Title: Lightweight Networks for Abdominal Image Segmentation
Abstract: With the rapid development of deep learning techniques, smart medicine has become a hot spot and attract the attention of many scholars. At present, a large number of state-of-the-art deep network modes have been proposed and used for abdominal medical image segmentation. Although these networks improve accuracy of target segmentation in abdominal images, they still suffer from some challenges. Especially, popular medical image segmentation networks require a mountain of parameters, high memory usage, high computational costs, which leads to a difficulty of deploying these networks in low-resource devices. To address the issue, this report mainly introduces the design methods of lightweight networks, including our works on the design of lightweight networks for abdominal image segmentation. These lightweight networks not only effectively reduce the number of parameters and computational costs, but also improve the organ segmentation accuracy for abdominal images.
Tao Lei is currently a Professor with the School of electric Information and Artificial Intelligence, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology. He is a senior member of IEEE, CCF, and CSIG. He was selected into the Shaanxi Province High-level Talent Program in 2017. He has served at more than ten international conferences as co-chair, co-publication chair, and co-award chair. His current research interests include image processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning. He has authored and co-authored 80+ research papers including IEEE TIP, TFS, TGRS, TCDS, TRPMS, ICASSP, ICME, ICIP, and FG, where 3 papers are selected as ESI highly cited papers. The google scholar citation is 2000+.
As a project leader, he hosts the National Natural Science Foundation of China (four projects), the Outstanding Youth Fund of Shaanxi Province, and the Key Research and Development Program of Shaanxi.

Title: Privacy Preserving Problems in Big Data Publishing
Abstract: The need to efficiently store and query large scale datasets is evident in the growing number of data-intensive applications, particularly to maximize the mining of intelligence from these data (e.g., to inform decision making). However, directly releasing dataset for analysis may leak sensitive information of an individual even if the data is anonymized, as demonstrated by the re-identification attacks on the DBpedia datasets. In this talk, we introduce a novel k-decomposition algorithm and define a new information loss matrix designed for utility measurement in massively large graph datasets. We also propose a novel privacy preserving framework that can be seamlessly integrated with graph storage, anonymization, query processing, and analysis.
