TITLE: THE BIG IDEAS IN E-COMMERCE: A JANUSIAN VIEW

ABSTRACT: Electronic Commerce (EC) has reached the stage where its development significantly affects the well-being of nations, communities, and individuals. Over the two and a half decades of the contemporary EC, there have emerged several foundational ideas that shape this development. The keynote will name, classify, and discuss these ideas, focusing on their positive significance as well as on their dark side. The Roman god of duality, Janus, symbolizes this approach. It is argued that the time has come for a sustained research program within the EC research that would aim at limiting the potential for harm of the big ideas that have brought so much beneficence to our world. Biographical notes: Vladimir Zwass is the founding and present Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Management Information Systems, a top-ranked FT50 journal, and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Electronic Commerce, the leading scholarly e-commerce journal. Dr. Zwass is Gregory Olsen Endowed Chair and University Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Management Information Systems at Fairleigh Dickinson University, USA. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Columbia University. He is the author of six books and several book chapters, as well as a number of papers in various journals and conference proceedings. Professor Zwass has received several grants, consulted for a number of major corporations, and is a frequent speaker to national and international audiences. He is a former member of the Professional Staff of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria.

TITLE: BIG DATA ANALYTICS RESEARCH FOR SUSTAINABILITY

ABSTRACT: Defined by the United Nations, sustainability development is about development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Seventeen sustainable development goals and their re lated 169 targets were set by the United Nations in a 2015 UN Summit for the year 2030. These goals and targets compose of three core elements: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. In the past five years, big data-driven analytics has extensively penetrated both academic and practical spheres. Harnessing its power in processing large volumes of information, big data analytics techniques can, at least theoretically, help people to discover more truths and make better decisions. Big data’s potential impact on alleviating sustainability development issues hinges on several aspects. First, interactions between people, resources, ecosystems and climate can be analysed using big data gathered from society and the environment. Second, interactions between consumers, companies, suppliers and markets can be optimized for sustainable development. Third, the inter-related impacts that the business world and natural world have on each other can also be further investigated. This talk aims to give an overview of the potentials of conducting big data analytics research for sustainability.

TITLE: NORM EMERGENCE IN MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS

ABSTRACT: The study of emergence of social norms has been one of the interesting research topics in multiagent systems. We start this talk by an introduction to the notation of autonomous agents and multiagent systems in artificial intelligence, and a brief review of previous research work on norm emergence in multiagent systems. We then present our recent work on local convention phenomena, a type of interesting phenomena, which may also exist in certain multiagent systems. When agents are partitioned into comp act communities, different local conventions emerge in different communities. We also discuss the case that agents are aware of the social value of each action under prisoner's dilemma games. During decision-making, agents weigh different actions based on the social values and their individual payoffs. We model such agents' behaviours with the notion of social value orientation. An experimental study is conducted on different kinds of agent societies. It is shown that dynamic equilibrium phenomena emerge as the ultimate state in some agent societies, and agents eventually develop individualistic or altruistic orientations.

TITLE: DEEP LEARNING FOR SPATIO-TEMPORAL DATA

ABSTRACT: Deep learning (DL) have been successfully applied to various domains, such as computer vision and natural language processing. Being different with these domains, spatio-temporal data has unique spatial and temporal properties. This talk focuses on spatio-temporal data, investigating the novel deep learning technologies and introducing application-oriented deep learning methods. Also, a series of deployed applications, such as DL-based air quality forecasting, water quality prediction, and crowd flow prediction are presented in this talk.

Biographical notes: Dr. Xiuwen Yi is the Technical Leader of Intelligent Solution Division, Urban Computing Business Unit of JD Digits. Before joining JD Group, he was a visiting scholar at Pennsylvania State University. His research interests focus on urban computing. He has published over 10 research papers in refereed conferences (e.g., KDD, IJCAI) and journals (e.g., AI, TKDE). Also, he is experienced with building real-world applications of AI technology. For example, UrbanAir has been deployed with the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection to provide fine-grained air quality predictions for 300+ cities.
