Prof. Dimitrios Georgakopoulos, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

Prof. Georgakopoulos is the Director of the Key IoT Lab at the Digital Innovation Platform of Swinburne University of Technology. Before that was Research Director at CSIRO’s ICT Centre and Executive Director of the Information Engineering Laboratory, which was the largest Computer Science program in Australia.  Before CSIRO, he held research and management positions in several industrial laboratories in the US, including Telcordia Technologies (where he helped found two of Telcordia’s Research Centers in Austin, Texas, and Poznan, Poland); Microelectronics and Computer Corporation (MCC) in Austin, Texas; GTE (currently Verizon) Laboratories in Boston, Massachusetts; and Bell Communications Research in Piscataway, New Jersey. He was also a full Professor at RMIT University, and he is currently an Adjunct Prof. at the Australian National University and a CSIRO Adjunct Fellow. Prof. Georgakopoulos is an internationally known expert in IoT, process management, and data management. He has received 20+ industry and academic awards. His 170+ journal and conference publications, which include three seminal papers in the areas Service Computing, Workflow Management, Context Management for the Internet of Things (IoT), have received 12,400+ citations. Dimitrios’ research has attracted significant external research funding ($35M+) from various industry and government research funding agencies, ranging from DARPA and ARDA in the USA, to the Framework Program in the EU, to the Department of Human Services and 50+ industry partners in Australia.

Speech Title: Industry 4.0 Smart Factory: Industrial Fault Diagnosis using Deep Learning Architectures
Abstract: In industry 4.0, artificial intelligence (AI) based smart devices are widely used in various applications such as Smart-Governance, Smart-healthcare, Smart-city, Smart-home, Smart-factory, etc. Different sensors are using to collect real-time data from the environment and then the processed data are used in the AI models. Earlier AI models are mostly machine learning-based models where feature engineering plays a vital role in the diagnosis (detection and prediction). However, the features are environment dependent and the optimal features change with the environments. With the advancement of AI, deep learning models are used nowadays, where deep features are automatically extracted for diagnosis. The major concerns of deep learning architectures are computational complexity and the models are data hungry. However, limited datasets are available in industrial environments. To address, the issues, nowadays, to deploy the deep learning-based diagnosis models in portable devices different key techniques like transfer learning (cross domain, domain specific), self-supervised learning, few shot-learning, etc. are playing a vital role in the smart diagnosis in industrial environments.
