Speech Title: Big Data Graph Learning and Prediction in Healthy Age Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved advanced performance in many fields such as traffic prediction, recommendation systems, and computer vision. Recently there are majorities of methods on GNN focusing on graph convolution, and less work about pooling. To address the problems of information loss and low feature representation capability during graph pooling operations. In this report, we explore higher efficient graph-level representation learning methods and their application to bioinformatics. Firstly, to address the problem of information loss in the pooling operation, we propose a hierarchical graph-level representation learning method with self-adaptive cluster aggregation. Secondly, to address the fact that all existing graph pooling models based on mutual information maximization need to construct negative samples and usually only consider local neighborhood information, we propose a mutual information graph pooling method based on simple Siamese network. Finally, we present an application of our proposed graph-level representation learning method to healthy aging prediction by using scRNA-seq data. |

Speech Title: Intelligent Multimedia Data Hiding: Techniques and Applications Abstract: Digital music, podcasts, live and recorded webinars, video calls, and streaming video have changed the way in which we communicate, and have become ubiquitous in virtually every organization. We employ these methods to convey ideas, train our employees, engage our customers, and of course entertain. The question is, does digital multimedia pose a threat? Could these channels be used to communicate information covertly, ex-filtrate intellectual property, share insider information, be used to convey command and control information, or provide the needed enabling technology for advanced persistent threats? Additionally, since the size of multimedia files are typically much larger than a single digital photo, does this mean that larger payloads of hidden information could be exchanged or leaked by exploiting weaknesses inherent in multimedia carriers? Or, on the contrary, is the human auditory system sensitive to even small changes in multimedia information such that we could detect anomalies caused by embedding hidden information in such streams? In this talk, we present the intelligent multimedia data hiding techniques and their possible application. We will cover some of the earliest and simplest forms of data hiding in digital multimedia and then move to some of the lasted innovations in order to provide insight into these questions. Some of the research branches, called reversible data hiding, is also depicted. |

Speech Title: Cultural Computing and Cultural Digital Media Research Abstract: The report is about the research work of our virtual media computing and cognition lab. There so many special art works in China, such as Chinese ink painting, Chinese paper cutting, Chinese calligraphy, etc. In addition, there are also exist Heavy colored painting，Batik painting, Dongba writing, woodcut special works in the Yunnan province. The multi-ethnic cultural heritage of Yunnan province is an important part of the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. The number of material and cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage is in the forefront of the country. Based on the theory and methods of the computer graphics and image processing, the team members in our lab choose some unique artistic styles and ethnic culture as the research object, and carry out the research on virtual media of national culture. So, the report mainly includes three research work: (1) visual media computing; (2) digital simulation of ethnic minority culture in Yunnan; (3) visual connotation extraction and scientific understanding of ethnic culture. It will display some special art styles which are simulated through digital techniques, and how to inhert and protect our culture by the extraction and understanding of the cultural heritage. |
