By watching the behaviour of customers using multiple sources, Featurespace software can indicate whether activity indicates fraud. It can work using only small amounts of historical data, and patterns of behavioural change can be recognised in real-time.

David Excell is CTO and co-founder, overseeing core development and delivery of Featurespace’s solutions. Before founding Featurespace in 2005, David worked as a research engineer at the Wireless Signal Processing Group at National ICT Australia (NICTA). He also has experience as a self-employed IT consultant. David has first class honours degrees in Engineering and IT from the Australian National University.

Featurespace is backed by institutional investors Imperial Innovations, Nesta, Mike Lynch, and Robert Sansom.

David will be talking about the Featurespace technology, and the problems the company has faced and overcome.

Date: Monday, 8th April - 7.30pm for 8pm start.
Venue: Venue: Mills & Reeve, Botanic House, 100 Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 1PH

Audio Analytic's software can automatically recognise a variety of sounds. It's based on technology developed as a result of three years research in sound recognition. It's modular, so it can be used to recognize different sounds, and the range of sounds can be changed or expanded, and it can work in difficult acoustic environments.

Dr Chris Mitchell is CEO. He founded Audio Analytic following the completion of his PhD in sound information systems and signal processing. He will be talking about the technology and the problems the company has faced and overcome, and where the technology might go in the future.

Date: Monday, 4th Feb - 7.30pm for 8pm start.

Tim Wilkinson is a member of the Cambridge University Engineering Department's Centre of Molecular Materials for Photonics and Electronics group and has been working in the field of free-space optics, devices and systems for over 15 years. Recent research has involved applications of holographic technology including adaptive optical interconnects, optical pattern recognition and display applications for novel liquid crystal electro-optic devices.

Metamaterials are artificial materials with properties that do not exist normally in nature. Using metamaterials we can manipulate light in ways that previously was not thought possible. Most often this is linked with ideas of cloaking, to render objects invisible, but optical metamaterials have other properties too...

Tim will be talking about optical metamaterials, how they can be made, and their possible applications.

Date: 3rd Dec 2012 - 7.30pm for 8pm start
Venue: ARM, 110 Fulbourn Rd, Cambridge CB1 9NJ

Everybody is welcome. Entrance free.

John Grant of Nine Tiles will be discussing next generation networks - beyond IPv6 and LTE - and how international standards bodies such as ITU-T are planning to address the flaws that have been identified in IP. He will also review how networking technology has been influenced by the evolution of hardware platforms over the last three decades, and whether a change as big as the introduction of microprocessors might be on the horizon.

Date: 2nd July 2012 - 7.30pm for 8pm start
