Professor Andrzej Skowron from the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences has been elected as a Corresponding Member of NAAI!
We are honored to announce that Andrzej Skowron, a professor in the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences has been elected as a corresponding member of the National Academy of Artificial Intelligence NAAI, in recognition of his pioneering contributions and global academic influence in the fields of Rough Set Theory, knowledge discovery, and intelligent systems. The selection of Professor Skowron marks the further recognition of his academic achievements by top international peers.
Professor Andrzej Skowron is internationally recognized as one of the core founders of rough set theory. Since the 1980s, he and scholars researchers such as the founder of rough set, Zdzisław Pawlak, have jointly promoted the systematic development of this theory, expanding rough sets from mathematical logical frameworks to important tools for dealing with uncertainty, incompleteness, and big data analysis. His research has provided a unique "approximate reasoning" methodology, based on interactive granular computing paradigm, for the field foundations of artificial intelligence, particularly with the potential to achieve revolutionary breakthroughs in areas such as data mining, pattern recognition, and decision systems.
The attribute reduction algorithm based on rough sets proposed by him significantly improves the efficiency of high-dimensional data processing and is widely used in medical diagnosis, financial risk control, and industrial intelligence systems. His many representative works, have become classic references in this field.
Interdisciplinary Practice: From Theory to Social Value
Professor Skowron has always advocated the scientific research concept of "theory serving the real world". His team successfully combined rough set theory with machine learning and granular computing to develop multimodal data fusion technology, which has been applied to multiple major research projects in Europe , including environmental monitoring, network security, and medical decision support systems.
In addition, his pioneering work in the field of "adaptive intelligent systems", based on interactive granular computing, has provided a new paradigm for dynamic decision models, in particular in autonomous driving and autonomous learning of robots. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has evaluated it as a "bridge builder connecting formal mathematics and engineering practice".
Academic leaders and educators
As the founder of the Computational Intelligence Group at the University of Warsaw, Professor Skowron has trained over 25 PhDs, many of whom have become leaders in the field of artificial intelligence at top universities of different countries. He has long served as the editor in chief of top journals such as the Fundamenta Informaticae and Transactions on Rough Sets, and has led the rough set international conferences, promoting deep cooperation between Poland and the global academic community.
About NAAI Corresponding member
The NAAI Corresponding member is awarded to outstanding scientists worldwide who have achieved outstanding achievements in the field of artificial intelligence and have had a profound impact on the global academic community. We look forward to Professor Skowron continuing to lead exploration in the field of explainable AI (XAI) and ethics driven artificial intelligence, setting a benchmark for the global academic community.
