The
objective of the program is to encourage close cooperation between the
industrial, government, and academic communities and the BISC program. This
collaboration includes a faster transfer and exchange of our research
results, implementation of focused research on problems of interest to
members, increased members' access to publications, students, and faculty,
and involvement in research and education through grants to support our
activities at BISC program.

 Ziheng
Huang zhiheng@eecs.berkeley.edu
Zhiheng Huang received the
B.Sc. degree in industrial equipment & control engineering and computer
science from South China University of Technology, P. R. China in 2000, and
the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in artificial intelligence from the University of
Edinburgh, U.K., in 2001 and 2006 respectively.
Zhiheng’s work was mainly
concerned with fuzzy set theory, approximate modelling, machine learning for
large data sets, rule-based model simplification, fuzzy probability, and
fuzzy interpolation. His Ph.D. thesis entitled Rule Model Simplification proposes a rule base simplification
method and a family of fuzzy interpolation methods to address two problems
existing in current fuzzy rule-base models: the curse of dimensionality problem and the sparse rule base problem. Zhiheng was a visiting research fellow
in Australian National University,
where he proposed a new classification method termed pattern trees. Pattern trees are not only capable of achiving
high accuracy rate in classification and prediction problems, but also robus
in the sense of avoiding overfitting.
Zhiheng is now a research
scholar at BISC (Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing), Univeristy of
California at Berkeley.
His research focuses on the BISC decision support system (BISC-DSS), which
assists users to make decisions in an imprecise, uncertain, partial truth,
and vague environment.

 Dongwon
Kim : dkim@eecs.berkeley.edu
Dongwon Kim is received
Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Korea
University, Seoul, Korea
in 2007. His research interests are in intelligent control systems and
robotics using soft computing methods such as fuzzy systems, neural networks,
genetic algorithms, GMDH-type algorithms. In his Ph.D. thesis, Advanced
Intelligent Computation Methods and Their Applications to Humanoid Robot
System, several soft computing algorithms are developed and applied
to controlling and modeling of humanoid robots and complex nonlinear systems.
Dr. Kim was research
professor in BK21 information technology of Korea
University, and adjunct professor
of department of electrical & electronic engineering, Anyang University, Korea. He is now editorial
advisory board of Journal of
Humanoids and program committee of several international conferences such as International Conference on
Fuzzy Theory and Technology (FT&T), Intelligent
Sensing and Information Processing, Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information
& Engineering Systems, Intelligent Systems Design and Applications. He is
also potential reviewer of IEEE Trans. SMC, International Journal of Systems
Science, and IET Control Theory
& Applications.
Dr. Kim is now a
post-doctoral research scholar at BISC (Berkeley Initiative in Soft
Computing), University
of California Berkeley.
His research focuses on the autonomous environment recognition and walking
intelligence humanoid-robot based on the neuro-fuzzy and soft computing

 Asli
Celikyilmaz, Ph.D., asli@eecs.berkeley.edu
Asli
has received M.A.Sci. (2005) and Ph.D
(2008) degrees in Industrial Engineering from University of Toronto, Canada.
Her research interests are Uncertainty Modeling with Fuzzy Functions using
soft computing algorithms such as genetic algorithms and neural networks.
During 2002-2004, she has
worked as a Systems Architect/Research Assistant in IIC at Innovations of
Foundation of University of Toronto. From 2004 until 2008, she is working as a
Research Assistant in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
at University
of Toronto. She has
numerous publications on fuzzy system modeling,
modeling uncertainty, pattern recognition, management information systems,
and decision support systems. She has co-authored a book entitled “Modeling
Uncertainty with Fuzzy Logic” (to be published).
Since 2008, Asli has been conducting research
as a postdoctoral scholar at the BISC Group at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Division
at University of California, Berkeley.
Her current research is building intelligent natural language processing
algorithms for Question/Answering system for British Telecommunications
(BT)/BISC. She is also doing research on Type-2 Fuzzy Systems which could
learn the secondary membership values dynamically from the data using soft
computing methods.
