Artificial Intelligence Computing Solutions and Applications
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been applied to more and more applications. Xiaochun Cheng researched both symbolic and numeric AI computing solutions and applied different AI computing solutions into several projects, including security, e-learning, system engineering, management, communication network, et al. This speech will review relevant AI computing solutions and AI applications, rational the potential and limitations of relevant AI computing solutions, hence support future more and better AI applications by integrating diverse AI computing solutions.

Blockchain-based Secure Data Sharing Platform in IoT
With the rapid development of IoT techniques, IoT networks constantly generate a large amount of data which contain valuable information for various industrial applications after collecting and analyzing. However, it is almost impossible to enable users to effectively contribute their data without privacy guarantees and incentive mechanisms. Such challenges seriously restrict the data sharing in IoT networks. To this end, based on the blockchain platform, we propose a data incentive mechanism to provide data privacy and fairness measures for users in IoT. Moreover, we give two different constructions of the proposed mechanism and analyze their performances on privacy protection and transaction efficiency.
