Data Mining with Computational Intelligence Wang, Lipo and Fu, Xiuju

Lipo Wang’s research interests are in computational intelligence, i.e., neural networks, evolutionary computation, and fuzzy systems, with applications to multimedia, bioinformatics, and data mining. He has published over 50 journal publications, 14 books (authored/edited), 70 conference presentations, and 7 book chapters. He holds a U.S. patent on a neural network for image sequence processing. He is an Associate Editor / Editorial Board member for 7 international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation. He is Chair of the Emergent Technologies Technical Committee, IEEE Neural Networks Society. He is also the Founding Chair of both IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Chapter Singapore and IEEE Neural Networks Chapter Singapore. Dr. Wang has been on the Governing Board of the Asia-Pacific Neural Network Assembly since 1999 and served as its President in 2002/2003. He will be Technical Program Co-Chair for the 2006 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks. He served as General Chair for 4 international conferences and as member of steering / advisory / organizing / program committees of over 60 international conferences since 1998.
