计算机学院宣（文 任师锋 图 刘乾坤和杨璐）：2016年11月21日上午，应创新信息产业研究中心林浚玮老师邀请，澳大利亚南昆士兰大学张吉教授(Professor Ji Zhang )于教室A415为我校师生做了《Distributed Outlier Detection from Large Datasets》的学术讲座。

       在这次讲座中，张吉教授首先以南昆士兰大学的历史和学校的优美风景的简单介绍为开场白，随后开始介绍离群点检测的概念和以及常用算法和测量标准，然后引入大数据时代的利群点检测所面临的挑战。最后，张吉教授详细而完整的介绍了其在分布式离群点检测方面所做的成果，并详细介绍了由其研发的一个基于大规模数据集的分布式离群点检测算法，DISTROD，最后张吉教授为我们介绍了大规模数据下分布式利群点检测未来的研究方向。

       讲座结束后，张吉教授详尽的回答了学生和老师提出的学术科研和澳洲留学等问题。通过本次讲座和交流，让同学们受益匪浅。
