Matthew Muresan is a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Waterloo’s Innovative Transportation Solutions Laboratory currently supervised by Dr. Fu. Matthew’s research is in the area of machine learning and traffic control, specifically the use of Deep Reinforcement Learning as well as applications of Big Data (e.g. Bluetooth and WiFi detections) to solve today’s transportation problems. Prior to this he completed his Master’s degree under the supervision of Dr. Fu and his Bachelor’s from the University of Toronto. He has been awarded scholarship under the NSERC PGS-D program and is a former recipient of the Ontario Graduate Scholarship. In 2017 he was awarded a Mitacs Globalink award to support an academic visit to Wuhan Institute of Technology.
Jameson Yu, a recent University of Waterloo graduate. His major was Software Engineering and he will be starting full time at Amazon in September. He enjoys developing new software and exercising in transportation area.
蒋朝哲，西南交通大学交通运输与物流学院副教授，博士生导师，加拿大滑铁卢大学土木与环境工程系研究员，ITSS-RC实验室执行主任。主持主研国际国家课题10余项，发表学术论文60余篇，SCI收录20余篇，出版著作与教材10余部。主要研究领域：交通规划与管理，交通运输系统工程，交通工程，交通大数据与人工智能，供应链金融等。
演讲内容简介：
Matthew Muresan ‘s current research aims to apply machine learning techniques such as Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) as an adaptive traffic signal control strategy. His talk discusses an application of DRL to a demonstration case in a simulation environment. An overview of the tools used, including Tensorflow, VISSIM and Python is discussed, including the results of work presented at the previous Transportation Research Board conference.
Jameson’s talk on Apache Spark is intended to give an introduction behind the start of big data. Specifically, how we solve big data problems. From this introduction we lead into Apache Spark, a framework used to tackle the mentioned issues. Demo of a Spark application will be shown during the presentation.
