About me

Profile

Yiu-ming Cheung received Ph.D. degree from Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2000. He joined the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) in 2001, and then became an Associate Professor in 2005. He is currently the senior member of IEEE and ACM, and the Associate Director of Institute of Computational and Theoretical Studies in HKBU.

His current research interests include Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Image Processing, and Watermarking. He is the founding Chairman of IEEE (Hong Kong) Computational Intelligence Chapter. He has taken the key positions (e.g., Organizing Committee Chair, Programme Committee Chair, Financial Chair etc.) in several major international conferences, including The 2006 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'2006) and The 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'2006). Currently, he is the Associate Editor of Knowledge and Information Systems (KAIS), as well as the Guest Co-editor and Editorial Board member of the several international journals.

International Software Competition

Yiu-ming Cheung and his partner proposed a novel approach and developed a software accordingly to participate in the worldwide International Nonlinear Financial Forecasting Competition (INFFC), held in USA in 1995. In this competition, all participated software were tested using real-life financial data, and evaluated by more than 12 major performance evaluation indices. The perforamnce of their developed software is at either first-place or second place under the measurement of these major indices. The detailed competition results, including the performance assessment of their software by a set of indices, are both published in the Proceedings of the First INFFC, edited by Randall B. Caldwell, Finance & Technology Publishing, 1997.
