Supporting Mental Health in a Virtual Workplace COVID-19 has seen a marked increase in mental health issues. We all have mental health and poor mental health has serious consequences for individuals and our workplaces, with it costing UK businesses £33-42 billion annually. This presentation will provide practical advice on how to look after our own mental wellbeing while working remotely. It will include what we can do to support those around us and ideas for ways to support our teams during the current situation. Finally, we will look ahead to the effects that being able to return to the office can have on our mental health and how we can prepare for that. |

The Brian Hey Prize 2021 - LocalGLMnet: interpretable deep learning for tabular data
15 December 2021In this webinar, the authors of the 2021 Brian Hey prize winning paper present a new deep learning model called the LocalGLMnet.
