The CIS Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) aims at serving communities interested in computational intelligence and, specifically, supporting local CIS Chapters and CIS members who like to stay up-to-date on the latest research and practical applications by organizing lectures given by distinguished experts. Particular attention is given to the specific needs of academia, and professionals in industry and government. Lecturers will tailor their presentations to the envisioned audience.
The program supports local CIS Chapters by helping them to invite leading researchers in their respective fields. The DLP talk is a major event in the life of the inviting Chapter. The visibility of the inviting Chapter is expected to increase significantly as a result of the DLP talk. The visit should be actively pursued as an opportunity for membership recruitment. This program is not intended to provide speakers for conferences, workshops or symposia.
Requests for lectures given by one of the CIS Distinguished Lecturers must be submitted by CIS Chapter Chairs to the Chair of the Distinguished Lecturer Program Sub-Committee, according to the procedure described below. Lecturers will tailor their presentations to the specific envisioned audience. This program is not intended to provide speakers for conferences, workshops or symposia.

To organize a
distinguished lecture, the CIS Chapter Chair should perform the following steps:
1. Based on the
interests of the members, the Chapter Chair chooses a Distinguished Lecturer
(DL) and a topic from the list of current DLP lecturers. The chair should
contact the DL directly, copying the DLP Chair, and work out preliminary details
of the visit (chapter event, date, location, financial arrangements, etc.).
2. This
preliminary information should be included in the DLP Application Form, to be
sent to the DLP Chair for approval. In general, DLP covers the DL‟s intercity
travel expenses to the DLP talk (return air fare, within limits as described
below). Local expenses (such as hotel, food, transportation) should be provided
by the local Chapter.
3. The
Chapter Chair should make timely arrangements well in advance of the planned
visit. July 30 is the deadline for submitting requests to DLP Chair for the
given year. Requests are evaluated continuously, and Chapter Chairs are
encouraged to make their requests early, to secure the approval of the DLP
visit.
4. The DL will be
reimbursed up to a maximum of $1500, in order to (partially) cover the return
air fare to the Chapter location to give the DLP talk. The DLs are expected to
have approximately one visit per year. A DL may have more than one DLP trip
during a calendar year, depending on the availability of funds, but this has
lower priority.
5. After the visit is
approved by the DLP Chair, the Chapter Chair should contact the DL to finalize
arrangements. The lecture should be open to all members of IEEE. The Chapter
Chair is expected to publicize the event in the Chapter newsletter and/or by
special mailings to all members of the Chapter. The event must be announced as
"Sponsored by the Computational Intelligence Society under its Distinguished
Lecturer Program", and the lecturer should be mentioned as a “CIS Distinguished
Lecturer.” If other IEEE societies or organizations have offered to support this
Chapter activity, then proper acknowledgment should also be made.
6. Immediately
following the event, the Chapter Chair should send a summary report to the DLP
chair including information on the lecture date/title, a copy of the
announcement, photos etc.
7. The DL should retain
receipts of the approved travel expenses. Following the event, the DL should
complete the IEEE travel reimbursement form and send it to the VP of Finances
with copy to the DLP chair. Hardcopy of the spreadsheet and original receipts
should be mailed to the IEEE CIS Executive Administrator.

(ii) Acceleration methods for the fuzzy c-means model (iii) Approximations based on clustering a sample followed by non-iterative extension to the rest of the data (iii) Incremental methods based on processing sequential data chunks (iv) Kernel-based methods (v) complexity analysis, VL image data, and extensions to other iterative algorithms such as Gaussian mixture decomposition with EM/AO.
Lecture Topic 4: New clothes for some old cluster validity methods: (i) Definitions and examples tendency assessment, clustering, and cluster validity. (ii) Scalar measures of validity for object and relational data, Davies-Bouldin, modified Hubert's Gamma Dunn's index, Xie-Beni index (iii) Reference partition methods, generalized Rand index for soft partitions (fuzzy, probabilistic and possibilistic).
