A seminar was organized by the School of Applied Sciences and held on October 30th, 2019 at Wu Chi Building in campus. Two speakers, Dr. Luis Paquete and Dr. Jorge Henriques, from the University of Coimbra in Portugal. Both of them are associate professors of the Department of Informatics Engineering. Both researchers have numerous publications in their.

Talk #1: Multiobjective Optimization Problems

The first talk given by Dr. Paquete was titled "Algorithms for Multiobjective Optimization." Dr. Paquete presented an overview of his research on multiobjective combinatorial optimization problem (MCOP) designs. Three designs including implicit enumeration methods, scalarized methods, and metaheuristics were discussed. Assessments on the algorithmic performance were also briefly reviewed.

Talk #2: Data Science for Personal Health Applications 

The second talk was given by Dr. Henriques, and titled "Data Science for pHealth Applications: Opportunities and Challenges." Dr. Henriques gave a detailed introduction on applying different machine learning techniques on a collection of personal biosignals. The collected biosignals were on ECG from more than 10,000 patients. He detailed the signal trends of heart conditions such as the arrhythmias and heart failures. Further, he discussed the procedures in signal clustering, data mining the classification, and modelling in supporting medical decisions.
