Researcher

Chee Peng Lim

Chee Peng Lim is an AI researcher whose work includes pattern classification, data analytics and decision support. He earned a PhD in intelligent systems from Sheffield in 1997 and co-authored a 2020 review of generalized zero-shot learning, which studies classification when some output classes are unknown during supervised training. At Deakin, he presented soft-computing models for intelligent data analytics in 2022 and spoke at an AI research and entrepreneurship seminar in December 2023 as a Professor of Computational Intelligence. By 2025, he was a professor in Swinburne's Department of Computing Technologies. In March 2026, he was part of Swinburne's Heads Up Safe Route team, which secured $432,000 to develop real-time detection of overhead hazards for heavy vehicles; as of October 2026, he is a Professor of Computational Intelligence in that department.

From the biography.

  1. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionIncludes Swinburne University of Technology. We estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
  2. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology trained or employed 44 of the 187 AI major-prize winners, more than any other universityIncludes Swinburne University of Technology. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology trained or employed 44 of the 187 AI major-prize winners, more than any other university. We compare doctorate and 5+ year employment links, career timing and current workplaces for 187 major-prize and 1,111 best-paper winners.
  3. The company share of AI researchers’ top papers was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974Includes Deakin University. We estimate where the people shaping AI worked when their most-cited papers appeared: the company share was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974, and Google led all organizations in 2020–2024.
  4. The median h-index is 48 at universities and 14 at frontier AI labsIncludes Deakin University. The median h-index is 48 at universities and 14 at frontier AI labs. We compare publishing careers, recent citations, dual appointments and job moves across 2,420 university researchers and 308 frontier-lab researchers.
