Knowledge Distillation for Anomaly Detection Open
Unsupervised deep learning techniques are widely used to identify anomalous behaviour. The performance of such methods is a product of the amount of training data and the model size. However, the size is often a limiting factor for the dep…

Medicine in an Age of Revolution Open
This work is the first major attempt since the 1970s to challenge the idea that the essential engine of medical (and scientific) change in seventeenth-century Britain emanated from puritanism. It seeks to reaffirm the crucial role of the p…
