ZH Artificial intelligence can now accurately determine where a person is looking in real time. Ming-Yi Lin, Professor of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, together with students Chen-Pei Hsu and Yu-Ru Chen, combined artificial intelligence, embedded vision, and intelligent sensing technologies to develop the “High-Stability Dual-Stream Gaze Estimation Device.” The innovation overcame limitations commonly encountered in conventional eye-tracking systems, which were often affected by lighting conditions, head-pose variations, and hardware performance constraints.

In response to the growing trend of 6G and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications, Yuan Ze University’s advanced communications research once again received national recognition. A research team led by Professor Chun-Hung Teng of the Department of Electrical Engineering, College of Electrical and Communication Engineering, participated in the invention competition at the 2026 Taiwan Innotech Expo with its project, “Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Signal Transmission Transmitter, Receiver, and System.”
Students from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, College of Informatics, Yuan Ze University, delivered outstanding performances at the 2026 Chinese Institute of Engineers Student Paper Competition. In the Computer Science and Engineering Division, they received one Excellence Award and two Honorable Mention Awards, earning a total of three awards and demonstrating the department’s research strength and innovative achievements in artificial intelligence, edge computing, and intelligent sensing.
How can artificial intelligence improve the efficiency and energy conservation of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite communications? Under the guidance of Professor Yi-Huai Hsu, Chen-Peng Chiu, a master's student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Yuan Ze University, incorporated graph neural networks and multi-agent deep reinforcement learning into 6G LEO satellite communication research and proposed an energy-efficient routing mechanism. His work recently earned the Honorable Mention Award in the Master's Division at the 19th Excellent Thesis Award, standing out among 1,021 master's and doctoral theses and showcasing the university's achievements in interdisciplinary research integrating artificial intelligence and next-generation communications.
The 61st Venice Biennale (La Biennale di Venezia) in 2026 adopted “In Minor Keys” as its central theme, focusing on issues of introspection, memory, and the perception of life. Yi-Chun Chen, a transmedia artist and faculty member of the Department of Art and Design at Yuan Ze University, was invited to hold a solo exhibition, Soul Data Center, as part of the Biennale’s parallel exhibitions.
Chen-Peng Chiu, a master’s student, and Chun-Chi Fang, an undergraduate researcher from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Yuan Ze University, received the Outstanding Student Paper Award for their paper entitled “An Energy-Efficient Routing Mechanism Based on Graph Attention Network-Assisted Multi-Agent Double Deep Q-Networks in Low-Earth-Orbit Satellite Networks” at the MC 2026 & WASN 2026 Conference on Mobile Computing and Wireless, Ad Hoc, and Sensor Networks. The research was conducted under the supervision of Yi-Huai Hsu.
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Yuan Ze University achieved another outstanding accomplishment. Under the supervision of Professor Yi-Huai Hsu, master’s student Chun-Yen Li received Honorable Mention in the 2025 Best Master’s Thesis Award by the Institute of Information & Computing Machinery (IICM) for his thesis titled “A Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Coexistence Mechanism for eMBB and URLLC Services in Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Networks.”
