Title: Some statistical reliability problems of intelligent systems

Abstract: Reliability is defined as the probability of failure-free operation for a specified period of time. With an increasing adaptation of artificial intelligence approaches, how to carry out the system level analysis to ensure the reliability of intelligent system and to minimize failure occurrences is a challenging issue. Intelligent systems rely heavily on the availability of large amount of data that may have other issues such as measurement accuracy and uncertainty. In this talk, we will discuss these issues and some possible approaches to address them will also be discussed for future research.
