During the presentation, Hong Yiguang introduced his team's theoretical achievements in perception, evolution, learning, decision-making, and control, as well as their application achievements in unmanned systems, smart grids, biomedicine, quantum networks, and social networks, from three aspects: nonlinearity, randomness, and multi-intelligent agent. He encouraged everyone to pay attention to a multi-disciplinary intersection in scientific research, explore and raise questions, build a research system, establish lofty ideals. He had an in-depth interactive exchanges with participating teachers and students on issues related to research in complexity.
