Academic Report of Dr. Shixia Liu from Tsinghua University

Title: Interpretable Machine Learning Based on Visual AnalysisAbstract: Interpretable machine learning aims to make the decision-making process of machine learning models more transparent to researchers and practitioners, so as to achieve effective communication and collaboration between human and machine. This report will introduce our visual analysis framework for machine learning models. Thi...

Academic Report of Dr. Jielong Yang from Nanyang Technological University

Title: On Truth Finding in Multi-agent NetworksAbstract: A problem named “truth-finding” will be discussed in this talk. In this problem, an event is a phenomenon of interest and our goal is to infer the states of events (e.g., articles, movies, and signals) through biased observations of multiple agents (e.g., sensors and individuals) in a network. The local bias of each agent is unknown and...

Academic Report of Assistant Lecturer Xingjun Ma from University of Melbourne

Title: Adversarial Machine Learning: an introduction and tutorialAbstract: Deep learning has become increasingly popular in the past few years. This is largely attributed to a family of powerful models called deep neural networks (DNNs). With many stacked layers, and millions of neurons, DNNs are capable of learning complex non-linear mappings, and have demonstrated near or even surpassing huma...

Academic Report of Dr. Boyuan Chen from Columbia University, USA

Title: Machine Theory of Behavior and MindAbstract: We have seen impressive results from machine learning that enable machines to recognize objects very accurately, translate between multiple languages, and manipulate various objects with a high success rate. However, there is still a gap to build machines that can operate in an unconstrained environment. Humans can understand the goal, intenti...

Academic Report of Dr. Zhao He from Monash University, Australia

Title: Short Text Analysis and Topic Structure Mining Based on Metadata Topic ModelAbstract: As a kind of probabilistic generative model, the topic model is mainly applied to discrete data and assumes that the input data is generated by a number of “latent factors”. In text analysis, these “latent factors” usually contain some specific meanings, and each meaning can be explained by a set of...
