Profile:

Liu Wenyin received his B.Engg. and M.Engg. degrees in Computer Science from the Tsinghua University, Beijing in 1988 and 1992 respectively, and his D.Sc. in Information Management Engineering from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology in 1998. He had worked at Tsinghua as a faculty member for three years and at Microsoft Research China/Asia as a full time Researcher for another three years. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the City University of Hong Kong.

His research interests include anti-phishing, question answering, graphics recognition and document analysis, sketch understanding and sketch-based user interfaces, pattern recognition and performance evaluation, user modeling and personalization, multimedia information retrieval, personalization information management, object-process methodology, and software engineering and Web services engineering. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 publications and twelve patents pending in these areas.

Liu Wenyin played a major role in developing the Machine Drawing Understanding System (MDUS), which won First Place in the Dashed Line Recognition Contest (http://www.loria.fr/~tombre/grec95.html) held during the First IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition at Pennsylvania State University , 1995. In 1997, he won a Third Prize in the ACM/IBM First International Java Programming Contest (ACM Quest for Java'97) (http://www.acm.org/jquest/webquest1.html). In 2003, he was awarded the ICDAR Outstanding Young Researcher Award ( http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/~liuwy/icdar-award.jpg )by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) for his significant impact in the research domain of graphics recognition, engineering drawings recognition, and performance evaluation . He had co-chaired the fourth International Contest on Arc Segmentation held during the fourth IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition, Kingston, Canada, in September 2001, and chaired the fifth International Contest on Arc Segmentation held during the fifth IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition, Barcelona, Spain, in July 2003, and the sixth International Contest on Arc Segmentation held during the sixth IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition, Hong Kong, in August 2005. He has organized the sixth IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition, Hong Kong, in August 2005. He is a guest professor of University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China and a visiting professor of School of Software, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He is a senior member of IEEE, a member of IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Education Society, and ACM.
