Title: AI-FML Robot and Human Co-Learning for Future Educational Applications
Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering
National University of Tainan, Taiwan
Talk Abstract：
The currently observed developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its influence on different types of industry mean that human-robot cooperation is of a special importance. Various types of robots have been applied to the so-called field of Edutainment, i.e., the field that combines education with entertainment. This talk introduces a novel fuzzy-based system for a human-robot cooperative Edutainment. We propose an AI-FML robotic agent for student learning behavior ontology construction which can be applied in English speaking and listening domain. The AI-FML robotic agent with the ontology contains the perception intelligence, computational intelligence, and cognition intelligence for analyzing student learning behavior. In addition, there are three intelligent agents, including a perception agent, a computational agent, and a cognition agent in the AI-FML robotic agent. We deploy the perception agent and the cognition agent on the robot Kebbi Air. Moreover, the computational agent with the Deep Neural Network (DNN) model is performed in the cloud and can communicate with the perception agent and cognition agent via the Internet. The proposed AI-FML robotic agent is applied in Taiwan and tested in Japan. In the future, we hope the AI-FML Robot and Human Co-Learning will solve such an existing problem in the classroom that the high-performing students feel the learning contents are too simple to motivate their learning or the low-performing students are unable to keep up with the learning progress to choose to give up learning.

Chang-Shing Lee is currently a Professor with the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National University of Tainan (NUTN), Taiwan. He was the Director of Computer Center from February 2006 to July 2011, and Dean of Research and Development Office from January 2011 to July 2015. He also co-organized TANET 2010 (General Co-Chair) and FUZZ-IEEE 2011(Program Chair) during his Director of Computer Center term. He handled the university assessment affairs of NUTN in 2011 and assisted Ministry of Education (MOE, Taiwan) to deal with the gender equality event and state compensation of The Affiliated School for Students with Hearing Impairments of National University of Tainan (2013/10-2015/1) to implement University Social Responsibility (USR) during his Dean of RD Office term. Since Sept. 2007, he has assisted MOE to establish the platform of remedial instruction for students from elementary schools and junior high schools. In 2017, he utilized the resources of Taiwan's academic institutes and research institutes to co-invite Facebook AI Research (FAIR) Director Yann LeCun to visit Taiwan and to give public speeches in Taiwan. It is hoped to speed up Taiwan's AI industrial development and real-world applications.
His current research interests include artificial intelligence, adaptive assessment and self-learning, intelligent agent, ontology applications, Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), fuzzy theory and applications, and machine learning. He also holds several patents on Fuzzy Markup Language (FML), ontology engineering, document classification, image filtering, and healthcare. He was awarded Certificate of Appreciation for outstanding contributions to the development of IEEE Standard 1855TM-2016 (IEEE Standard for Fuzzy Markup Language). In addition, he was awarded Certificates of contributions to Human and Smart Machine Co-Learning and contributions to FML-based Machine Learning Competition for Human Prediction and Applications on Game of Go awarded by IEEE SMC 2017 and FUZZ-IEEE 2017, respectively. He was a keynote speaker of Intelligent Agents Symposium of IEEE SSCI 2017 (Hawaii).
He is IEEE CIS Content Curation Subcommittee Chair and was IEEE CIS Summer Schools Subcommittee Chair in 2018 and 2019. He was IEEE CIS Tainan Chapter Chair (2015/8-2017/7), IEEE CIS Emergent Technologies Technical Committee (ETTC) Chair from 2009 to 2010, and ETTC Vice-Chair in 2008. He is also an Associate Editor or Editor Board Member of International Journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games (IEEE TCIAIG), Applied Intelligence, Soft Computing, Journal of Information Science and Engineering (JISE), and Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics (JACIII). According to Google Scholar, Prof. Lee has published over 150 papers and his papers' cited number on Google Scholar is over 3400. His h-index and i10-index are 28 and 61, respectively. Prof. Lee was awarded the outstanding achievement in Information and Computer Education & Taiwan Academic Network (TANet) by Ministry of Education of Taiwan in 2009 and the excellent or good researcher by National University of Tainan from 2010 to 2016. He is a senior member of the IEEE CIS and a member of the Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence (TAAI).
