报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

In this talk, TSH shall first describe some recent research projects and ideas of his Group related to the broad topic of Image Representation. At the visual feature level (low-level), we have recently developed Hierarchical Gaussianization (HG), a patch-based location-sentive representation, which is a kind of soft version of "Bag of Words". HG hs been applied to a number of visual recognition tasks (including face recognition and face verification) with great success. At the semantic level (high-level), we are exploring the use of Ontology to help inference; i.e., to use the relationships between image/object classes/labels to increase recognition accuracy and even to come up with new paradigms of doing inference. The relationships of particular interest are: "is a subclass of", and "co-occurrence". We have developed several ways of taking advantage of these two relationships. Finally, in many web-based applications, visual data (images and video) are often embedded in "Heterogeneous Networks" (HN), which may involve Social Media. HN have a wide range of applications. To name but two: Personalized ranking and recommendation; collaborative trustworthy sensing (crowd sourcing and mining of trusted knowledge from social media).

In the second part of this talk, GJQ will expound on "mining trusted knowledge".
