Title: IoT & big model as a service via cloud computing and federated learning Abstract: Based on cloud computing and blockchained federated learning, we establish an interactive technical and business model for internet of things (IoT) supported with big model. The purpose to study this model is to conduct interactive decision policy computing dynamically and to meet the targets in terms of both technical quality and financial performance. We will focus on the design and analysis of an optimal policy computing algorithm for smart contracts within the blockchain. Inside the system, each order associated with a demand may simultaneously require multiple service items from different suppliers and the corresponding arrival rate may depend on blockchain history data represented by a long-range dependent stochastic process. The optimality of the computed dynamic policy on maximizing the expected infinite-horizon discounted profit is proved concerning both demand and supply rate controls with dynamic pricing and sequential packaging scheduling in an integrated fashion. Our policy is a pathwise oriented one and can be easily implemented online. The effectiveness of our optimal policy is supported by simulation comparisons. |

Title: Credible Federated Intelligence with Self-Learning Abstract: Federated learning can collaboratively train AI models while protecting data privacy. In practical industry environment, Non-IID characteristics of data affect the effectiveness of federated learning. And also, security attacks may course serious problems. Therefore, credible federated intelligence is necessary. In this talk, a reinforcement learning based federated learning, and a hypernetwork based Federated Self-Learning (CFSL) will be discussed, where credible, personalized federated self-learning for Non-IID environment will be evaluted to show the effectiveness of credible federated intelligence. |

Title: Security and Privacy of Voice Recognition Systems Abstract: Voice recognition has been widely used in human-computer interaction and identity recognition in recent years. Threats to voice recognition systems may threaten financial interests and privacy of users. In this talk, we will introduce various attacks against voice recognition systems and corresponding countermeasures. We will discuss the root cause of failures of voice recognition systems. We will further explore the potential defenses against these attacks, and discuss future research directions on strengthening voice recognition systems. |

His research interests focus on vast areas of performance tuning, optimization, and analysis of data and systems. Abbasi published numerous research papers in well-reputed impact factor journals and hosted several special issues on topics of his research interests. He is a member of the ACM. Title: Resource Management in Internet of Things (IoT) Abstract: With the recent growth in the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm, there is a lot research going on about managing smart devices for efficient data processing. However, the issue arises in organizing and enabling these devices to work in a coherent manner. This makes the task of resource management extremely important in such a paradigm. Improper utilization of the IoT resources degrades the IoT services quality. Therefore, we use cloud computing techniques for the rescue. This helps in managing the resources effectively. With the emergence of relatively newer cloud-based technologies such as edge and fog computing, resource management in the IoT has become far more effective. |
