Abstract: Precision medicine is being advanced greatly by IoT and AI technologies that are essential for big data capturing and mining. This talk will firstly target the big data capturing challenge with the massive-device medical IoT system, and introduce a deep reinforcement learning framework that can orchestrate the energy, computing, communication and task distribution configurations. The extension of this study to wearable data capturing will also be demonstrated. Secondly, the theories to advance AI mining capabilities will be introduced, based on a neuromorphic algorithm that enables spiking neural learning with backward adaptation of synaptic efflux, and a graph neural network algorithm that mines brain dynamics with multi-channel multi-view co-learning. This talk, through the selected studies, will give an introduction of the efforts on AIOT for precision
medicine.
