"considered to be" is much more common nowadays and also there is a clear difference between these two.

"He is considered to be a well-known professor"
"considered to be" tells you how others may consider/think of something. In this case, others are saying that he is a well-known professor. I guess you can see this as some sort of recommendation or an opinion which is shared by others.

"He is considered as a well-known professor."
"considered as" tells you to use a particular context to consider something. In other words, find other evidence to see if that person is indeed a famous professor.

Other examples

"Hey, did you know that guy used to be considered as a genius?"
"Did you hear? Apparently, he's considered to be a transfer student from New Zealand!"

So, when I use "considered as", there always has to be some evidence in the context (for me to consider it)? What does it mean by "use a particular context?" Could you elaborate more?

@wayfarer515 Let's use the example above, "He is considered as a well-known professor".

In this example, you have absolutely no clue if he really is a famous professor right? That's the difference between "considered as" and "considered to be". How about we think of it in a different way.
Think of "considered as" as "thought to be". These mean the same so it won't change the meaning. "He is thought to be a well-known professor". By interpreting "considered as" as "thought to be" you can get some sort of clue that you don't have proof of the professor being famous.

Ahh, I think I understand it. So, it's similar to "come across", right? and it's based on my own opinions.
As in, "The girl was really considered as rich."
So, "considered to be" = "considered as ~by people"
