Professor Houbing Herbert Song of University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), USA
Neuro-symbolic AI for Trustworthy Systems in Intelligent Transportation Systems
This Distinguished Lecture will provide an in-depth overview of recent advances in neuro- symbolic artificial intelligence and its applications in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The presentation will discuss how the integration of neural learning and symbolic reasoning can improve the trustworthiness, explainability, robustness, safety, and security of AI-enabled transportation systems. The lecture will cover foundational concepts, state-of-the-art research developments, and real-world ITS applications, including connected and autonomous vehicles, intelligent traffic management, transportation cybersecurity, edge intelligence, and resilient cyber-physical transportation infrastructures. The speaker will also discuss emerging challenges and future research opportunities related to trustworthy and responsible AI in transportation systems.
