コンテンツチームのDs110 です。
今回は招待講演が決定致しましたのでお知らせします。
招待講演は2015年から毎年実施をしています。
本講演の目的は各界(学術や産業など)の第一人者をお招きし、普段では中々、聞くことの出来ないお話をPythonを関連させて講演いただくというものです。
本年は台湾の長庚大学准教授Renyuan Lyu氏に講演をお願いすることとなりましたのでお知らせします。
Hello everyone.
I am Daisuke from the Program Committee of PyCon JP 2019.
Let me announce our invited speaker for this year.
The purpose of this talk is to have an expert in a specific field present on their expertise and tell their stories, which go beyond what is usually covered at a Python conference.
For this year, we deviced to invite Prof. Renyuan Lyu from the Chung Gung University in Taiwan.
Please see below for the his profiles.
Renyuan Lyu 氏

Completed profile
Renyuan Lyu got his doctorate degree from Graduate Institute of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University in his 20’s. After that, he became a faculty member of Chung Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan, specializing in audio, speech, language, and pattern processing. In his early working years, he used C/C++, Matlab, Perl to do academic research and teaching activity, creating the first several Mandarin and Taiwanese speech recognition systems.
As time passed by and the age increased, he found both physical and mental strength seemed to be declining little by little, he also noticed that it was getting harder to use the programming language mentioned above to code and do research efficiently. It was until 2011, he discovered Python. He re-trained himself and then rekindled his passion for coding. Through the process, he constantly found the beauty of Python, and gradually replaced all the other programming languages for teaching and doing research. He had also received a grant from Taiwan’s Ministry of Science and Technology for a two-year project on creating a Hanzi (Chinese character) programming environment for the Python programming language, and later he published the results of this project in Pycon JP 2017.
By the way, he started participating in the Pycon APAC event in 2014 and delivered a speech. Subsequently, he participated in Pycon JP for three consecutive years from 2015 to 2017 and delivered oral speeches, presented posters, participated in lightning talks. Especially in the lightning talk in 2017 when he applied Python to transcribe the singing voice of a Karaoke-style singing, he was greatly acclaimed and made many friends after the talking.
Because of his enthusiasm for Python, he began to influence his students, children and even his children’s classmates to learn Python. When his child was in middle school, he used to be a programming teacher for them in a specially educated (advanced) learning club. While his child was in high school, he also coached him to do a Python-based programming project.
He is currently an university’s associate professor, teaching probability statistics, signal processing, pattern recognition, and speech recognition, studying topics related to Taiwanese languages (Taiwanese and Mandarin Chinese) processing, all using the Python language.
