Keynote Speaker: Professor Kate Smith-Miles, The University of Melbourne, Australia
Topic:Instance Spaces for Objective Assessment of Algorithms and Benchmark Test Suites
Abstract:
Objective assessment of algorithm performance is notoriously difficult, with conclusions often inadvertently biased towards the chosen test instances. Rather than reporting average performance of algorithms across a set of chosen instances, we discuss a new methodology to enable the strengths and weaknesses of different algorithms to be compared across a broader generalised instance space. Initially developed for combinatorial optimisation, the methodology has recently been extended for machine learning classification, and to ask whether the UCI repository and OpenML are sufficient as benchmark test suites. Results will be presented to demonstrate: (i) how pockets of the instance space can be found where algorithm performance varies significantly from the average performance of an algorithm; (ii) how the properties of the instances can be used to predict algorithm performance on previously unseen instances with high accuracy; (iii) how the relative strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm can be visualized and measured objectively; and (iv) how new test instances can be generated to fill the instance space and offer greater insights into algorithmic power.

Talk Two
Keynote Speaker: Professor Takeaki Uno, National Institute of Informatics, Japan
Topic:New Approaches for Clustering Problems
Abstract:
Clustering Problem is one of the most fundamental problems in data mining. It is widely used in both practice and theorems, thus many researchers have engaged this problem. There ware great progress on theory and algorithms in practice, however still there are several weak points that disturb the increase of the practical efficiency. In this talk, we address two of these weak points; finding many small core clusters, and stabilization of clustering algorithms. For the former, we propose a new approach called "data polishing" that clarify the clustering structures in the data so that the ambiguities of the clusters are removed and core clusters are found very efficiently. For the latter, we propose a meta-clustering approach similar to random forest, that leads stable clustering for, in principle, any kind of clustering algorithm.
Biography:
Takeaki Uno received his PhD degree (Doctor of Science) from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan in 1998. He was an assistant professor in Department of Industrial and Management Science in Tokyo Institute of Technology from 1998 to 2001, moved to National Institute of Informatics Japan from 2001, and now is a professor. His research topic is discrete algorithms, especially enumeration algorithms, algorithms on graph classes, and data mining algorithms, including polynomial time algorithms, hardness proof, and also practical algorithms and efficient implementations. His pattern mining algorithm was awarded at a frequent pattern mining competition (FIMI2004), and similarity search algorithm was awarded at PAKDD2008. He recently has studied on data mining, especially clustering algorithm from a meta practical viewpoints different from the others. This research is supported by Japanese big grant CREST. He got Young Scientists' Prize of The Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan, 2010.
 
Talk Three
Keynote Speaker: Associate Professor Girija Chetty , University of Canberra, Australia
Topic:
Multimodal Medical Image and Data Analytics Based on Machine Learning Techniques
Abstract:
Traditional approaches in biology generally look at only a few aspects of an organism at a time and try to analyse diseases, by molecularly dissecting them, and studying them part by part with the expectation, that the sum of knowledge of parts can explaining the underlying cause of disease. Seldom has this been a successful strategy to understand the causes and cures for complex diseases. Major advances in machine learning, artificial intelligence and data engineering are beginning to have an impact on how to uncover the complex interactions between large data and information collected in medical domain, particularly in medical and radiological image analytics areas, involving multiple data sources and imaging modalities. In this presentation, I will show examples of how machine learning and deep learning, has led to major improvements in automated medical data analytics fields, using large collections of medical data and multiple modality imaging data sources, especially for computer aided diagnosis of disease.
Biography:
Dr. Girija Chetty has a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from India, and PhD in Information Sciences and Engineering from Australia. She has more than 35 years of experience in Industry, Research and Teaching from Universities and Research and Development Organizations from India and Australia and has held several leadership positions including Head of Software Engineering and Computer Science, and Course Director for Master of Computing (Mainframe) Course.

Talk Four
Keynote Speaker: Professor Ivan Tanev, Doshisha University, Japan
Topic:
On the Evolution of Simple Agents that Model Small-size Robots
Abstract:
I will revisit the predator-prey pursuit problem – using very simple predator agents. The agents, and the problem are intended to model the emerging micro- and nano-robots and their application in future manufacturing and biomedicine. These agents are morphologically simple – they feature a single line-of-sight sensor and a simple control of their two thrusters. The agents are behaviorally simple as well – their decision-making involves no computing, but rather – a direct mapping of the few perceived environmental states into the corresponding pairs of thrust values. Also, I would elaborate on how we apply genetic algorithms to evolve such a mapping that results in the successful behavior of the team of these predator agents. To enhance the generality of the evolved behavior, we propose an asymmetric morphology of the agents – an angular offset of their sensor. I will present the experimental results – both (i) on evolution of behaviour of the agents featuring a fixed sensory offset, and (ii) on coevolution of the behaviour and the sensory offset – verifying that the sensory offset yields an efficient and consistent evolution of successful behaviors of the agents. Finally, I will discuss the emergent behavioural traits of the evolved successful team of predator agents and will draw an analogy with the observed hunting behaviour of animals in nature.

Special Session: Relationality Design and Relationality-oriented Systems
This special session focuses on the relationality design and relationality-oriented systems, where human, ‘Mono’ and ‘Koto’ are interdependent and function together, and relationships among them enable to dynamically change its functionality and behavior. The concept of relationality here denotes interactions through which two entities mutually influence each other, linkage over time and space, and context as a result of accumulated interactions and linkage. ‘Mono’ in Japanese denotes tangible and physically perceived thing/entity, while ‘Koto’ denotes intangible and cognitively conceived thing/entity. The aims of relationality design and relationality-oriented systems are to devise methodologies to create and facilitate such systems, and to pursue social information infrastructure where people can feel mental affluence and linkage with other people. Especially we focus on complex systems with emergent mechanisms. In other words, we are aiming at understanding the significance and functions of such complex systems from a viewpoint of relationality.
