Events
The HK Tech Forum on Data Science and AI (DSAI) gathers world-renowned scholars in data science and AI to address challenging issues in driving data science and AI technology for the benefit of the society. Featured speakers include Turing award winner Prof. John Hopcroft, world-class AI entrepreneur Dr.
Professor Phil Jones will present his experiences of Research Assessment Exercises, mainly from a UK Built Environment perspective. Professor Jones is a leading building scientist with achievements spanning half a century. Professor Jones has been involved with the Research Excellence Framework (REF, the UK equivalent of RAE) as an active researcher and during his tenure as the Head of the Welsh School of Architecture in Cardiff University, during which Architecture at Cardiff was ranked 1st in the UK. He was a member of the 2001 Built Environment and 2008 Architecture and Built Environment RAE panels in the UK, and the 2006 Built Environment panel in Hong Kong. He will talk in general terms about the RAE and REF, and then focus on specific features relating to outputs, impact and environment.
Come and get an in-depth understanding of our Data Science Programmes at the CityU Virtual Undergraduate Open Day!
Members of the CityU community are welcome to join us! Apart from taking this opportunity to unite with fellow alumni, students, and faculty members, participants will receive updates on the latest progress of our School from our Dean and Programme Leaders. In the data science talk, we will share our research on using various data science approaches to confronting the COVID-19 pandemic.
Deep learning has resulted in breakthroughs in dealing with big data, in speech recognition, computer vision, natural language processing, and many other domains. It is based on deep neural networks with structures designed for various purposes. A mathematical foundation is needed to help understand modelling, and the approximation or generalization capability of deep learning models with network architectures and structures. In this talk, Professor Zhou will consider deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that are induced by convolutions. The convolutional architecture identifies essential differences between deep CNNs and classic neural networks. Professor Zhou will describe a mathematical theory for deep CNNs associated with rectified linear unit activation. In particular, Professor Zhou will discuss approximation and learning capability of deep CNNs dealing with functions of many variables.
The CityU Virtual Information Day 2021 will be held on 23 October 2021 (Saturday). Join us online!
Professor Junhui Wang, Professor of the School of Data Science, is invited to give a lecture at an online seminar organised by the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study of CityU.
The Day will begin by President Way Kuo’s opening address. World-renowned Artificial Intelligence scholar and entrepreneur, Prof Wen Gao, will deliver the keynote speech through online platform.
The IFAC workshop series on “Control Systems and Data Science Toward Industry 4.0”, co-organized by School of Data Science, Hong Kong Institute for Data Science and the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) has come to the 3rd Module. The Module 3 of IFAC Workshop Series focus on Electrical and Computer Engineering Systems and the module is to be given by world-renowned scholars and industrial leaders from different continents. The module will be held on 9 July, 2021 (Friday) at 07:45pm. It is free for registration.
