To interact with humans more precisely and naturally, social robots need to "perceive" human engagement intention, especially need to recognize the main interaction person in multi-person interaction scenarios. By analyzing the intensity of human engagement intention (IHEI), social robots can distinguish the intention of different persons. Most existing research in this field mainly focus on analyzing whether a person has the intention to interact with the robot while lack of analysis of IHEI.

Physical signs of patients indicate crucial evidence for diagnosing both location and nature of the disease, where there is a sequential relationship between the two tasks. Thus their joint learning can utilize intrinsic association by transferring related knowledge across relevant tasks. Choosing the right time to transfer is a critical problem for joint learning.

Objective: Using the deep learning model to realize tongue image-based disease location recognition and focus on solving two problems: 1. The ability of the general convolution network to model detailed regional tongue features is weak; 2. Ignoring the group relationship between convolution channels, which caused the high redundancy of the model.

Despite the tremendous success in computer vision, deep convolutional networks suffer from serious computation costs and redundancies. Although previous works address that by enhancing the diversities of filters, they have not considered the complementarity and the completeness of the internal convolutional structure. To respond to this problem, we propose a novel inner-imaging (InI) architecture, which allows relationships between channels to meet the above requirement.

Online healthcare consultation offers people a convenient way to consult doctors. In this paper, we aim at building a generative dialog system for Chinese healthcare consultation. As the original Seq2seq architecture tends to suffer the issue of generating low-quality responses, the multi-source Seq2seq architecture generating more informative responses is much more preferred in this task.
