Title of the Talk: Cyber Security: Need of Today’s Life
Abstract:
Today, computers are increasingly being used for storing and retrieving information. Some of this information is of a sensitive nature requiring adequate security measures to safeguard the sensitive information. It has also brought unparalleled and potential challenges with them. Moreover, attackers keep changing their attack strategies rapidly to hide their actually identy. In addition, cyber space is considered as fifth battle-field after land, air, water and space. Therefore, strengthening the security has become a vital homeland security mission. Security Challenges is the protection of information systems, hardware, software, and information as well from theft, damages, interruption or misdirection to any of these resources.
Therefore, to protect against various attacks, security specialists need to keep concocting new schemes to control any new attacks. While protecting against naïve attacks, some type of advanced techniques should be included in the lineup of security tools or software.
Hence, in this talk, I will introduce the principles of cyber security aspects and awareness about the various tools and techniques for securing the information from variety of attacks. Moreover, I will also discuss various security solutions developed for defending against these attacks.

Present Title: State of the Art of Deep Learning Technology and its Next Generation Architecture
Abstract:
In recent years, with the development of deep learning technology, artificial intelligence has made considerable progress, and had many significant breakthroughs in this field. Even now, new deep learning technology is still emerging, constantly surpassing the most advanced machine learning and even the existing deep learning technology. In this talk, the speaker will discuss the latest development in deep learning field.
Further, most deep learning applications require a very high computational machine. To develop the application of deep learning, it is necessary to optimize the appropriate configuration of software and hardware architecture. At the same time, deep learning can effectively deal with complex AI problems, but the slow operation speed and high resource consumption have become the bottleneck of the development of deep learning technology. Therefore, this talk will also illustrate the latest software and hardware architecture for the next generation deep learning applications.

Abstract:
Intelligence is a human or system ability that autonomously transfers a piece of information into a behavior or an item of knowledge. Intelligence science studies the general form of intelligence, formal principles and properties of intelligence, as well as engineering and computational implementations. An advanced form of intelligence is embodied by autonomous systems, which encompass nondeterministic and context-dependent behaviors towards perceptive, problem-driven, goal-driven, decision-driven, and deductive intelligence.
The fundamental constraints for AI have led to systematic studies in intelligence science that leads to latest breakthroughs towards autonomous systems beyond adaptive systems constrained by deterministic conventional computing technologies. This keynote talk presents the latest development in autonomous systems underpinned by the theories of intelligence, brain, and cognitive sciences. It reveals the adaptive bottleneck of intelligent systems constrained by traditional computational intelligence theories. The theoretical findings indicate that AI may not merely mimic imperative and iterative intelligence, but also implement more flexible human intelligence according to the abstract intelligence (aI) theory. The framework of a number of novel autonomous and cognitive systems will be demonstrated encompassing cognitive robots, cognitive machine learning systems, and cognitive neural networks (CNN).
Keywords — Intelligence science, AI, abstract intelligence (aI), computational intelligence, cognitive systems, cognitive robots, brain-inspired systems, cognitive learning engine, denotational mathematics, applications
