Profile
Dr Li’s experience in machine learning and pattern recognition includes statistical, geometrical methods and neural networks for feature/pattern selection and data analysis, knowledge discovery and inference. His contribution to machine learning includes the development of anomaly/novelty detection methods for safety/mission-critical systems, which have limited or no data/knowledge on rare events, and informative observation selection techniques for sensors/measurements location optimisation for problems such as effective monitoring and process control. His works have motivated other researchers to develop new AI algorithms, use them as benchmarks and adopt them in products.
Dr Li has led and carried out research projects funded by the government, charity, and industry. He collaborated on research projects with national and international companies of varying sizes. His research has been applied to solve problems in digital manufacturing, condition monitoring, financial engineering, and other real-world problems.
Dr Yuhua Li, Cardiff UniversityAs a researcher in artificial intelligence and machine learning, one of the most rapidly evolving fields, I see international conferences as catalysts for scientific progress, collaboration and societal impact. Joining the Ambassador Wales | Llysgennad Cymru Network allows me to champion Wales as a forward‑looking, globally connected destination for cutting‑edge research events. Wales offers academic excellence, a strong culture of innovation, and a welcoming environment for delegates from around the world. By bringing leading AI and data science conferences to Wales, I hope to strengthen international partnerships, showcase Welsh research on the global stage, and inspire the next generation of researchers and innovators."
