Invited Talk of Prof. Xin Geng from East China Normal University
Professor Xin Geng, Dean of the School of Computer Science in Southeast University, gave a talk entitled "mark enhancement: releasing the power of mark space" at the invitation of the School of Computer and Electronic Information on May 13, 2021. The academic presentation was hosted by Professor Ji Genlin, Dean of the school of CEI/AI.
In most machine learning paradigms, examples are marked with 0/1, (0 for uncorrelated and 1 for related). In the labeling space generated by this method, all samples can only be placed on the vertices of the unit hypercube, which greatly limits the analysis. By learning the correlation between examples in the training set and the correlation between markers, we can extend the original 0/1 marker to a richer form of category supervision, which makes it possible for more complex analysis operations in the marker space. This process is called "marker enhancement". Through mark enhancement, marking space is expected to be better analysed.
Professor Geng's language is humorous, scientific and rigorous. Thewarm and academic atmosphere of the whole conference greatly broadens the scientific vision of faculties and students. After the academic report, Professor Geng had a lively academic communication with the faculties and students, and the talk was successfully concluded with warm applause.
