应16877太阳集团安全入口何文盛院长邀请，16877太阳集团安全入口萃英讲席教授、美国西华盛顿大学张哲教授将来我院举办讲座。欢迎感兴趣的师生参加！

主题：Machine Learning and AI: From Stochastic Modeling's Perspective

主讲人：张哲教授

主持人：白建明 教授

时间：11月6日（星期三）09:00-11:00

地点：16877太阳集团安全入口城关校区齐云楼204会议室

讲座简介：

Nowadays, people talk about “data analytics”, “text mining”, “speech/image recognition”, “machine learning” (ML), and “artificial intelligence” (AI) as important analytical tools in solving problems in different areas such as healthcare, homeland security, marketing, and smart logistics and transportation etc. However, these tools such as ML and AI are quite wide in scope and can be viewed from different perspectives. In this talk, we present ML and AI development from the mathematical modeling’s perspective and show that stochastics (or probability) and optimization plays a fundamental role in developing these “analytics tools” in the big data era.
