Three USP students will travel to Tokyo to participate in the Global Next Leaders Forum. The student-led conference was initiated in 2010 by students from the University of Tokyo and aims to build international networks, create platforms for students from around the world to exchange ideas and develop leaders who tackle global issues. The 2018 conference will focus on the topic of “Gender”.

A USP student will travel to Tempe, Arizona to attend the “Desert Nights, Rising Stars” Writers Conference hosted by the Virginia G. Piper Centre for Creative Writing at Arizona State University (ASU). The conference provides an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas and share an appreciation for literature and writing.

In this new USP Lecture Series, we have Computer Scientist A/P Terence Sim from NUS School of Computing to share with us on “Getting Computer to See”. Cameras are everywhere, recording images of everyday life. But computers still don't understand very well what these images contain. Image understanding is the core problem in computer vision, and it is a much harder problem than meets the eye (pun intended). This session will give an overview of the different sub fields in computer vision, the progress so far, and why you should learn computer vision. All USP students are encouraged to attend this session. Registration is open to all NUS community. Read more about the talk and speaker HERE.

USPerspectives is a platform where USP students can come together to have conversations about what matters to them. In this session, they will be discussing on the topic "Love and Relationships".
