RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Research Interests: Machine Learning (e.g., Deep Learning and Transfer Learning), Evolutionary Optimization (e.g. Differential Evolution and Particle Swarm Optimization), Image Processing (e.g., Remote Sensing Image Processing and Automatic Optical Inspection), GPU Computing, Services Computing (e.g., Service Composition), Mobile and Pervasive Computing, etc.

My current research focuses on Collaborative Learning and Optimization, i.e., how to synergize machine learning and intelligent optimization techniques to resolve challenging problems in which learning and optimization are involved as indispensable and interwoven tasks.
