Prof. Jae Kyu Lee

Xi'an Jiaotong University, China / KAIST, Korea

Jae Kyu Lee, Ph.D. is the Distinguished Professor in the School of Management at Xi’an Jiaotong University and Professor Emeritus at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He served as professor and HHI Chair Professor at KAIST from 1985 to 2016 after he received his Ph.D. in Information and Operations Management from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. He received a Fellow Award and the LEO Award, and served as President (2015-6) of the Association for Information Systems. His research has focused on AI for Decision Support Systems and Electronic Commerce, and he founded the Bright Internet with a preventive cybersecurity paradigm. He chaired the International Conference on Information Systems and the Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems. He founded the International Conference on Electronic Commerce and the journal Electronic Commerce Research and Applications (Elsevier). Recently, he has been working on the development of gradual personalization and domain adaptation for AI-based classification models to select beneficial datasets and to integrate databases from the perspective of individual users. He has also been working on the development of Generative Genomics using AI to distinguish the generative genes from evolutionary genes to explain the origins of biological diversity. This research uses extensive AI-based analysis over multi-omics big databases in bioinformatics. He is the founder and president of the Generative Genomics Research Council and its workshops as described at https://www.ggenomics.org/. He received ten best paper awards from major conferences, and received a national decoration from the Korean government for his contributions to the development of the IT industry. He has published many papers in international journals such as MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Management Science, Decision Support Systems, Communications of ACM, International Journal of Electronic Commerce, Expert System with Applications, European Journal of Information Systems, and many others. He was the founding president of the Korea Intelligent Information Systems Society, and served as the president of the Korea Society of Management Information Systems.

Speech Title: "AI for Biological Discovery: From Protein Language Models to Biomedical Applications"

Abstract: Biological sequences and medical images offer complementary perspectives on molecular function and disease. Translating these data into reliable predictions requires computational methods that capture complex patterns and generalize across diverse biological settings. This keynote will explore how protein language models, deep learning, and ensemble learning can advance biological discovery and biomedical research. The presentation will highlight applications in peptide function and safety prediction, peptide–MHC interaction modeling, and computational pathology. These examples will demonstrate how biological knowledge and learned representations can guide predictive modeling across molecular and tissue scales. Particular attention will be given to data quality, rigorous evaluation, independent validation, and model interpretability, emphasizing the distinction between predictive accuracy and biological understanding. The keynote will conclude with perspectives on integrating complementary biological data and experimental evidence to develop more reliable and interpretable AI tools. It will offer practical insights for researchers applying intelligent information technologies to challenges in biology and medicine.
