Topic 1:

Unification of Deep Learning and Reasoning

Dapeng Oliver Wu

Fellow, IEEE

Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Florida, USA.

Abstract: While deep learning has achieved a huge success in various learning problems, the current models are still far away from replicating many functions that a normal human brain can do. Memorization based deep architecture have been recently proposed with the objective to learn and predict better. In this talk, I will present a model that involves a primary learner with an adjacent structured memory bank which can not only predict the output from a given input but also relate it to all its past memorized instances and help in its creative understanding. This paper presents a spatially forked deep learning architecture that can even predict and reason about the nature of an input belonging to a category never seen in the training data by relating it with the memorized past representations at the higher layers. Characterizing images of unseen geometrical figures is used as an example to showcase the operational success of the proposed framework.

 

Biography: Dapeng Oliver Wu received Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, in 2003.

Topic 2:

Machine Learning for Cybersecurity and Smart Nation Applications

Steven Hoi

School of Information Systems Singapore Management University (SMU) Singapore

Abstract: In this talk, I will first give an overview of our research projects in the context of cybersecurity and smart nation applications and introduce the opportunities and challenges of machine learning research. I will then present some example projects in cybersecurity and smart nation (such as malicious ULR detection, healthy diet and smart food consumption), and demonstrate how the state-of-the-art deep learning technique can be applied to tackle the practical challenges in the real-world projects. I will then discuss the limitations of traditional machine learning and deep learning methodologies, and finally highlight some frontier research topics of emerging machine learning beyond traditional deep learning approaches.

Topic 4:

Monitoring Systems and the Internet

Prof. Yang Xiao

Professor of Department of Computer Science, The University of Alabama, USA.

Abstract: Accountability implies that any entity should be held responsible for its own specific action or behavior so that the entity is part of larger chains of accountability. One of the goals of accountability is that once an event has transpired, the events that took place are traceable so that the causes can be determined afterward. The poor accountability provided by today’s computers and networks wastes a great deal of money and effort. This is due to the simple fact that today’s computing and network infrastructure was not built with accountability in mind. In this talk we introduce our previous work: accountable logging methodology called flow-net. We apply this methodology to many applications ranging from operating system design to computer networks.

Biography: Dr. Yang Xiao currently is a Professor of Department of Computer Science at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA. His current research interests include Cyber Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Security, Wired/Wireless Networks, Smart Grid, and Telemedicine. He has published over 200 journal papers and over 200 conference papers. Dr. Xiao was a Voting Member of IEEE 802.11 Working Group from 2001 to 2004, involving IEEE 802.11 (WIFI) standardization work. He is a Fellow of IET. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief for Cyber-Physical Systems (Journal), International Journal of Security and Networks, International Journal of Sensor Networks, and Journal of Communications. He had (s) been an Editorial Board or Associate Editor for 20 international journals. He served (s) as a Guest Editor for over 20 times for different international journals.
