Potential Projects for BSc Students
I will be more than happy to work with BSs students on these project topics:
Engineering Projects for BSc Students (for those taking CSE4197/CSE4297 course units):
- AI Agents for multi-player games: This project line focuses on designing intelligent AI agents that can play games optimally, much like the opponents we encounter when playing against a computer. The goal is to build agents capable of strategic decision-making in competitive environments. The project could incorporate advanced AI techniques such as Reinforcement Learning, Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), AlphaZero, and MuZero.
- Trading mechanism design: This project focuses on developing trading and pricing mechanisms within multi-agent environments. Students will design interaction protocols and distributed optimisation strategies, potentially using techniques from game theory to model and analyse agent behaviour. For this project, an optional extension could include incorporating blockchain technology for decentralisation.
- Secure Federated Learning: This project focuses on detecting backdoor attacks in federated learning environments, where certain agents may attempt to manipulate the global model during collaborative training. Students will develop techniques to identify such malicious behaviour and ensure model integrity in distributed settings. Through this project, students will gain hands-on experience in data science, machine learning, and data privacy.
