Dr. Dacheng Tao

Department of Computing

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

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 an academic staff with the Department of Computing in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, is a visiting professor in the Xi¡¯Dian University and a guest professor in the Wuhan University, and holds a visiting position at Birkbeck in Lon. His research is mainly on theory, algorithms, and systems for image classification, filtering, segmentation, and motion estimation. He has published more than 90 scientific articles extensively at IEEE TPAMI, TIP, TKDE, TMM, TCSVT, TSMC, ICIP, ICASSP, CVPR, ECCV, ICDM; ACM TKDD, Multimedia, KDD etc. with best paper award and finalists. 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 the IEEE TKDE, Neurocomputing (Elsevier) and the Official Journal of the International Association for Statistical Computing -- Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (Elsevier). He authored/edited five books and seven special issues, including CVIU, PR, PRL, SP, and Neurocomputing. He (co-)chaired special sessions, invited sessions, workshops and conferences. He served for around 60 major international conferences including ICIP, ICASSP, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICDM, KDD, and Multimedia, and around 20 top international journals including TPAMI, TIP, TOIS, TKDE, TCSVT, TMM, TIFS, TSMC-B, Computer Vision and Image Understanding (CVIU), and Information Science.
