To build intelligent systems and tools, high-quality data is generally required. Moreover, these systems need to process complex data and can yield large amounts of data such usage logs, images, videos, and data collected from industrial sensors. Managing data to gain insights and improve these systems is thus a key challenge. It is also desirable to be able to extract information or models from data that are easily understandable by humans. Based on these objectives, this talk will discuss the use of data mining algorithms for discovering interesting and useful patterns in data generated from intelligent systems and other applications.The talk will first briefly review early study on designing algorithms for identifying frequent patterns. Then, an overview of recent challenges and advances will be presented to identify other types of interesting patterns in more complex data. Topics that will be discussed include high utility patterns, locally interesting patterns, and periodic patterns. Lastly, the SPMF opensource software will be mentioned and opportunities related to the combination of pattern mining algorithms with traditional artificial intelligence techniques for intelligent systems will be discussed. |

Speech Title: Intelligent decision-making system for nephrotic syndrome in Children Abstract: Childhood interrenal syndrome refers to a general term for a group of kidney diseases, including many types of glomerular disease and renal tubular disease.In allusion to problems such as the variety of comprehensive interrenal treatment plans for children and difficulty in evaluating prognosis, various technical means such as natural language processing NLP algorithms, knowledge mapping algorithms, and machine learning were used to process and analyze medical record data. Besides, an auxiliary diagnosis and treatment system with medical record inquiry, cause speculation, treatment plan recommendation, and efficacy evaluation was constructed.

Speech Title: A Fine-Grained Intrusion Protection System for Inter-Edge Trust Transfer Abstract: The phenomenal popularity of smart mobile computing hardware is enabling pervasive edge intelligence and ushering us into a digital twin era. However, the natural barrier between edge equipment owned by different interested parties poses unique challenges for cross-domain trust management. In addition, the openness of radio access and the accessibility of edge services render edge intelligence systems vulnerable and put sensitive user data in jeopardy. This paper presents an intrusion protection mechanism for edge trust transfer to address the inter-edge trust management issue and the conundrum of detecting indistinguishable malevolent nodes launching weak attacks. First, an inter-edge reputation transfer framework is established to leverage the trust quality of different edges to retain the accumulated trust histories of users when they roam in multi-edge environments structurally. Second, a fine-grained intrusion protection system is proposed to reduce the negative impact of attacks on user interactions and improve the overall trust quality and system security of edge intelligence services. The experimental results validate the effectiveness and superior performance of the proposed intrusion protection for edge trust transfer in securing, enhancing, and consolidating edge intelligence services. |
