Title: Privacy-preserving machine learning in healthcare

Abstract: Machine learning has attracted increased attention in healthcare, including medical imaging analysis, disease management, and resource allocation, among many others. However, most data in healthcare are sensitive, making it challenging to train high-quality machine learning models without privacy leakage. This talk provides a brief overview of privacy-preserving computing techniques, discusses the main challenges, and presents some recent advances. One example of federated medical image synthesis based on deep learning is given. Finally, we conclude the talk with an outline of open challenges.

Biography: Yaochu Jin received the BSc, MSc and PhD degrees from the Electrical Engineering Department, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China in 1988, 1991 and 1996, respectively. He received the Dr.-Ing. from the Institute of Neuroinformatics, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany in 2001.

He is presently Chair Professor with the Trustworthy and General AI Lab, School of Engineering, Westlake University, Hangzhou, China.  Prior to that, he was Alexander von Humboldt Professor for Artificial Intelligence endowed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, with the Faculty of Technology, Bielefeld University, Germany from 2021 to 2023, and Surrey Distinguished Chair, Professor in Computational Intelligence, Department of Computer Science, University of Surrey, Guildford, U.K. from 2010 to 2021.  He was also “Finland Distinguished Professor” with University of Jyväskylä, Finland, and “Changjiang Distinguished Visiting Professor” with the Northeastern University, China from 2015 to 2017. His main research interests include evolutionary optimization, evolutionary machine learning, trustworthy AI, and evolutionary developmental AI.

Prof Jin is the President-Elect of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society and the Editor-in-Chief of Complex & Intelligent Systems. He was named by the Web of Science as “a Highly Cited Researcher” from 2019 to 2022 consecutively. He is a Member of Academia Europaea and Fellow of IEEE.
