Yiyu Yao is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Regina, Faculty of Science. He holds a B.Eng. from Xi'an Jiaotong University and earned both his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Regina. His office is located in College West 308.6, and he can be reached at Yiyu.Yao@uregina.ca or by phone at (306) 585-5226. Dr. Yao's research spans multiple interconnected domains in intelligent systems. His primary focus is on three-way decisions, which serves as a unifying framework for his work in granular computing, rough sets, and decision-theoretic models. He has developed significant theoretical contributions to decision-theoretic rough sets (DTRS) and probabilistic rough sets, creating bridges between uncertainty management and practical decision-making applications. His work extends to web intelligence, information retrieval systems, and multiview data analysis, where he applies his theoretical frameworks to real-world problems in data science and artificial intelligence. Analysis of Dr. Yao's recent publications reveals a strong continuing focus on three-way decision theory, with increasing applications across diverse domains. His work demonstrates evolution from foundational theoretical contributions to sophisticated applications in multi-criteria decision making, conflict analysis, and explainable AI. The research shows integration of granular computing principles with modern machine learning techniques, particularly in handling uncertainty and developing interpretable models. Recent publications indicate growing interest in the intersection of three-way decisions with fuzzy sets, shadowed sets, and cognitive approaches to data analysis. Dr. Yao has mentored numerous graduate students and has hosted many visiting scholars, primarily from Chinese institutions including Nanjing University Posts and Telecommunication, Harbin Normal University, Shaanxi Normal University, and others. He serves as Area Editor on Rough Sets for the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning and as Associate Editor for Information Sciences. He is also Associate Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Emerging Technologies in Web Intelligence and serves on multiple editorial boards including LNCS Transactions on Rough Sets and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems. He has organized significant conferences including the International Joint Conference on Rough Sets (IJCRS 2017) and served on the Steering Committee for the International Symposium on Fuzzy and Rough Sets.
