The conference invited several well-known experts, including distinguished professors of the "thousand talents plan", winners of the the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, IEEE Fellow, to give invited reports, sharing the basic theoretical research of artificial intelligence and big data, the latest and practical technologies, cutting-edge development trends and so on.

Professor Jianzhong LI of Harbin Institute of Technology presented the topic of "theory and technology of data availability". In his report, he introduced the concept of "data availability" by starting from the data reliability used for artificial intelligence training and big data analysis. This paper introduces the basic concepts of data availability, discusses several key research directions of data availability, and introduces the current research progress of the team.

Professor Jianzhong LI gave a presentation on "theory and technology of data availability"

Professor Xiaoyang WANG presented an honorary certificate to professor Jianzhong LI

Professor Shaoxiang ZHANG of the Army Medical University presented the topic of "precise 3d radiotherapy planning system based on digitized Chinese human body". In his report, he introduced the construction of digital human data set, three-dimensional reconstruction of human structure and three-dimensional model of human anatomy in China with the application background of radiation therapy for tumors. Through the three-dimensional reconstruction of the structure of the tumor lesion with the model and clinical images and the irradiometric distribution based on the reconstruction results, the important role of intelligent technology in promoting accuracy and high efficacy in radiotherapy is vividly demonstrated.
