Speaker: Mr. Poon Hoon Keng
This is an educational seminar jointly organized by Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) and NextLabs with a title “Important Content Extraction for Document Classification using Artificial Intelligence (AI)” which aims to 1) Groom and transform the students/audients into a tech-savvy workforce to support the growth of a digital economy and 2) Empower students/audients through digital means to enhance productivity and improve living standards for all. 
The talk was presented by Mr. Poon Hoon Keng from UTAR. Mr. Poon received his bachelor degree from Tunku Abdul Rahman University College in 2017. He is currently a master student at the Centre for Cyber Security, Lee Kong Chian Faculty of Engineering and Science, UTAR. His research interests include artificial intelligence and big data. 
Over the past two decades, AI has become an inseparable part of our daily lives and one of the mainstays of information technology. With the ever increasing amounts of document and text data becoming available, there is an urgent need to perform automatic content extraction for classification of document confidentiality and sensitivity, all of which have great importance to the advanced cloud storage management. 
The purpose of this seminar is to provide an in-depth knowledge on some important content extraction and document classification techniques for more advanced and secured cloud storage. This work can have significant impact in the management and security of the cloud storage and may potentially revolutionize how documents and data are currently being stored in the cloud.
