报告摘要：
The talk will present how machine learning can innovatively and effectively learn from data to support data-driven decision-making in uncertain and dynamic situations, and automating the machine learning process, including source domain selection and related data stream selection. A set of new autonomous transfer learning theories, methodologies and algorithms will be presented that can transfer knowledge learnt in more source domains to a target domain by building latent space, mapping functions and self-training to overcome tremendous uncertainties in data, learning processes and decision outputs. Another set of autonomous concept drift theories, methodologies and algorithms will be discussed about how to handle ever-changing dynamic data stream environments with unpredictable pattern drifts in multiple streams by effectively and accurately detecting concept drift in an explanatory way, indicating when, where and how concept drift occurs and reacting accordingly. These new developments enable advanced machine learning and therefore enhance data-driven prediction and decision support systems in complex and dynamic real-world environments.
