About the Project This PhD project focuses on developing a novel trust‑adaptive federated learning framework tailored for heterogeneous environments. Current AI systems suffer from rigid, pre‑defined trust models that limit their adaptability to varied security requirements. This research aims to break such rigid coupling by designing a modular, pluggable architecture that decouples trust mechanisms from federated learning algorithms.

About the Project This project aims to define and develop a Large Audio Model (LAM) framework that hierarchically models audio features to establish relationships between sound objects. Unlike traditional audio models, LAMs approach audio recognition by mimicking human perception through multi-level feature extraction and contextual understanding.

About the Project Electricity prices in renewable-dominated markets exhibit multiscale non-stationarity, regime switching, and volatility clustering, posing significant challenges for reliable forecasting. Existing approaches often prioritize point accuracy while neglecting structured uncertainty and frequency-dependent dynamics.

About the Project The main issue addressed in reinforcement learning is to establish a probability statistical model that progressively approximates the actual system based on past observations and learning of parameters, and simultaneously obtain the optimal decision algorithm under the so-far learned model. However, the state-of-the-art of reinforcement learning suffers from the disadvantage of scatteredness of various models and algorithms.

About the Project Real-world data are often complex, heterogeneous, and high-dimensional, making them difficult to interpret through conventional visualization methods. Existing approaches can reveal rich details, but they often rely on complex representations or multiple coordinated views that increase users’ cognitive load and make it difficult to form a coherent understanding.
