Prospective of %u201cTECO Award%u201dIn the past few decades, Taiwan%u2019s investments in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry have primarily focused on hardware, yielding outstanding results. In contrast, much less has been invested in software. The path we%u2019ve chosen has been a relatively solitary one. Therefore, in addition to actively engaging in R&D with our partners and cultivating industrial and technological talent, I am also passionate about participating in the formulation of government policies, joining associations to promote industrial development, and giving annual lectures at schools to encourage young students to understand and embrace the trends in smart technology industries.As global technological transformations continue, the importance of AI, machine learning, and big data applications in industries and human life is growing. Through the prominence of the TECO Award, I hope to further encourage talents with proven industrial accomplishments in these fields and inspire more young people to pursue careers in areas that are crucial to the future development of Taiwan%u2019s industries. If we succeed, not only will young people gain excellent development opportunities, but the industry will also thrive, and the country will undoubtedly benefit.History of AchievementsDr. Shiaw-Shian Yu graduated with a master%u2019s degree from National Chiao Tung University in 1983 and subsequently joined the Electronics Research & Service Organization (ERSO) at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), where he participated in image processing and machine vision projects. In 1985, he was honored with the Outstanding Designer Award at ITRI and was selected as one of three seed members to study AI technology in the United States. In 1986, he was recommended by ITRI to return to National Chiao Tung University for further studies and obtained his Ph.D. in 1990. In 1991, thanks to his achievements in neural network research, Dr. Yu won the first ITRI Research Achievement Award, the highest honor for researchers. He later took on various managerial positions and eventually became the Director of the Advanced Technology Center, where the AI research team he led won the most research awards within ITRI.From 2000 to 2002, encouraged by Academician H.T. Kung of Academia Sinica, Dr. Yu joined Yam.com as Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, where he gained valuable insights into internet services and corporate operations. From 2003 to 2005, he returned to ITRI and, under Academician Kung%u2019s guidance, established and led the Dual Network Integration Office at the Executive Yuan%u2019s NICI, promoting the development of the mobile internet industry over two years. His efforts included promoting the integration of telecommunications and Wi-Fi networks and successfully developing Asia%u2019s first prototype dual-network mobile phone with 3G and Wi-Fi capabilities. This also facilitated the expansion of Wi-Fi networks in public places, addressing 3G bandwidth shortages.From 2003 to 2012, Dr. Yu led several R&D projects in intelligent software, AI, and cybersecurity, including WSN, ITenabled services, and Web 2.0. Additionally, he initiated and managed international collaborative research projects between %u7b2c%u4e09%u5341%u4e00%u5c46%u6771%u5143%u734e%uff0e%u79d1%u6280%u985e%u734e%u96fb%u6a5f / %u8cc7%u8a0a / %u901a%u8a0a%u79d1%u6280
