[Yi Fei, School of Computer Science] On May 12, 2019, International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2019), a top international academic conference in the field of artificial intelligence, sent a notice that the paper "Neural Network based Continuous Conditional Random Field for Fine-grained Crime Prediction" on urban crime prediction completed by Professor Yu Zhiwen's Team of School of Computer Science of the University had been accepted by the conference.IJCAI was a comprehensive conference in the field of artificial intelligence and also Class A conference recommended by the China Computer Federation (CCF). IJCAI had great influence in this field and represented the highest level and development direction in the field of artificial intelligence.The conference originated in 1969. IJCAI 2019 received 4,752 papers from all over the world and accepted 850 papers, with the acceptance rate of only 17.9%.In addition, another paper "Multi-agent Attentional Activity Recognition" completed by Professor Yu Zhiwen's Team in collaboration with the University of New South Wales, Australia, was also accepted by IJCAI 2019.

Professor Yu Zhiwen was a recipient of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and a leading talent in the National "Ten-Thousand Talents Program". In recent years, he led a team to actively explore the research directions of big data intelligence, urban computing and their intelligent application. The research results were published in top international journals and conferences such as IEEE TMC, IEEE TKDE, ACM TKDD, IJCAI, KDD, etc.Supported by public security department, Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei, the research made innovative achievements in the fields of public security, business intelligence and urban crime prediction.
