Title: Towards Flexible Calibration for Machine Vision Systems
Abstract: Visual sensing is important to many engineering applications including tracking for robotics. In this talk, I will present our research in visual sensing and tracking focusing on the issues in the calibration. For robotic applications, visual sensing in 3D is often needed, but the calibration remains tedious and inflexible with traditional approach. To this end, we have investigated the relevant issues for different visual sensing systems. A flexible calibration method desires the vision system parameters to be recalibrated automatically or with less operator interference whenever the configuration of the system is changed, but practically this is often hard to achieve. Various attempts were made in our previous works to enhance the flexibility in the visual sensing calibration. I will present some them including the work on omni-directional visual sensing and tracking. Another case to present is that of gaze tracking where the issues in the parallax errors and the tedious calibration procedures are addressed with our new calibration method developed.

Title: Biomolecular Association Detection and Application Based on Biomedical Knowledge Graph Embedding
Abstract: One of the key issues in the field of biomedicine in the post-genomic era is to systematically understand and analyze the inter-molecular relationships among biomolecules. Complex life activities are undertaken by a variety of biochemical molecules, which interact with each other to maintain the normal physiological functions of the organism, and whose perturbations or disruptions will lead to malfunctions or complex diseases. Guided by the idea of reductionism, existing researches have conducted in-depth studies on the activities of single or very few kinds of molecules, but lack of global thinking on the network of multi-molecular interactions, ignoring its holistic and systematic nature. With the advancement of multi-omics technology, single-cell sequencing technology and other research methods, a large amount of biomedical big data on intermolecular correlations has been rapidly accumulated, which challenges the traditional analysis and mining methods, but also provides valuable data support for us to explore the complex biomolecular correlation networks. This report combines two artificial intelligence techniques, knowledge graph and recommender system, by learning the low-dimensional representations of various biomolecules in the knowledge graph and multimodal fusion with biomolecular attribute features, and proposes a predictive mining method of molecular association graph based on graph machine learning on different scales of molecular association graph, this study will systematically reveal and construct different scales of molecular association graphs from molecular level to biomedical system level. molecular association maps at different scales from the molecular level to the biomedical system level.
