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).
