Deep Learning Research and Application Centre (DLC) and Research Institute for Business (RIB) co-organised the Research Interest Sharing Session on 1 Jun 2017. Professor Francis Chin and representatives of six newly established research interest groups of RIB (including Dr Catherine Wong, Dr Kaylee Kong, Dr Eugene Wong, Dr Felix Tang, Dr Thomas Man and Dr Christopher Au Yeung) were cordially invited to share their inter-disciplinary research projects with more than 60 participants from 16 different Schools and Departments.

This sharing session not only served as a useful platform for academic and research staff to get together and share their research interests, but also offered a precious networking opportunity to facilitate research collaboration. The research interest groups of RIB, formed by staff members from different departments, gave plenteous and diverse sharing. At the long break after the sharing session, participants cherished the wonderful time to exchange research ideas in a relaxing atmosphere. Professor Francis Chin, Director of DLC, then talked about the importance of Deep Learning Technology and explained how this technology could be applied in different research areas. He invited interested colleagues to collaborate with his team in developing new research projects. To bring the sharing session to a close, Dr Felix Tang, Director of RIB, introduced RIB’s research facilities and support.
