Irwin King (金國慶) is an American computer scientist and educator known for his contributions to machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and data science, making substantial contributions to both theoretical frameworks and practical applications. A professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), he has held leadership roles such as department chair (2000–2023) and Associate Dean of Engineering (2013–2019)[1]. His work has earned fellowships from the ACM, IEEE, and the International Neural Network Society[2][3][4].

Education

[edit]

King completed a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Applied Science at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1984. He pursued graduate studies at the University of Southern California (USC), earning a Master of Science (1987) and a Doctor of Philosophy (1993) in computer science. His doctoral research focused on simulating biological neural networks for motion detection, working with Michael A. Arbib, Christoph von der Malsburg, and Irving Biederman, at the University of Southern California (USC).

Career

[edit]

King joined CUHK in 1993, rising from assistant professor to chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. From 2010 to 2012, he worked at AT&T Labs Research on big data applications and later taught at the University of California, Berkeley as a visiting professor. He was also a Member of the Technical Staff at the AT&T Labs Research from 2010 to 2012 working on Big Data and data science-related projects[5].

He served as the Associate Dean (Education) of the Engineering Faculty at CUHK from August 2013 to July 2019. He also served as the Chair of the Department of Computer Science from August 2000 to July 2023. He founded CUHK’s Machine Intelligence and Social Computing Lab in 2006 and became the inaugural director of the ELearning Innovation and Technology (ELITE) Centre in 2017, promoting digital education tools.

Notable projects under his leadership include:

  • VeriGuide (2005–present): A plagiarism-detection system to uphold academic integrity.
  • KEEP (2014–present): A platform supporting MOOCs across Greater China.
