Title: Cyanobacterial bloom prediction based on deep neural networks
Abstract: Cyanobacterial blooms are one of the most serious water pollution problems for freshwater lakes. The treatment of blooms requires a lot of material and financial resources, so an early accurate prediction of cyanobacterial blooms is a very important way to deal with the outbreak of them. But it is challenging to predict the cyanobacterial blooms due to the uncertainty and complexity of their growth process. To deal with these problems, we proposed two deep neural network-based methods. One is an improved attention-based bidirectional LSTM model for short-term cyanobacterial bloom prediction. Another one is an improved approach based on transfer learning, for cross-area cyanobacterial bloom prediction. And some experiments are carried out based on the real monitoring data in the Taihu Lake area. The results show that the proposed methods in our project have the highest prediction accuracy, compared with the other state-of-the-art deep learning methods.

Title: Deep Learning-based Path Planning for Vehicles on 3D Map
Abstract: In the traditional vehicle area, energy-based motion control technology and battery technology usually use to solve the energy-saving problem. Our research proposes a new solution from the perspective of path planning. For vehicles traveling on the complex 3D terrains, the energy consumption of up-slope is far greater than that of the flat road and down-slope. To realize this, a path with a good trade-off between the energy consumption and distance would be the expected route for electric vehicle and mining transportation. A novel multi-objective path planning method is investigated to solve this problem for EV and mining truck. The simulation experiments prove that the proposed method can generate an optimal path which saves much energy in comparison with the path provided by the distance-based method.

Title: Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Industrial Data Science
Abstract: Digital manufacturing strategies are gaining ground as manufacturers adopt big data and analytics to improve operational effectiveness, time-to-market, new product development and increase product quality and reliability. Traditional, large-volume manufacturers often have one goal in mind—reduce costs associated with making high volumes of a single item by producing as many parts as possible in the shortest amount of time. That business model works for high-volume products, particularly if automation can be deployed, but it ignores innovation and the competitive edge created by digital manufacturing. The convergence of software and flexible manufacturing makes quick-turn prototyping and low-volume, on-demand production of custom parts fast and economical. In addition, digital manufacturers capture massive amounts of data across their business from the first customer engagement, through the sales and quoting process, and throughout the manufacturing and fulfillment processes. To take full advantage of all the information, understand the complexity of a high product mix and optimize business, companies need sophisticated analytics that cross business domains.
Data science, a vast discipline encompassing expertise in sophisticated math, engineering, and computer science techniques, typically involves using advanced analytics to mine insights out of data—data that informs business decisions, accelerates growth and improves customer experiences. Much of this data originates from the digital thread that starts with a customer’s first interaction with a digital manufacturer’s website and connects front-end software to automated fulfillment. The applications of data science to digital manufacturing are limitless. Real-time understanding of operational processes enables higher throughput and rapid pivots. Analyzing shop-floor sensor data lets manufacturers make compensating tweaks when quality veers from tolerance. Customer sentiment can be graphed to customized design and production. Supply-chain forecasts and delivery decisions can be optimized down to the individual stockkeeping unit and location level. This makes digital manufacturing one of the drivers of Industry 4.0, the union of physical and digital systems through complex software algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning and the network of smart industrial devices that comprise the industrial internet of things (IIoT).
So, how will digital manufacturers use data science in the future? Machine learning will be critical as companies race to find even better ways to serve customers. Analytics and machine learning will help digital manufacturers identify what capabilities customers will value including price, lead times, quality offerings and other options. Manufacturers that use analytics will enjoy a critical edge that will lead to growing their business.

Title: Our progress on multiview clustering
Abstract: Clustering is a machine learning paradigm of dividing sample subjects into a number of groups such that subjects in the same groups are more similar to those in other groups. With advances in information acquisition technologies, samples can frequently be viewed from different angles or in different modalities, generating multiview data. Multiview clustering (MVC), that clusters subjects into subgroups using multiview data, has attracted more and more attentions. In this talk, we will disscus our progress on multiview clustering.
