Title: Yuhao Xiao: Innovating in Illegal Fishing Enforcement

Introduction

Yuhao Xiao is an inventor based in Wuhan, China, whose work includes a patent for applying data analysis and machine learning to decisions about illegal fishing events. He is associated with Wuhan University of Technology.

Latest Patents

Xiao’s listed patent, “Method and Apparatus for Penalty Prediction and Disposal Decision of Illegal Fishing Events,” describes a system for supporting consistent and efficient enforcement. It compares a new fishing event with historical cases by converting case information into sentence vectors and calculating cosine similarity. A penalty prediction model, trained on historical data and refined through subtree pruning with a cross-validation-determined threshold, estimates an appropriate penalty. The system then uses the case similarity and predicted amount to issue graded control instructions, ranging from warnings to disabling non-essential shipboard equipment or dispatching law enforcement vessels. Xiao is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects an approach that combines historical case retrieval, predictive modeling, and automated decision support. Its proposed purpose is to help make responses to illegal fishing more systematic and efficient.

Collaborations

Xiao’s listed coworkers include Hongchu Yu and Chen Chen. His association with Wuhan University of Technology connects his work to an academic and research environment.

Conclusion

Yuhao Xiao’s patent applies data-driven methods to illegal fishing enforcement, combining case similarity and penalty prediction to support graded responses.
