Title: 无监督深度学习及物理属性的融合

Speaker: 戚海蓉，美国田纳西大学电气工程与计算机科学系教授，IEEE Fellow，冈萨雷斯冠名教授

Time: 2019年7月10日上午9:30-10:30

Place: 7003全讯白菜320会议室

Abstract

Deep learning models have achieved tremendous success but often need large amount of training data which might not be readily available. This talk explores unsupervised learning and its application to hyperspectral image superresolution. Also in this example, we study ways to incorporate physical constraints to the network design in a natural fashion, such that the representations/outputs from the network can follow certain distribution and thus satisfy certain important physical constraints.

Title: 面向联邦学习的用户级隐私攻击

Speaker: 王志波，博士，武汉大学国家网络安全学院教授

Time: 2019年7月10日上午10:30-11:30

Place: 7003全讯白菜320会议室

Abstract

联邦学习是一种分布式机器学习框架，近年来在隐私安全与机器学习领域受到广泛关注和研究。相比于传统的集中式学习框架，联邦学习将模型的训练过程转移到了用户端，仅需要用户周期性地提交模型参数更新就能完成模型训练，避免了服务端对用户数据的恶意访问和滥用。本次报告研究了联邦学习中的隐私问题，提出了一个基于恶意服务端的用户隐私数据重建攻击方法，通过建立一个多任务生成对抗网络模型来模拟用户的数据分布，并利用用户参数更新来计算其数据表征以重建特定用户隐私数据。相比已有的攻击方法只能重建表征某个类别的样本数据，我们的攻击方法可以实现用户级的数据重建，并通过手写数字分类和人脸识别两个任务验证了攻击有效性，阐明了模型参数更新中包含了过多的隐私信息，现有联邦学习框架仍存在安全隐患。

Title: Learn from Human Eyes & Brain for Handling Big Visual Data

Speaker: Weisi Lin, Nanyang Technological University

Time: 2019年7月10日下午3:30-4:30

Place: 7003全讯白菜320会议室

Abstract

Human eyes receive much more visual information than what can be processed by the related part of the brain in real time. In response to this big data challenge, the human visual system (HVS; consisting eyes, visual pathways, visual cortices, etc) has been evolved to equip with the effective visual attention (VA) mechanism to select the most informative or interesting region in a scene for focus at a time; for instance, we pay attention to a red flower among many green leaves in a picture, or a green leaf among many red flowers. The VA and its computational models have attracted continuous research effort since William James' time. It is beneficial to understand the VA and incorporate an appropriate model computationally in visual/multimedia signal processing, toward various AI-oriented tasks.

In this talk, we will first introduce the research problems associated with VA, as well as the relevant physiological and psychological ground.  Afterward, we are to discuss the principle of computational VA modelling and the advances in the area, including approaches with handcrafted and deep-learnt features. Meaningful applications in perceptual quality assessment, image retargeting, video coding, computer graphics, and fast target identification are then demonstrated. The talk will also present our opinions toward possible future research and development.
