Today, Prof. Dr. Thomas Weise presented his keynote speech Frequency Fitness Assignment [频率适应度分配] at the 2023 International Conference on Pattern Recognition, Machine Vision and Intelligent Algorithms (PRMVIA) conference. The conference took place online and was very well attended, very well organized, and had an exciting program that offered several interesting talks and workshops. The keynote focuses on Frequency Fitness Assignment (FFA), an algorithm module that can be plugged into existing optimization algorithms. FFA prevents premature convergence to local optima and makes algorithms invariant under all injective transformations of the objective function value. This interesting feature is explained in comparison to the invariance properties of the (1+1) EA, Simulated Annealing, and Genetic Algorithms. Several results of FFA are presented. The talk is also available on our website, both as slides pdf and as forty-minute video.

On 2022-09-28, I attended the Fifteenth Sino German Seminar on Applied Higher Education [15. Deutsch-Chinesisches Symposium zur Anwendungsorientierten Hochschulausbildung] [第五届中德应用型高等教育研讨会暨] combined with the Second International Seminar on Cooperation in Dual Education in the Yangtze River Delta [2. Symposium zur Internationalen Zusammenarbeit der Dualen Ausbildung der Jangtze-Delta-Region] [第二届长三角双元制教育国际合作研讨会]. This event takes place every two years in our city Hefei (e.g., this year and 2020) and every other year in the German city Osnabrück. It is co-organized by Hefei University [合肥学院] and the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück and presented as well as strongly supported by the Ministry of Education of the Chinese Province Anhui and the Ministry of Science and Culture of the German province Lower Saxony. It is always a pleasure to attend and full of exciting talks by high-level professionals in applied education, offering deep insights, inspirations, and great networking opportunities. Like in 2020, it was a hybrid event with both presence and online talks. This year, it was a two-day symposium, taking place in a beautiful lakeside location. The attendance was very high – both physically and online – with delegates from many universities, the industry, politics, as well as other education organizations.

Today, on September 26, 2022, I attended the National Day Tea Party for People from All Walks of Life [合肥市各界人士迎国庆茶话会] in the city hall of Hefei [合肥市]. Like every year, was a very nice event, attended by people with many different professions and ranks. There were religious representatives, minorities, foreign experts, business leaders, political representatives from different parties, people from many different fields ranging from elder care to car manufacturing, and so on. I am always looking forward to this event.

Cooperation Agreement Signed between Hefei University and the DHIK, a Consortium of German Universities

On June 10, 2022, Hefei University [合肥学院] and the Deutsches Hochschulkonsortium für Internationale Kooperationen (DHIK) [德国高校国际合作联合会] signed a framework cooperation contract [Kooperationsvereinbarung zwischen der Universität Hefei und dem Deutschen Hochschulkonsortium für Internationale Kooperation (DHIK)] [合肥学院和德国高校国际合作联合会合作协议].

The DHIK is a group of more than 30 universities in Germany and Switzerland with focus on internationalizing study programmes in Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences, and Technology. In China, the DHIK already cooperates with the Tongji University [同济大学] – and now also with our Hefei University. The main goal of the framework contract is to construct several joint curricula and double-degree programmes, which allow for the bi-directional exchange of students. In these programmes, German professors will teach classes in China and the Chinese students will get the chance to study for two semesters in Germany. Vice versa, German students will be able to study at our Hefei University as well.

Portrait of Dr. Pei XU.

Welcome to Dr. Pei XU

Created: 21 December 2021
  • New Team Member
  • Pei XU

The Institute of Applied Optimization warmly welcomes Dr. Pei XU [许培博士] as a new member of our team. Before joining our team, Dr. XU was a teaching assistant at Chuzhou University (CHZU) [滁州学院] from 2014 to 2017. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science and technology from Anhui University (AHU) [安徽大学] last year. His research interests include Wireless Sensor Networks and the Internet of Things. This research nicely fits to the work on wireless sensor network routing already conducted in our institute.

We are very happy that Dr. XU joined our team. We are looking forward to working and conducting exciting research together.
