DrQian Zhang

Dr Qian Zhang is a Postdoc Research Fellow and a core member of the Decision Systems and e-Service Intelligent (DeSI) laboratory at the Australian for Artificial Intelligence Institute, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Technology Sydney. Her research interests include recommender systems and knowledge transfer techniques, and the current main focus is cross-domain recommender systems in massive data stream situation using fuzzy transfer learning.
• She has published one book and 19 journal and conference papers cited more than 100 times in the area of recommender systems.
• She, as a CI, has co-led and completed an industry project with Domain, one of the biggest real estate service platforms in Australia and delivered related algorithm and a recommender system prototype which increased twice the accuracy of the current recommender system operated in Domain. She is now engaging with 23Strands’ project that will deliver personalized recommendation for medical services.
• She co-supervises 2 PhD students and 4 visiting HDR students and fellows. They have all published at least one paper and have good progress.
• She is also very active in teaching three subjects and supervision with 5 research groups of undergraduate and Master students in their capstone projects. One result has been published at an international conference.
• She served as a reviewer in many leading journals and conferences for over 200 journal and conference papers: Decision Support Systems, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, Knowledge-based System, International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems, The IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, Neurocomputing, IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems, Complex & Intelligent Systems and others.
• She served as a Chair of the special session “Advanced Recommender System” in 14th International FLINS Conference on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, 2020, Cologne, Germany. She also served as PC member for other conferences such as International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Knowledge Engineering, International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, Artificial Intelligence in Education and others.
