Dr Qing Song's Retirement Home

Blogs for artificial intelligence and many of my hobbies...


About Me

I am searching for an interesting retirement life after my academic tenure. My updated interesting include, not limited to, artificial intelligence (AI), philosophy reading, birding, skiing, tennis, golf, swimming, skating, violin, curling and travelling (click the small images below for details). To set up this web home, I would like to thank my wife, Mei, for effective communication, understanding and support of my retirement life, my son, Michael for programming skill guidance at professional level, my nephew, Haoming for string music instrument knowledges, my former colleagues, students and all friends around the world for visiting my home page.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research via Philosophy Reading

I am an AI researcher for many years, however, I have never believed that it can replace human intelligence like philosophy study, for example. My AI blogs intend for people interesting to current AI trends, specifically, in machine learning, deep learning neural networks and big data.
Philosophy is best when it responds to intellectual challenges arising in other areas of thought, like artificial intelligence, physics, or other science subjects. My simple reading book is:
The Ultimate Truth (About Love & Happiness): A Handbook to Life Paperback – Jan. 1 2003 by Lester Levenson
- Man cannot make this Truth nor can he change this Truth ...
- Happiness is our inharent state. Happiness is you being you without any nagativity.
An alternative thinking pattern is: "Per aspera ad astra!"

One of the most interesting features of "morden AI tech" is the capability to transfer image styles.




Birding

One of my hobbies is wild life photography with my wife Mei, it is amazing to find out how people love citation styles in social media which may not be very similar to the concept of traditional academic citation.
Specifically designed neural networks can transfer bird photos into multi-artistic styles with different "degree" controls, i.e. photo realistic or painting looking effects.

Skiing

Bluemountain resort.

Tennis

I used to have regular tennis sessions with my partners Xiao-Dong, "Xiao-Wang" and David at the university sports center in 2010s.

Violin

Birding with Violin.

Golf

There are many excellent golf clubs around the region.

Ice Skating

This is one of my favourable winter sports of retirement life in the most effective way.

Travelling

There are many places yet to explore despite my overseas experiences over the years ...

I am now curling with my son, Michael.

This is a new learning curve.
