Topic：Towards Trustworthy Learning and Reasoning under Noisy Data

Abstract：

Trustworthy learning and reasoning are the emerging and critical topics in modern machine learning, since most real-world data are easily noisy, such as online transactions, healthcare, cyber-security, and robotics. Intuitively, trustworthy intelligent system should behave more human-like, which can learn and reason from noisy data. Therefore, in this talk, I will introduce trustworthy learning and reasoning from three human-inspired views, including reliability, robustness, and interaction. Specifically, reliability will consider uncertain cases, namely deep learning with noisy labels. Meanwhile, robustness will discuss adversarial conditions, namely deep learning with noisy (adversarial) features. Then, interaction will focus on the dynamic interaction between noisy labels and noisy features. Besides labels and features, I will discuss other noisy data, such as noisy domains, noisy demonstrations, and noisy graphs. Furthermore, I will introduce the newly established Trustworthy Machine Learning and Reasoning (TMLR) Group at Hong Kong SAR and Greater Bay Area.
