    Abstract
    AI Based Video Analytics:
    In this talk, we will present and discuss the current trends and researches in video analytics. As surveillance cameras have been widely installed worldwide, although the main purpose of those cameras is for monitoring, but the most important task is to be able to analyze video contents and extract useful information. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep learning-based computer vision techniques utilizing multi-layer neural network is drastically improving the performance of video analytics to a certain extent. Several on-going researches on deep learning-based video analytics such as image super resolution, real-time multiple face recognition system, video anomaly detection and several implementations of embedded video analytic system on FPGA and Single Board Computers will be discussed. Some use cases of utilizing video analytics will also be mentioned.

    Keynote 2: Assistant Professor Ling Chen

    Computer vision, Machine learning, Deep learning, especially their applications in the medical domain

    Biography: Dr. Ling Chen is currently an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Hospital and Health Care Administration, National Yang Ming Chao Tung University (NYCU), Taipei, Taiwan. She received her Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Queensland, Australia (2016). Prior to working at NYCU, she had four years of industry experience as a research developer in Brisbane, Australia, at a start-up company TrademarkVision, later acquired by a multi-national analytics company, Clarivate. There, she developed deep-learning (DL) models for trademark image recognition, segmentation, and feature learning in an R&D team. Dr. Chen main research interests include computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning, especially their applications in the medical decision support. Particularly, her recent research focused on cardiac images and ophthalmological data for risk analysis and progression prediction.
