Title: Cognitive biases in human centric decision making and control
Time: 16:00-16:30
Host: Dongrui Wu
Abstract: We deal with the broadly perceived decision making and control in a human centric context, that is, when the human being is a key elements, and his/her judgments, assessments and evaluations play an important role. The solutions obtained by using some mathematical modeling, decision analytic and control tools and techniques should be transparent, explainable and trustworthy to the human agent(s)s involved, and hence easier acceptable and implementable. We present an approach in which in the models considered the reflection of some human specific characteristocs is advocated, notably some cognitive biases which are some deviations from what traditional models, usually based on the utility maximization, postulate, and which are often followed by humans. After a brief review of main cognitive biases, we concentrate on the status quo bias, i.e. a tendency to defend and bolster the status quo, and avoid changes, and illustrate it use in a control model of regional agricultural development.

Title: Dealing with concept drift in stream data mining
Time: 16:30-17:00
Host: Dongrui Wu
Abstract: This lecture presents an overview of techniques to deal with concept drift in stream data mining, and moreover, describes original concepts developed by the author to solve classification and regression problems in a nonstationary environment. Unlike the vast majority of previous approaches, which are largely based on heuristics, it highlights methods and algorithms that are mathematically justified. More precisely, nonparametric techniques based on Parzen kernels and orthogonal series are employed to address concept drift in the problem of non-stationary regressions and classification in a time-varying environment. The content of the lecture will be beneficial for researchers and practitioners who deal with stream data, e.g. in telecommunication, banking, and sensor networks. The material presented in the lecture is based on the recent book:

Title: Integrated circuit design for deep learning and AI applications
Time: 17:00-17:30
Host: Dongrui Wu
Abstract: Integrated circuits are omnipresent. We not only use mobile phones, personal computers but we are surrounded by systems whose operation highly depends on advances sensors, processing systems, controllers etc. such as home appliances, cars, smart cards, smart energy systems, bio-medical equipement, smart offices, transportation systems and many others. There are more and more new applications appearing in the picture with enormous data flows to deal with and process for our advantage. One of these application areas is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and specifically Deep Learning in various domains of applications. For these new envisaged applications we will need electronic systems with much improved, maybe 1000 times, performance in terms of power consumption, speed of operation and reliability. Data transfer bottleneck, power consumption and scalability become major obstacles to be overcome. 3D integration looks as a fantastic area of development and offers also unprecedented opportunities by allowing blocks fabricated in heterogeneous technologies to be integrated in one chip. This allows for stacking and integration of microprocessors, memories, RF circuitry, sensors, batteries and hyper-capacitors, energy harvesting blocks, biological and chemical sensors and many new types of building blocks in one chip. However innovation is needed for new developments. AI acceleration requires still better solutions! In this lecture we will present the state of-the-art and an outlook with commentaries what kind of new solutions might be needed.

Title: Searching for fingerprints of brain activity
Time: 17:30-18:00
Host: Dongrui Wu
Abstract: In recent years great progress in methods of brain activity measurement, analysis of neuroimaging and electrophysiological data enabled understanding of some brain processes. Identifying patterns of EEG/MEG, ECoG or fMRI signals that serve as “fingerprints” of high subnetwork activity allows for many applications: linking brain activity with thoughts, intentions, emotions and other mental states, objective diagnostic methods in neuropsychiatry, reliable brain-computer interfaces (BCI), optimization of brain processes through neurofeedback, therapeutic interventions using neuromodulation, neurorehabilitation based on direct brain stimulation combined with behavioral procedures. Some commercial applications for treating epilepsy, major depression and other mental problems are already on the market.
This talk will be focused on attractor neurodynamics that engages many brain regions. “The society of mind” approach of Marvin Minsky may be used to link temporal binding of modules without fixed connections into large-scale networks. Our recent fMRI experiments show how learning leads to dynamical reconfiguration of functional brain networks. Challenges that remain to understand how brains perform complex computations will be presented.

Title: Control engineering perspectives of vehicular dynamics and the beyond
Time: 18:30-19:00
Host: Wenzhong Liu
Abstract: Automatic control systems in all kinds of vehicles, including conventional trains and modern electric vehicles, are getting increasingly sophisticated. This is because 1) more and more ‘smart’ devices are equipped on such vehicles, 2) the changing of how people interact with vehicles, and 3) the ability of vehicles to interact with other facilities empowered by modern technologies. In this talk, I will present some results obtained in our previous research projects on energy-efficient operational control of heavy haul trains and electric vehicles equipped with advanced technologies. After that, some future research activities about electric vehicle control and optimization considering vehicle-to-everything (V2X) possibility will be discussed.
