In order to promote understanding among teachers in the Faculty of Data Science, the school held three research workshops from April to May 2024, providing a platform for teachers to share their research directions and content. The themes were "Information Security", "Artificial Intelligence Medical Imaging", and "Data Science Theory and Algorithms". 

 

In the first research workshop, Professor Zhou Wanlei, Vice Rector and Dean of the Faculty of Data Science at the City University of Macau, delivered an opening speech, expressing joy at the high level and professional development of the school's three major fields - "Information Security", "Artificial Intelligence Medical Imaging", and "Data Science Theory and Algorithms". He also looked forward to the continuous growth of the school's faculty in the future. Professor Zhu Tianqing, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Data Science, and Associate Professor Ying Zuobin, Programme Coordinator of the Graduate, presided over the workshop and delivered keynote speeches on "A Cybersecurity View on Deep Learning" and "Attribute based Encryption Fundamental and Its Application". Vice Dean Zhu systematically elaborated on adversarial attacks and defense, as well as their various stages, from the perspective of network security. Afterwards, Assistant Professors Feng Xia, Liu Chi, Cui Sanshuai, and Zhong Zhen also gave speeches and reports respectively. The atmosphere was lively on site, and teachers who were unable to attend actively participated online. 

 

In the second research workshop, Dean Zhou Wanlei pointed out the achievements of the faculty in the field of artificial intelligence medicine, especially the important progress and innovative breakthroughs made by Vice Dean Liu Wenjian and his team in the field of medical image intelligent diagnosis with partners, fully demonstrating the college's research strength in interdisciplinary fields. Subsequently, Vice Dean Liu gave a report on the application of deep learning in lung cancer imaging and pathological images; Professor Gu Jia gave a report on "Multimodal Fusion and Medical Artificial Intelligence Applications", while sharing his fruitful research results and experience in applying for scientific research projects. Afterwards, Associate Professor Duan Junwei, Assistant Professor Wu Gengshen, Assistant Professor Zhang Qi, and Assistant Professor Jing Fengshi also gave speeches and reports respectively. The scene also attracted many students to actively participate and ask questions. 

 

In the third research workshop, Dean Zhou Wanlei gave a promising opening speech on the theme of "Data Science Theory and Algorithms". This event is divided into morning and afternoon sessions, presided over by Vice Dean Zhu Tianqing. Assistant Professors Wang Chun, Gao Wanxin, Wu Xiaofeng, Luo Yingzhe, Wei Chunglun, Wong Chi Fong, Associate Professor Chu Chiawei and Professor Sun Xin delivered speeches in sequence. 

 

The three research workshops of this academic year have been successfully concluded, and with the active participation of the college teachers, profound and interesting thinking collisions have been carried out. Vice Dean Zhu summarized that he hopes teachers can gain more inspiration from sharing and produce more high-quality papers. The Future Academy will continue to organize such workshops, giving every teacher the opportunity to share their research, find suitable collaborators, and take research work to the next level!
