Research Talk:“Design Informatics: Research and Application of Data Mining in the General Context of Design”

Abstract:Design Informatics studies the representation, perception, processing, computation, communication, storage, retrieval and reuse of information and knowledge in the general context of design. Its research and application involves various areas, such as information technology, artificial intelligence, information retrieval and natural language processing, cognitive science, social science, design and so on. In this talk, I will first introduce the concept and scope of design informatics and its rising interests in different design communities in the past few years. I will then describe some of my recent efforts on knowledge discovery and management for product design through data mining, text mining and information retrieval at large, with details on two distinct topics: 1) Discovery and management of design rationale through patent mining; 2) Mining online reviews for product design. I shall close my talk by highlighting some interesting future research directions.

Short Bio

Dr. Ying Liu is currently a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) with the Institute of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the School of Engineering in Cardiff University, UK. He obtained his bachelor and master both in Mechanical Engineering from Chongqing University, China in 1998 and 2001, and then MSc and PhD from the Innovation in Manufacturing Systems and Technology (IMST) program under the Singapore MIT Alliance (SMA) at Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore in 2002 and 2006 respectively. His research interests focus primarily on design informatics, manufacturing informatics, intelligent manufacturing, design methodology and process, product design, and ICT in design and manufacturing. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Industrial and Production Engineering (Taylor & Francis) and is on the Editorial Board of Advanced Engineering Informatics (ADVEI). He has served as Lead Guest Editor of special issues for many international journals such as Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, Advanced Engineering Informatics, AIEDAM, Information Systems Frontiers, and is the General Chair of the 3rd International Conference on Sustainable Design and Manufacturing (Apr 2016, Crete Greece).
