Prof. Hideyuki TAKAGI
Vice-President of the IEEE SMCS (2006–2007 and 2008–2009)
Professor Emeritus of Kyushu University, Japan
Speech Title: Human-Computer Interaction Approach for Design and Analysis
Prof. Hideyuki Takagi received the degrees of Bachelor and Master from Kyushu Institute of Design in 1979 and 1981, and the degree of Doctor of Engineering from Toyohashi University of Technology in 1991. He worked for Panasonic Central Research Laboratories in 1981 - 1995 and Kyushu Institute of Design and Kyushu University in 1995 - 2022. He retired Kyushu University in March, 2022, but worked for Kyushu University as a Research Professor in April, 2022 - March, 2023. He was a visiting researcher at Computer Science Division, University of California at Berkeley in 1991 -1993 hosted by Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh.
He is interested in computational intelligence or so-called Soft Computing, especially cooperation of these technologies and human factors. Humanized Computational Intelligence is his research keyword as well as interactive evolutionary computation in these decades. His neuro-fuzzy paper co-authored by his colleague in 1988 became the trigger of big neuro-fuzzy research booming in Japan and then in the world, and many industrial systems and consumer products designed by neuro-fuzzy technology were put on the market since then. Their basic patent covers almost all neuro-fuzzy systems.
He published over 400 papers and book chapters, was an inventor of 39 patents, and received 11 awards including the Best Paper Awards from a journal and conferences and several awards from academic societies. He was listed in the October, 2023 version of the World's Top 2% Scientists list made by Stanford University.
Prof. Takagi had been an active volunteer for academic societies and international conferences. Some of them for IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society were a Vice-President, a Board of Governors member, a Technical Committee Chair, a SMC Japan Chapter Chair, an Associate Editor of Trans. on Cybernetics, and a Lecturer of Distinguish Lecturer Program, and General Chair of several international conferences.
