HKSQ Annual General
Meeting (AGM) was held on 24th Sept 2021 after the technical seminar
with the theme “Intelligence of Everything (萬物智能)”. In Policy Address 2016, the Chief Executive of the
HKSAR has affirmed the significance of "reindustrialization" as a
potential area of economic growth for Hong Kong. In order to facilitate industrial
upgrading and transformation, digitalization and intelligence manufacturing
becomes a critical success factors for "reindustrialization". This
seminar aims to share data science, AI innovation method and intelligent
manufacturing for the digital era. The seminar was co-organized by HKSQ, ADSE
Dept., CityU and Minitab. In the
beginning, organizers and speakers took a group photo.

Dr Albert Tsang
(Former Chairman, HKSQ) was the first speaker and his topic entitled “From
Knowledge to Making Evidence-Based Decisions”. Firstly, Dr. Tsang briefed the
cause-and-effect relationships through the story on The Garden of Eden. And said the leap from data to knowledge required
a push from humans because humans evolved from processor of data to makers of
explanations.
Then Dr. Tsang
introduced three level of causation including “Seeing – Associating”, “Doing –
Intervention” and “Imagining – Counterfactuals”.
After that he briefed each causation as below.
Level 1: Seeing – Associating → Correlation and regression as present-da machine
learning system to give a “Hindsight”.
Level 2: Doing – Intervention → Analyze data obtained from controlled experiments
with strong and accurate causal models to make predictions.
Level 3: Cognitive revolution of humans giving
“Insight” and “Foresight”.
Finally, Dr. Tsang
mentioned different machine learning techniques including supervised and
unsupervised learning. Supervised learning tools included classifiers and
regression models and unsupervised learning tools included clustering, anomaly
identification and data reduction algorithms.
Lastly, Dr. Albert
Tsang briefed the case study using Minitab CART® (Classification &
Regression Trees) to predict heart disease and stated machine learning projects
in business.
Dr. Lotto Lai
(Chairman, HKSQ) was the second speaker and his presentation title named “Recent
Applications of Extension Intelligence”. My topics included Extenics, Extension
Intelligence, Extension Innovation Method and Case Studies in Mainland China
and Hong Kong.
I briefed the history
of Extenics and introduced the extension theory including basic-element theory,
extension set theory and extension logic.
And then I quoted
Prof. Cai Wen conclusion in the 17th Extenics Annual Meeting that Extenics is
the fundamental of Extension Intelligence. Extension Intelligence is a new kind
of AI which can deal with contradictions intelligently by extending and
transforming information and knowledge based on the theory and methods of
Extenics especially extension set.
After that I briefed
four cases employed extension innovation method in Mainland China including
medical device, reconstruction in Fangshan District, the interior design of
driverless car, and design of automated 3D warehouse.
Finally, I shared my
four extenics researches in Hong Kong including Extenics plus QStartupMS,
Extension Business Innovation Model, ExSS approach and QInnoMS with Extension
Innovation Methodology.
The last speaker was
Dr. KS Chin (Former Chairman, HKSQ) and his topic was “Intelligent
Manufacturing Engineering – Contributes to a Smarter World”. Firstly, Dr. Chin discussed smart world that
an increasingly urban world where the flow of people becomes more prominent and
resources become scare, it’s essential to manage everything in the best
possible way.
And then Dr. Chin briefed
the Intelligent Manufacturing that is the implementing agent of Smart Industry
and Industry 4.0.
After that he
mentioned different technologies in the intelligent manufacturing including AI,
IoT, CPS, etc. In broad sense, AI refers to systems that are with a self-aware
form and capable of performing very complex tasks that aiming to achieve the
imitation by a machine of the cognitive abilities of a human being.
Finally, Dr. Chin
introduced a new degree course named “BEng in Intelligent Manufacturing
Engineering (BEng ITME)” offered by Department of Advanced Design and Systems Engineering,
CityU. The course content involved many advanced technology for manufacturing
industry.
After the technical
seminar, HKSQ Annual General Meeting (AGM) was performed. We took a group photo online and offline
together.

Wong, Ms. Jane Wong, Dr. KS Chin, Ms. Minda Chiang, I, Dr. YC Chau, Mr. Ben
Tsang and Dr. Albert Tsang; Online: Mr. Peter Fung, Mr. Humphrey Lee and Dr.
Aaron Tong, etc.)
Firstly, I presented Chairman
Report included all activities in the last year including seminar, conference
and visit online and offline.
I also presented our
first TID funded project for startup and its schedule.
After that Ms. Angela
Wong (Hon. Treasurer, HKSQ) presented the financial report.
At the end, HKSQ exco
member had dinner together.
