Brochure 2020
In 2019, the Institute established IIS Collaborative Projects to develop new research strategies. In principle,
each project is subject to a funding limit of NT$130K-$270K, su cient to achieve objectives relating to novel
and important/ agship topics. Once granted, projects are reviewed every six months. If a project is deemed
not to be achieving its goals, it can be suspended.
When foreign research teams visit IIS and during IIS Academic Advisory Committee meetings, progress on
all funded projects must be reported. Due to these strict requirements, applications for these grants have
declined considerably, even though they can greatly facilitate breakthroughs in research.
In 2019, two projects were funded; Prof. Da-Wei Wang's research on medical information, and Prof. Li Su's
project on virtual concerts. In 2020, four projects were awarded funding; namely, Prof. De-Nian Yang's "smart
recommendation system", Prof. Yu-Fan Chen's "recoverable graph-processing system design", Prof. Chung-Yen
Lin's "new generation sequencing and recombination hybrid algorithm", and Prof. Keh-Yi Su's "conversational
open domain document-based natural speech Q&A". The projects of Prof. Li Su and Chung-Yen Lin are reported
in the "Spotlights" project area of this brochure, and progress on the remaining four funded projects is detailed
in the following pages.
