Title: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Industry

Speaker: Shanlin Yang, Academician ,Chinese Academy of Engineering,China

Abstract

Based on the development history of lithography machine, this report demonstrates that the basic research is the source of original technological innovation, and integrated innovation is the necessity for high-end product research and development. Through the development stages of the Internet, the report points out that such system-level products as the Internet are also high-tech products and further proposes an innovative thinking mode of system engineering as the four-dimensional space "science, technology, engineering, industry". Finally, the report introduces the future products industrial Internet and analyze the main problems, architecture and future development opportunities.

Title: The Construction of Science and Technology Industry System of Information System

Speaker: Jun Lu, Academician ,Chinese Academy of Engineering,China

Abstract

The world is undergoing a momentous changes unseen in a century, and the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation has already entered a new historical starting point. Under the impact of new science revolution and industrial transformation, Chinese information-technology industry is facing new challenges on its development. So the times call for new ideas and practices in the development of science and technology industry. Guided by "goal orientation, problem orientation and effect orientation", this report will profoundly explore the formation of the world's science and technology industry pattern and the development of future Chinese science and technology industry from the following three dimensions: scientific and technological system, industrial system and institutional system. Taking the construction of quantum science and technology industry as an example, the report will describe the process of how Chinese scientists get rid of the shackles of Western science and technology industry and build an independent and controllable science and technology industry system. Guided by the scientific and social system engineering method, we will continue to liberate and develop the productive forces, and to promote the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way through the continuous construction of the scientific and technological industrial system.

Title:
Human-centred Perspectives for Data Quality Discovery

Speaker:  Shazia Sadiq

Abstract

Data workers and platforms are facing a number of challenges that have emerged from re-purposing of data and lack of data quality awareness. In this talk, I will outline how human centred perspectives can assist in overcoming some of these challenges to achieve responsible and efficient use of data.

Title:
Data Management for Effective and Efficient Deep Learning

Speaker: Lei Chen, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, IEEE Fellow, China

Abstract

In recent years, deep learning (DL) has significantly penetrated and has been widely adopted in various fields of application, including facial recognition, strategy games (AlphaGo and Texas hold'em) and question answering. However, the effectiveness of the models and efficiency of the training process strongly depend on how well the associated data is managed. It is very challenging to train an effective deep learning-based image classifier without properly labelled training data. Furthermore, training efficiency is severely affected by a large amount of training data, complex structures of the models and tones of hyper parameters. A lack of validation for result data and explanation also seriously affect the applicability of trained models. In this talk, I will discuss three issues on how to manage data for effective and efficient deep learning: 1) how to prepare data for effective DL, which includes data extraction and integration as well as data labelling; 2) how to optimize DL training, including data compression and computation graph optimization; and 3) how to conduct explanation to make the model robust and transparent. Some future work will be highlighted at the end.
