Lei Xu is a
professor of Computer Science and Engineering Chinese Univ Hong Kong (CUHK)
where he first joined as a senior lecturer in 1993, became a professor in 1996
and then took the current chair professor position in 2002. He completed his
Ph.D thesis at Tsinghua Univ by the end of 1986, then joined Dept. Math, Peking
Univ in 1987 first as a postdoc and then was exceptionally promoted to
associate professor in 1988 and to a full professor in 1992. During 1989-93, he
worked at several universities in
Prof. Xu has published dozens of
jounral papers and also many papers in conference proceedings and edited books,
covering the areas of Statistical Learning and Neural Networks, Financial
Engineering, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Signal Processing, and
Artificial Intelligence. Also, he has given over 50 keynote /invited / tutorial lectures at
major international conferences on Computational Intelligence and Neural
Networks, and has been internationally known with his several well-cited
contributions on adaptive PCA and independence learning, classifier combination
and mixture model based learning, rival penalized competition, etc, as well as
his Bayesian Ying-Yang unified statistical learning system and theory. Also, he
and his colleague E.Oja's invention on Randomized Hough Transform has a widely
impact in the field of pattern recognition and computer vision too. According

Prof. Xu has served as an associate
editor for eight academic journals, especially on neurocomputing, e.g.,
including Neural Networks (1995-present) and IEEE Trans. on Neural Networks
(1994-98). Moreover, he has served as a governor on the Governing Board of International Neural Networks Society
(INNS) (2001-03), as well as the INNS award committee (2002-03) and the Fellow committee of IEEE Computational
Intelligence society (06), the chair of Computational Finance Technical
Committee of IEEE Neural Networks Society (2001-03), and a past president of
Asian-Pacific Neural Networks Assembly. He is also served as a general chair of
IEEE Intl Conf. on CIFER03, Intl Confs IDEAL98, IDEAL00, Joint-ICANN-ICONIP03
Program Committee co-chair, a program committee chair of ICONIP96 and a
honorary chair of ICONIP06, and the chairs of two NIPS Workshops, as well as
program/organizing/Advisory committee members on major world conferences on
Neural Networks, including WCNN, ICNN, IJCNN, IEEE WCCI, ICONIP, NIPS, ICANN,
IDEAL, and Intl. Conf. on Computational Finance, etc. Prof. Xu has also been
serving as a member of engineering panel, Hong Kong RGC research committee
(2001-06), a member of selection committee, Chinese NSFC/HK RGC Joint research
scheme (2002-05, 08), external expert for Chinese NSFC information science
panel (2004-06), and an nominator for the prestigious Kyoto prize (2003,2007).
Prof. Xu is a Fellow of IEEE
(2001- ), Fellow of IAPR (International Association for Pattern
Recognition) (2002-), member of European
Academy of Sciences (2002-). He has been listed in many international
biographical publications. Prof Xu has received an 1995 International Neural
Networks Society Leadership Award and several Chinese national prestigious
academic awards, including 1993 Chinese National Nature Science Award,
1988 Chinese State Education Council FOK YING TUNG Award, and the second
of the 10 winners of the 1988 BEIJING YOUNG SCIENTISTS PRIZE. Following
the 2004 winner Prof Amari and the 2005 winner Prof. Fukushima, recently Prof. Xu has received the 2006 APNNA Outstanding Achievement Award.
