Talk Title:

Theory and Algorithms for Open-World Continual Learning

Abstract：

Continual/lifelong learning learns a sequence of tasks incrementally. There are two popular settings, class incremental learning (CIL) and task incremental learning (TIL). A major challenge of continual learning is catastrophic forgetting (CF). While several techniques are available to overcome CF for TIL, CIL remains to be highly challenging due to an additional difficulty of inter-task class separation. Although numerous techniques have been proposed to solve the CIL problem, they are mainly empirical. In this talk, I will present a theoretical study on how to solve the CIL problem. The key result is that the necessary and sufficient conditions for good CIL performances are within-task prediction and task-id prediction or out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. Interestingly, this result naturally connects continual learning and open-world learning, which aims to learn continuously during deployment, detecting novelties or OOD samples and learning them to become more and more knowledgeable. Based on this theoretical result, new CIL methods are designed, which outperform strong baselines by a large margin.

Automatic and Semi-Automatic Translation for Cloud Programming Models 

Abstract：

Cloud computing has gradually evolved into an infrastructural tool for many scientific and business applications with intensive data or computing requirements. One of the challenges in cloud computing now is how to run software efficiently on cloud platforms since lots of classic sequential codes are not ready to be executed in parallel in cloud environments, resulting in long execution time and low efficiency. It is also costly and labor intensive to redesign and convert current sequential codes into cloud codes running on cloud programming models such as MapReduce or Spark. Thus, automatic translation from sequential codes to cloud codes is one of the directions that could resolve the problem of slow code migration from traditional computing platforms to cloud infrastructures. In this talk, I will present several automatic translators (M2M, J2M and J2S) for cloud programming models MapReduce and Spark. I will provide details of the design of our translators and their performance results based on many experiments. Performance comparisons between hand coded cloud programs and automatically translated codes will also be carried out. Semi-automatic translation with human tuning will also be introduced. Our experimental results indicate that the translators we have designed not only can precisely translate the sequential codes such as MATLAB codes or Java codes into cloud codes, but also can achieve almost a linear speedup in performance if the data sizes in the applications are huge enough. Since cloud computing is used for big data anyway, this demonstrates that automatic translation to reduce labor costs is a possible effective way to go for cloud programming. In addition, the limitations and shortcomings of our automatic translation and semi-automatic translation will be identified and future directions in this area will be provided.

Urban Computing: Building Intelligent Cities Using AI and Big Data

Abstract: 

Urban computing connects ubiquitous sensing technologies, advanced data management, analytics models, and novel visualization methods, to create win-win-win solutions that improve urban environment, life quality, and city operation systems. This talk presents the vision and framework of urban computing, introducing the challenges and the state-of-the-art solutions in each layer of the framework. Based on the vision of urban computing, we have built an intelligent city operation system which has been deployed in over 20 cities as a digital foundation to empower Big Data-driven applications, such as traffic/crowd flow predictions, air quality forecasting, and public resource allocations.
