Bio Sketch

Vincent S. Tseng is currently a Chair Professor at Department of Computer Science in National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). He served as the founding director for Institute of Data Science and Engineering in NCTU during 2017-2020, chair for IEEE CIS Tainan Chapter during 2013-2015 and the president of Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence during 2011-2012. He also acted as the director for Institute of Medical Informatics of National Cheng Kung University during 2008 and 2011. Dr. Tseng received his Ph.D. degree with major in computer science from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, in 1997. After that, he joined Computer Science Division of EECS Department in University of California at Berkeley as a postdoctoral research fellow during 1998-1999. He has a wide variety of research interests covering artificial intelligence, big data mining, machine learning, biomedical informatics, mobile and Web technologies, etc. He has published more than 400 research papers in referred journals and conferences as well as 15 patents (held and filed). By Google Scholar, his publications have been cited by more than 16,000 times with H-Index 68. He has been on the editorial board of a number of top journals including IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, etc. He has also served as chairs/program committee members for a number of premier international conferences related to data mining and intelligent computing, including KDD, ICDM, SDM, PAKDD, ICDE, CIKM, IJCAI, etc. In recent years, he has also been serving to oversee the architect on Big Data/AI technologies and applications for the governmental and industrial units in Taiwan. Dr. Tseng has received numerous prestigious honors/awards, including World Top 2% Scientist (since 2022), PAKDD Distinguished Service Contribution Award (2024), Pan Wen Yuan Foundation Outstanding Research Award (2023), IICM Medal of Honor (2021), Outstanding Research Award (2019 & 2015) by Ministry of Science and Technology Taiwan, 2019 ACM Distinguished Scientist Member (for Outstanding Scientific Contributions to Computing), FutureTech Award (2023, 2022 & 2018), 2018 Outstanding I.T. Elite Award, and 2014 K. T. Li Breakthrough Award. He is also a Fellow of IEEE and Distinguished Member of ACM.

In terms of the technical achievements, Dr. Tseng has advanced the area of big data mining/machine learning and interdisciplinary applications substantially at both algorithmic and system levels, with solving broad classes of challenging problems and enabling emerging applications. He has made significant contributions to the data mining and intelligent computing community in advancing the area of utility patterns mining and biomedical informatics analytics by not only creating new research lines but also innovating valuable applications. Dr. Tseng has applied the developed data mining/machine learning techniques extensively to interdisciplinary applications, especially in the field of smart medicine. Over more than 20 years, he has led his research team to conduct many important and pioneering research/industrial projects. The developed techniques, including artificial intelligence, big data analytics, machine learning and text mining, have been integrated for early detection/prediction of various kinds of diseases from heterogeneous biomedical data sources like medical images, vital signs, medical notes and genomes. These techniques and platforms have been extensively applied in practical healthcare domains through collaborations with various medical centers/institution in Taiwan, resulting many pioneering publications and practical applications in biomedical and healthcare domains. The representative work include the risk detection/prediction techniques for Diabetic Retinopathy (collaborated with Industrial Technology Research Institute), which delivered AUC higher than 98% (the highest in the world in this area). The resulted and extended technologies /systems have won a number of prestigious awards, including the National Innovation Award (2020-2023), ITRI Yearly Paper Award (2020), 2022 R&D100 Award (https://www.rdworldonline.com/2022-rd-100-award-winners/) and 2022 Edison Awards (https://edisonawards.com/winners2022.php).
