systems arrive at a conclusion that you're sad? 🤔
Enter explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), an area of study that seeks to explain the results produced by machine learning algorithms. Since plenty of XAI techniques are far too technical and difficult to understand, NUS Computing Assistant Prof Brian Lim & his PhD student Zhang Wencan have made it their mission to make XAI explanations more relatable and more human-centric.

Late last month, NUS Computing Assoc Prof Martin Henz launched a book called the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Java Script (SICP JS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology!
Prof Henz's book is an adaptation of the computer science textbook Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP), which represented a landmark in computer science education & was written by Hal Abelson & Gerald Jay Sussman.
Here’s a fun fact: Prof Henz & his NUS colleagues, Dr Low Kok Lim & Dr Boyd Anderson, also used various drafts and revisions of SICP JS in the NUS Computing module, CS1101S Programming Methodology!

Last weekend, students from Developer Student Clubs @ NUS Computing (DSC) received an appreciation plaque from Education Minister Chan Chun Sing for helping Diabetes Singapore improve their diabetes screening workflow, data management, and stakeholder engagement, with a new and improved database management system.
They were led by project team leaders Olivia Johansen (Computer Science, Year 3) and Wong Zhou Wai (Business Analytics, Year 3) (extreme right, holding plaque together).
The club took the chance to show the new and improved features of the database management system to Minister Chan at Diabetes Singapore’s cycling charity ride in Sentosa last Saturday. 💪 This was followed by a cycling trip around Sentosa with the club’s adviser, senior lecturer Dr Sharon Tan (first row, fourth from left, in blue & orange).
Well done, to the Project Siew Dai team! 😊✨
