Chang-Shing Lee (IEEE Senior Member) obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Cheng Kung University in 1998. He is currently a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at the National University of Tainan, Taiwan. Professor Lee served as the Director of the Computer Center from February 2006 to July 2011 and as the Dean of the Research and Development Office from January 2011 to July 2015. In 2009, he was honored as an "Outstanding Contributor to Information Education and Taiwan Academic Network for the 2009 academic year" by the Ministry of Education. During his tenure as the director of the Computer Center, he co-chaired the Taiwan Academic Network Conference (TANET 2010) and was the program chair of the International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2011). In 2017, he was awarded the MOST's FutureTech Breakthrough Award, and in 2023, he received the Excellent Award at the NSTC's Industry-Academia Project.
Professor Chang-Shing Lee has been actively involved in international academic research and educational outreach for many years, particularly within the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS). In 2022, he received recommendations from the United States, Canada, Taiwan, and Japan, and after review by IEEE, he was honored with the 2022 IEEE EAB Meritorious Achievement Award in Pre-University Education. His recent service tasks in IEEE international academic research and educational outreach include: (1) serving as the Chair of the IEEE CIS Education Portal Subcommittee and IEEE R10 EAC Member for 2023-2024, (2) serving as the Chair of the IEEE CIS High School Outreach Subcommittee for 2021-2022, (3) serving as the Chair of the IEEE CIS Content Curation Subcommittee in 2020, (4) serving as the Chair of the IEEE CIS Summer Schools Subcommittee for 2018-2019, (5) serving as the Chair of the IEEE CIS Tainan Chapter from August 2015 to July 2017, (6) serving as the Chair of the IEEE CIS Emergent Technologies Technical Committee (ETTC) for 2009-2010, and (7) serving as the Vice-Chair of the IEEE CIS ETTC in 2008. In 2023, he collaborated with research teams from Japan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia to win the IEEE R10 SPNIC project from 2023 to 2024. He has also served as an Associate Editor or Editorial Board Member for several international academic journals, including IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems (IEEE TFS), IEEE Transactions on Games, Quantum Machine Intelligence, Journal of Information Science and Engineering (JISE), Soft Computing, Journal of Ambient Intelligence & Humanized Computing, and International Journal of Fuzzy Systems (IJFS).
Additionally, during his tenure as the Dean of Research and Development, he managed the university affairs evaluation for the year 2011 and assisted the Ministry of Education in addressing the gender equality incident at the Tainan Special School for the Hearing Impaired (an affiliate of National University of Tainan) and related national compensation matters from October 2013 to January 2015, fulfilling the university's social responsibilities and obligations. Since September 2007, he has been assisting the Ministry of Education in establishing the online platform for the Junior High and Elementary School Partnership Project, helping disadvantaged students and schools with remedial teaching services, a commitment that has lasted for over 16 years.
Since 2009, he has pioneered academic competitions in the game of Go between computers and human brains at major IEEE international conferences in collaboration with the French INRIA team, including FUZZ-IEEE 2009 in South Korea, IEEE WCCI 2010 in Spain, IEEE SSCI 2011 in France, FUZZ-IEEE 2011 in Taiwan, IEEE WCCI 2012 in Australia, FUZZ-IEEE 2013 in India, FUZZ-IEEE 2015 in Turkey, IEEE CIG 2015 in Taiwan, IEEE WCCI 2016 in Canada, and FUZZ-IEEE 2017 in Italy. In 2017, he collaborated with Taiwan's academic community and research institutions to invite Yann LeCun, Director of Facebook AI Research (FAIR), to visit Taiwan and give a public lecture. Professor Lee has served as a Guest Editor for international journals such as IEEE TCIAIG, Applied Intelligence, Journal of Internet Technology, and IJFS. He has also served as a director/executive director of the Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence (TAAI) for many years and was the executive supervisor of the Southern Taiwan Science Park Academy-Industry Alliance from 2012 to 2014.
Professor Chang-Shing Lee's research areas include artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, collaborative learning between humans and machines, construction and application of knowledge ontologies, fuzzy theory and its applications, and machine learning. Additionally, he has received many patents related to fuzzy markup language, knowledge ontology engineering, document classification, image processing, and healthcare. Professor Lee was honored with the IEEE Standard 1855TM-2016 (IEEE Standard for Fuzzy Markup Language) Outstanding Contribution Certificate in 2016, and in 2017, he received Certificates of Contribution to FML-based Machine Learning at both FUZZ-IEEE 2017 and IEEE SMC 2017.
He has published over 230 academic papers internationally, with more than 4900 citations (according to Google Scholar in Mar. 2024), and holds an h-index/i10-index of 34/74. In terms of international academic activities, Professor Lee has served as the conference chair of TAAI 2015, co-chair of IEEE CIG 2015, program chair of FUZZ-IEEE 2011, competition chair of FUZZ-IEEE 2013, and co-chair of competitions at FUZZ-IEEE 2015, FUZZ-IEEE 2017, IEEE WCCI 2016, IEEE WCCI 2018, IEEE WCCI 2020, and FUZZ-IEEE 2023, as well as the workshop chair of IEEE CEC 2023.
