Digital Transformation:
Technologies Shaping and Driving the New Normal
About
The International Conference on Advances in Information Technology (IAIT2023) provides a huge opportunity for researchers, PhD students, academics, and industry professionals around the world to share their knowledge and work with the research community. IAIT2023 will be the 13th in the series and organized by the School of Information Technology, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, Bangkok, Thailand. The theme for 2023 is “Digital Transformation: Technologies Shaping and Driving the New Normal”. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth and adoption of new technologies and digital products worldwide due to which organizations are focusing on emerging technologies like AI/ML, cybersecurity, data science, etc. The pandemic has shown us that in every sector ranging from healthcare, education, retail, finance to transportation; companies and organizations that have adopted digital initiatives and emerging technologies have become sustainable and kept themselves ahead of the learning curve. Therefore, in this upcoming edition of the conference we plan to focus on these digital transformation aspects and how these may impact the people and society. By incorporating a variety of related topics, IAIT2023 aims to create and promote more inter-departmental and inter-disciplinary research ideas and knowledge.

Title : Edge Intelligence and Deep Learning Applications
In the current era of digital transformation, several advances have been made in cloud computing, mobile networking and 5G/6G in Internet-of-Things. With the requirements for reduced latency, limited and intermittent connections, and strict requirements for data privacy and security, computing and intelligence is shifting from the cloud towards the edge devices where data is generated. This allows quicker decision making and empowers real-time applications such as autonomous vehicles, remote monitoring, and smart environments. In this talk, we will present an overview of edge intelligence and deep learning and their opportunities and challenges and how they can affect the future of Internet-of-Things. We will review current and emerging state of the field and various architectures to support smart applications and demonstrate some use cases.

Title : Towards Human Flourishing Using Artificial Intelligence and Digital Consciousness
We are living in a world with incredible challenges. These grand societal challenges are often
called wicked problems, those that are complex and do not have easy solutions. Specifically in
healthcare we are dealing with an aging population suffering from chronic diseases such as
cardio-vascular, diabetes, cancer, lung diseases, mental health and addiction etc. After a
devastating pandemic, people are slowly starting to find their way. But how can they flourish? In
this talk, we will tackle the human flourishing problem and using machine learning techniques,
we will find significant predictors for those who will flourish. We will further look at the design of
a mhealth app that can boost flourishing in humans. As AI advances at rapid speed, the existential
human threat is coming to the forefront. Dr. Chatterjee will discuss emerging research on how Ai
can develop “artificial consciousness” which may make AI more responsible on its own.

Title : String Grammar Fuzzy Clustering in Data Analysis
Data Analysis is a process to analyze data in terms of representing, describing, evaluating, interpreting data using statistical methods. What if the data do not come in the form of statistical representation or a vector of numbers but are in the form of syntactic data, how do we analyze those data? One of the pattern recognition research branches is the syntactic pattern recognition that is able to deal with this type of data set. Each sample in syntactic data set is normally represented as a string. The strings in the same data set can have different lengths. Also, the string does not have any mathematical meaning that we can calculated as if they are vectors of numbers. There are several syntactic pattern recognition methods. However, one of the syntactic pattern recognition methods that is used in many applications is a string grammar clustering method since it is easily to implement and is understandable to humans. In this talk, we will introduce a set of string grammar clustering algorithms developed at Computational Intelligence Research Laboratory, Chiang Mai University. We also show applications of these algorithms in several real-world problems, e.g., sign language translation system, face recognition, and health applications.

Title : Consumer Centric Internet of Things: Innovation and Future of Computing
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a unique paradigm and is shaping the revolution of computing technologies. This will accelerate innovation by creating the means for objects or machines to communicate heterogeneous types of information among themselves and collaborate with peers to provide novel services. The IoT will empower consumers with better home automation, improved healthcare, intelligent transportation solutions and many more important services. Without doubt, most of the IoT technology and applications will directly or indirectly influence consumer industries. To compete in this new reality, consumer and users must now understand how their products are controlled by IoT ecosystems, which means understanding their application design, network communication, and platform architectures as well as the emerging paradigm of big data, security and privacy. The IoT initiatives and activities worldwide are mainly concentrated on architectures and protocols for efficient interconnection of heterogeneous objects and the creation of value-added services. This talk aims to explore those issues involved technologies of IoT, their application domain as well as to pursue the state-of-the-art and future directions of IoT.

He received a Ph.D. degree in Informatics from the University of Edinburgh, UK, in 2014. Since 2005, he has been with Language and Semantic Technology Lab at National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) in Thailand. His research topics of interest include: large language models (LLMs), grammar induction, statistical parsing, natural language processing, machine learning, and formal syntax.
Currently, he is one of the leaders responsible for the OpenThaiGPT Project, which is a collaboration between NECTEC, Artificial Intelligence Association of Thailand (AIAT), and Artificial Intelligence Entrepreneur Association of Thailand (AIEAT). His role is to oversee the training operations for Thai large language models on LANTA, the high-performance computing resources at NECTEC, and the curation and cleansing of crawled textual datasets. The next milestone of the project is to enable multimodality and explainability in Thai LLMs.
Title : Transformer-based Large Language Models
Conversational agents, such as ChatGPT and Google Bard, are the revolutionary epitome of AI applications, where they offer a more natural approach to human-computer interaction via natural language. Under the hood, a user’s query is interpreted and transformed into an answer using end-to-end neural network models called ‘Large Language Model’ (LLM).
This talk explores the key aspects of these models: their architectures, training methods, and their impact on language understanding and generation. The topics include:
1. Introduction to Transformer models
2. Model interpretation and theoretical upper bounds
3. Large language models (LLMs)
4. BERT and its variants
5. Training a conversational agent
6. Advancement and future directions
7. Ethical and societal concerns
By the end of this talk, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the Transformer-based LLMs and how they are shaping the future of natural language processing and AI as a whole.
