Report summary

Lingnan University School of Data Science in 2015-2026 reads as a 5-PI network with 1 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (30% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (25% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels), and Advanced Data Compression Techniques as the leading topic (7% of slots across 1 PIs; 1 labels). That is of concern for a 5-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Sam Kwong (4.9 weighted works; Image and Video Quality Assessment, Video Coding and Compression Technologies). The strongest pairings are Sam Kwong and Billy Chiu (1 shared works, weight 0.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 2 PIs, 1 internal connections, weight 0.6, around Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Artificial Intelligence, Signal Processing, led by Sam Kwong, Billy Chiu.
