He is also the recipient of several awards, including the Top Citation Award from Pattern Recognition Letters, Outstanding Scholar Award from Journal of Systems and Software, and Ten Outstanding Young Men Award of Taiwan. He was elected as a Fellow of IEEE in 1998, a Fellow of IET in 2000, a Fellow of CS in 2020, and an AAIA Fellow in 2021 for his contribution in the area of information security.

 

Speech Title: "Borrowing from Nature to Conceal Information "

 

Abstract: Steganography is the science of secret message delivery using cover media. A digital image is a flexible medium used to carry a secret message because the slight modification of a cover image is hard to distinguish by human eyes. In this talk, I will introduce some novel steganographic methods based on different magic matrices. Among them, one method that uses a turtle shell magic matrix to guide cover pixels’ modification in order to imply secret data is the newest and the most interesting one. Experimental results demonstrated that this method, in comparison with previous related works, outperforms in both visual quality of the stego image and embedding capacity. In addition, I will introduce some future research issues that derived from the steganographic method based on the magic matrix.

 

 

Keynote Speaker II

Prof. Zhifu Sun

Mayo Clinic, USA

 

Dr. Zhifu Sun is a Professor and Consultant in the Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, Mayo Clinic. His research interests are to apply bioinformatics to medical research/practice, particularly in cancer etiology, molecular marker identification for outcome prediction, and personalized medicine. His major focus has been epigenomics (DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin interaction, miRNA and long non-coding RNAs) and multi-platform genomic feature integration. He has over 120 peer-reviewed publications, with many in high impact journals. He is an editorial board member for Epigenomics and an associate editor for BMC Cancer and Frontiers in Oncology.

 

Speech Title: "Deep Learning in Molecular Marker Prediction from Whole Slide Histology Image: State of Art or Hyper "

 

Abstract: The adoption of digital pathology with whole slide images (WSIs) has been revolutionizing clinical practice and research. With growing popularity of deep learning, investigators have demonstrated its great potentials to facilitate disease diagnosis and outcome predictions. One of such interests is to use WSIs to predict molecular markers (such as somatic gene mutation or gene/protein expression) which can be used to stratify patients for targeted therapy or customized management. In this talk I will highlight the current progress in the field and share our experience with PDL1 expression prediction from WSIs in non-small cell lung cancer, which can potentially bypass a separate clinical testing to select patients with anti-PDL1 inhibitor treatment.
