The Development，Key Technologies, Opportunities and Challenges of High throughput Data Center Networks
Abstract：
The amount of data generated by humans is increasing at an astonishing rate, and from 2016 to 2025, the global data volume will grow tenfold. High throughput computing provides parallel and irregular computing. How to build a high throughput computing model that "calculates more, faster, and more stably" requires solving a series of interconnection and interoperability problems. The high-throughput data center network has the characteristics of high concurrency, low latency, high certainty, and high energy efficiency, and adopts deterministic network and time sensitive network technology, which can solve the interconnection and interoperability problems in high-throughput computing with powerful information processing capabilities. It supports the addition of billions of terminals and massive information processing requests, builds information high-speed railways, and provides rich AI models, knowledge graphs, and application services, Promote the implementation of the digital economy.

Networking for EdgeAI
Abstract：
Training aware-data is an important means to achieve the integration of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, while edge computing provides model training services nearby by integrating network, computing, storage and other functions to meet the needs of low latency, high bandwidth and so on, enabling the Internet of Things. We comprehensively analyzed the requirements and challenges faced by edge side model training driven by big data, and proposed the idea of Networking for EdgeAI, which improves the performance of model training in edge environments through network methods such as resource allocation and task scheduling. We introduced two scientific issues and some key technologies in edge intelligence. By studying edge intelligence, we aim to promote the development and application of this technology, driving the integration of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.

Compound Eye Computational Vision Model Based on Deep Learning Neural Network
Abstract:
David Marr's Epipolar Geometry and Tomaso Poggio's Stereo Vision are two epoch-making computational vision models of the 1980s, leading 20 years of theoretical research on computational vision with unlimited support. However, in well-known application systems, there are few systems constructed using these two models, especially after ChatGPT-4 has recently demonstrated amazing skills in visual understanding, which gradually makes people forget these two major theories.
This lecture reviews the development of computational vision and the reasons why these two theories came into being, analyzes the reasons why they did not build brilliant. The most important thing is to clarify the context between theory and reality, as well as the connection with modern theory of computation. Aiming at the multimodal characteristics in visual understanding, it proposes a compound eye computing vision model based on deep learning neural network, so that the ancient theory, based on the development of modern science and technology, revitalizes youth.

Applied Statistics for Infectious Disease Diagnosis
Abstract：
COVID-19 is a pandemic that caused more than 6.92 million deaths until 10/May/2023. X-ray and CT scans are two popular chest imaging techniques used in radiology to get detailed images of the chest noninvasively for diagnostic purposes. Traditional manual analysis of X-ray or CT-based scans is tedious and error-prone. To solve the problem, our lab develops and applies new applied statistics theories and techniques, such as advanced pooling-based networks, graph convolutional networks, attention neural networks, weakly supervised networks, etc. We also use cloud computing techniques to run our developed app on the remote server to help doctors in the suburban area. This talk will cover two other chest-related infectious diseases: secondary pulmonary tuberculosis and community-acquired pneumonia.
