2015年12月3日上午，应ICES实验中心张海军老师的邀请，香港城市大学Tommy W. S. Chow教授于教室A304为我院师生做了《High dimensionality: Applications on regional English visualization and wireless sensor networks》的学术讲座。
在这次报告会中，Tommy W.S. Chow 教授首先介绍了在大数据时代，高维数据已经成为模式识别和机器学习领域所要处理的重要问题之一。随后介绍了目前一些主流的降维方法在特定场景中的应用。并且还对比介绍了深度学习（deep learning）和流行学习（manifold learning）的发展及潜在的研究方向。最后，Chow教授介绍了在无线传感网络故障诊断和英语写作方式分析两方面，对高维数据的处理和研究。
讲座结束后， Chow教授详尽回答了学生们提出的问题。
