报告题目：Generative and Discriminative Facets of Granular Data

内容简介：Concepts constitute a concise manifestation of key features of data. As being built at the higher level of abstraction than the data themselves, they capture the essence of the data and usually emerge in the form of information granules. Data descriptors-information granules characterize data in a concise way and are further used as functional building blocks (modules) of classifiers or predictors.

Generative and discriminative aspects of information granules and information granularity deserve detailed investigations. Generative aspects of information granule are concerned about a representation of data by a collection of information granules. Discriminative aspects of granules deal with their abilities to realize mappings of classification (discrete) or predictive (continuous) character.

The systematic process of design of information granules in the presence of numeric data is elaborated on. Two phases are delineated: first a collection of numeric representative (prototypes) is formed with the aid of clustering algorithms. In the sequel, they are augmented to information granules with the help of the principle of justifiable granularity. Several variants of this principle are discussed to reflect the essence of the underlying problem and some requirements of the problem.

The discriminatory nature of information granules is illustrated in the general setting of granular classifiers and the problem of transfer learning.

Furthermore we elaborate on the general paradigm of granular modeling dwelling upon a collection of information granules and discuss a phenomenon of a successive elevation of type of information granularity emerging through refinements of numeric and granular models.

报告题目：Structural Variations in Broad Learning System and Regularized Robust Modelling

内容简介：After a very fast and efficient discriminative Broad Learning System (BLS) that takes advantage of flatted structure and incremental learning has been developed, this talk will discuss the framework of several BLS variants with their mathematical modellings are given. The variations include cascade, recurrent, and broad-deep combination that cover existing deep-wide/broad-wide structures. In addition, regularized robust modeling in BLS will be discussed. From the experimental results, the BLS and its variations outperforms several exist learning algorithms on regression performance over function approximation, time series prediction, face recognition, and data modelling.
