Welcome Message from the Conference Organizers
The 2020 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference On Web Intelligence And Intelligent Agent Technology(WI-IAT '20), 14-17 December 2020, Melbourne, Australia

The 2020 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent
Technology (WI-IAT ’20) provides a premier international forum to bring together researchers andpractitioners from diverse fields for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange anddissemination of innovative and practical development experiences on Web intelligence and intelligent agent
technology research and applications.
The first international joint conference of Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT ’01)
was held in Maebashi, Japan, 2001. Then, it followed by WI-IAT ’03 in Halifax, Canada, WI-IAT ’04 in
Beijing, China, WI-IAT ’05 in Compiegne, France, WI- IAT ’06 in Hong Kong, WI-IAT ’07 in Silicon
Valley, USA, WI-IAT ’08 in Sydney, Australia, WI-IAT ’09 in Milano, Italy, WI-IAT ’10 in Toronto,
Canada, WI-IAT ’11 in Lyon, France, WI-IAT ’12 in Macau, China, WI-IAT ’13 in Atlanta, USA,
WI-IAT ’14 in Warsaw, Poland, and WI-IAT ’15 in Singapore. The goal of WI-IAT conferences is toprovide a global forum for scientists, engineers and educators to present the latest WI- IAT technologies,
discuss how to develop future intelligent systems for complex applications. After these years, in 2016,
WI-IAT conferences have been merged as one brand (WI ’16 in Omaha, USA, WI ’17 in Leipzig, Germany,
WI ’18 in Santiago de Chile, and WI ’19 in Thessaloniki, Greece) by redefining and vitalizing the WI aims
and topics. In 2020, the classic brand of WI-IAT will be resumed, in recognition of the strong connection of
Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. The conference is thus, rebranded as WI-IAT ’20.
Web has evolved as an omnipresent system which highly impacts science, education, industry and everyday
life. Web is now a vast data production and consumption platform at which threads of data evolve frommultiple devices, by different human interactions, over worldwide locations under divergent distributed
settings. Such a dynamic complex system demands adaptive intelligent solutions, which will advanceknowledge, human interactions and innovation. Web intelligence is now a cutting edge area which must
address all open issues towards deepening the understanding of all Web’s entities, phenomena, anddevelopments.
Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT) aims to achieve a multi-disciplinary balance
between research advances in theories and methods usually associated with collective intelligence, data
science, human-centric computing, knowledge management, network science, autonomous agents andmulti-agent systems. It is committed to addressing research that both deepen the understanding ofcomputational, logical, cognitive, physical, and social foundations of the future Web, and enable thedevelopment and application of intelligent technologies. WI-IAT ’20 provides a premier forum and featureshigh-quality, original research papers and real-world applications in all theoretical and technology areas thatmake up the field of Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. WI-IAT ’20 welcomes research,
application as well as Industry/Demo-Track paper submissions. Tutorial, Workshop and Special-Session
proposals and papers are also welcome. WI-IAT ’20 in Melbourne is officially sponsored by IEEE
Computer Society Technical Committee on Intelligent Informatics (TCII), Web Intelligence Consortium
2

(WIC), ACM-SIGAI, Swinburne University of Technology, Deakin University, and technically sponsoredby University of Melbourne.
WI-IAT ’20 will provide a broad forum that academia, professionals and industry people can exchange theirideas, findings and strategies in utilizing the power of human brains and man-made networks to create abetter world. More specifically, the fields of how intelligence is impacting the Web of People, the Web ofData, the Web of Things, the Web of Trust, the Web of Agents, and emerging Web in health and smart
living in the 5G Era. Therefore, The theme for the WI-IAT ’20 is "Web Intelligence = AI in the Connected
World"

Title: Artificial Intelligence for Medical Datamining and Decision Support
Abstract: The talk will start with a brief general introduction to Artifical Intelligence, inparticualr the areas andmethods that are relevant to medical dataming and decisions support.
Using some work published in hihgly reagrded journals, I wll then highlight some of thespecific difficultes when undertaing datamining work in the medical area, such asimbalanced data sets, imprecise expert opinions, the need to form cohorts and control forcofounding and the difficulty to validate results. Finally, I will then show some current
research that addresses these difficulties using state-of-the art algortihms and methodologies.

Title: Artificial intelligence for patterns discovery in bioinformatics
Abstract: Solving modern biomedical problems, especially those involving genome data,requires advanced computational and analytical methods. The huge quantities of data andescalating demands of modern biomedical research increasingly require the sophisticationand power of computational techniques for their pattern discovery. In this talk, I will
demonstrate to use artificial intelligence techniques for pattern mining in bioinformatics
applications.

Title: Synergetic Interplay between Artificial Intelligence and Complex Networks
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an enabling intelligent systems technology is playing
a more and more important role in today’s industry and society. Complex Networks, on theother hand, represent characteristics of many large-scale real-world network systems. The
recent advances in AI have provided a powerful platform technology to solve complex
problems, while CN presents an alternative way to make problem-solving simpler and faster.
In this talk, we will first discuss recent developments in both AI and CN, and then examine
emerging issues associated with synergetic interplay between them to bring out the best ofboth fields. We will also touch on potential new thinking paradigms beyond AI to deal withcomplex problems arising from these systems, speculating innovative methodologies
inspired by the Nature for the future. Particular attention will be given to the modelling,
control and optimisation issues in large-scale industrial engineering systems such as smart
grids. Several real-world industrial problems including some of our own research work will
be used as case studies.

Title: The Quest for Privacy-Preserving AI
Abstract: As AI is increasingly called upon for decisions with significant impact on our lives,
it needs to access information that we would like to keep private. While this is often a sourceof privacy leaks, careful design also allows privacy guarantees that were not available before
using AI. I will talk about the state of the art and the possibilities they offer to improve our
privacy, both in problem-solving and machine learning.

Title: COVID-19 – Lessons learnt from COVID-19 and the new normal as I see it
Abstract: Indeed, pandemics are silent killers. As one author described it, these viruses are
the tiniest and primitive creatures, invisible to the naked eye form of life, which have theworld under his control. Humans no longer are the masters of the world. The virus has theworld in his grip and we all struggle to survive.
However, plagues, major outbreaks and pandemics are of all times and probably have killed
more people than all previous wars together. We often remember wars, not pandemics.
Hence, we have forgotten to be prepared for pandemics; governments lack to have a plan
ready to be prepared for the next epidemic. We now see that the US, India, Brazil, Russia
and Argentina have topped the 1 million mark of positive cases, with many other countries
following soon in their steps. And these figures are for sure an underreporting of the reality,with second waves showing we’re far from controlling the virus.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Title: Nonsmooth nonconvex optimization in deep learning
Abstract: This talk will discuss new algorithms and theory for nonsmooth nonconvex
optimization in deep learning with applications in optical coherence tomography (OCT)
image analysis. We will consider the computation of generalized gradients of nonsmoothnonconvex functions in stochastic gradient algorithms and conditions for solution
consistency between problems with capped folded concave penalties and cardinality
penalties. We will review some worse-case complexity results for nonsmooth nonconvex
non-Lipschitz sparse optimization. We will show some examples of automatic retinal andchoroid layer segmentation from OCT images using deep learning.

Title: Broad Learning: A New Perspective on Mining Big Data
Abstract: In the era of big data, there are abundant of data available across many different
data sources in various formats. “Broad Learning” is a new type of learning task, which
focuses on fusing multiple large-scale information sources of diverse varieties together andcarrying out synergistic data mining tasks across these fused sources in one unified analytic.
Great challenges exist on “Broad Learning” for the effective fusion of relevant knowledge
across different data sources, which depend upon not only the relatedness of these data
sources, but also the target application problem. In this talk we examine how to fuseheterogeneous information to improve mining effectiveness over various applications,
including social network, recommendation, malware detection, etc.

Title: Deconstructing Blockchains: Concepts, Applications and Systems
Abstract: Popularly known for powering cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum,
blockchains are seen as a disruptive technology capable of impacting a wide variety of
domains, ranging from finance to governance, by offering superior security, reliability, andtransparency in a decentralized manner. In this talk, we take a comprehensive look at all
aspects related to blockchains by deconstructing blockchain systems into six layers:
Application, Modeling, Contract, System, Data, and Network. We review potential
applications which can benefit from blockchains, and we describe the associated researchchallenges. Finally, we conclude by reviewing potential research directions.
