Biography
Dacheng Tao received the B.Eng. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), the MPhil degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), and the PhD degree from the University of London (Lon). Currently, he is a Nanyang Assistant Professor with the School of Computer Engineering in the Nanyang Technological University, a Visiting Professor in Xi Dian University, a Guest Professor in Wu Han University, and a Visiting Research Fellow at Birkbeck in Lon. His research is mainly on applying statistics and mathematics for data analysis problems in data mining, computer vision, machine learning, multimedia, and visual surveillance. He has published more 90 scientific papers including IEEE TPAMI, TKDE, TIP, TMM, TCSVT, TSMC, CVPR, ECCV, ICDM; ACM TKDD, Multimedia, KDD etc., with one best paper runner up award. Previously he gained several Meritorious Awards from the International Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling, which is the highest level mathematical modeling contest in the world, organized by COMAP. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, Neurocomputing (Elsevier) and the Official Journal of the International Association for Statistical Computing -- Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (Elsevier). He has authored/edited six books and eight special issues, including CVIU, PR, PRL, SP, and Neurocomputing. He has (co-)chaired for special sessions, invited sessions, workshops, and conferences. He has served with more than 50 major international conferences including CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICDM, KDD, and Multimedia, and more than 15 top international journals including TPAMI, TKDE, TOIS, TIP, TCSVT, TMM, TIFS, TSMC-B, Computer Vision and Image Understanding (CVIU), and Information Science. He is a member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Signal Processing Society, IEEE SMC Society, and IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Cognitive Computing.
