Speech Title: Smart Energy Harvesting and Traffic Flow Prediction Methodology for Plug-In Electric Vehicles

Abstract

In order to maintain the reliability and transparency of power distribution to consumers, smart grids (SGs) are envisioned to become one of the leading technologies while the use of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) has increased exponentially. However, due to indeterminate demands for the use of resources of SGs, there may be a performance bottleneck at some points in SGs. An intelligent infrastructural support for PEVs is thus required so that the PEVs can perform energy trading from the SG control center. The energy can be generated from various conventional and nonconventional sources. Here, we present an intelligent energy harvesting and traffic flow forecasting for PEVs in a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) environment. In the proposed game, vehicles are assumed as the players of the game such that learning components are assumed to be deployed on these vehicles having cooperation with intermediate relay nodes. The choice of the relay nodes is completed using a Naive Bayes classifier having input parameters as the current payoff of the players in the game. The Payoff Value (PV) is given to the players using the link quality and mobility pattern. The proposed scheme is evaluated using the performance metrics of probability of data delivery, delay incurred, operational cost, and energy gap. The results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed coalition game in a V2G environment.

Speech Title: Energy-Efficient 3D Vehicular Crowdsourcing for Disaster Response by Distributed Deep Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

Fast and efficient access to environmental and life data is key to the successful disaster response. Vehicular crowdsourcing (VC) by a group of unmanned vehicles (UVs) like drones and unmanned ground vehicles to collect these data from Point-of-Interests (PoIs) e.g., possible survivor spots and fire site, provides an efficient way to assist disaster rescue. In this paper, we explicitly consider to navigate a group of UVs in a 3-dimensional (3D) disaster work zone to maximize the amount of collected data, geographical fairness, energy efficiency, while minimizing data dropout due to limited transmission rate. We propose DRL-DisasterVC(3D), a distributed deep reinforcement learning framework, with a repetitive experience replay (RER) to improve learning efficiency, and a clipped target network to increase learning stability. We also use a 3D convolutional neural network (3D CNN) with multi-head-relational attention (MHRA) for spatial modeling, and add auxiliary pixel control (PC) for spatial exploration. We designed a novel disaster response simulator, called “DisasterSim”, and conduct extensive experiments to show that DRL-DisasterVC(3D) outperforms all five baselines in terms of energy efficiency when varying the numbers of UVs, PoIs and SNR threshold. This work was published and awarded the Best Paper Runner-up Award for ACM SigKDD 2021 Applied Data Science Track.

Speech Title: Towards uncertainty in learning and modelling

Abstract

There are many questions to answer in image interpretation and understanding. Uncertainty in image analysis needs strong and powerful modelling tools to describe the objects in the images. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a very important role in the design of a robust tool for image representation. Using some examples from his own work on uncertainty analysis, Prof. Zhou will explore how AI can stimulate new concepts or development of dealing with complicated problems and lead us to novel adventures through these applications.
