One of the first neural network expert: death of founder Minsky of MIT artificial intelligence-artificial intelligence, MIT, Massachusetts Institute of technology-IT information

Beijing January 26 midday news, Massachusetts Institute of technology artificial intelligence Marvin Minsky, the founder of the project (Marvin Minsky) died of brain hemorrhage on Monday, at the age of 88.

MIT spokesman later confirmed the news.

Marvin Minsky

Minsky was one of experts engaged in research of artificial neural networks, is also deep learning key technologies in this area. Facebook, Google and Microsoft are actively engaged in research in this area, they train a neural network analysis of large amounts of data, and then the new data is inferred.

Minsky was born on August 9, 1927 in United States New York.

In 1959, he and the LISP programming language inventor and "artificial intelligence" the word inventor John McCarthy (John McCarthy), founded the Massachusetts Institute of technology artificial intelligence project. Minsky from 1959 to 1974 served as Co-Director of MIT's artificial intelligence laboratory. In 2003, the artificial intelligence laboratory and the computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of technology laboratory for computer science merged (hereinafter "CSAIL"). CSAIL gives rise to many companies, including Boston Dynamics, Meka Robotics, Akamai and Dropbox, the first two companies were bought by Google in 2013. In addition to working in the artificial intelligence laboratory, Minsky is a member of the MIT Media Lab.

In 1963, Minsky invented the first head-mounted graphical display, Oculus Rift now virtual reality goggles using this mode.

In 1970, Minsky obtained United States Turing Award from the Association for computing, elected in 1973 United States National Academy of Sciences.

Minsky also is the founder of Thinking Machines, the supercomputer maker access to the United States Department of Defense Advanced research projects Agency millions of dollars of orders. Thinking Machines filed for bankruptcy protection, its hardware and software assets bought by Sun Microsystems in the 1990 's.

Minsky published many books, including the semantic information processing (Semantic Information Processing), the spirit of society (The Society of Mind) and of the emotion machine (The Emotion Machine).

In the interview with the Massachusetts Institute of technology start-ups last year, Minsky also laughed at the commercialization of artificial intelligence projects in recent years.

首批神经网络专家之一：MIT人工智能奠基人明斯基逝世 - 人工智能,MIT,麻省理工学院 - IT资讯

北京时间1月26日午间消息，麻省理工学院人工智能项目创始人马文·明斯基(Marvin Minsky)周一因为脑出血逝世，享年88岁。

麻省理工学院发言人随后证实了这条消息。

马文·明斯基

明斯基是首批从事人工神经网络研究的专家，这也是当今深度学习领域的关键技术。Facebook、谷歌、微软都在积极从事这方面的研究，他们训练神经网络分析大量数据，然后对新数据进行推断。

明斯基1927年8月9日出生在美国纽约。

1959年，他和LISP编程语言发明人及“人工智能”一词的发明人约翰·麦卡锡(John McCarthy)一同创办了麻省理工学院人工智能项目。明斯基从1959年至1974年间担任麻省理工学院人工智能实验室联席主任。2003年，人工智能实验室和麻省理工学院计算机科学实验室合并成立了计算机科学和人工智能实验室(以下简称“CSAIL”)。CSAIL衍生了很多公司，包括Boston Dynamics、Meka Robotics、Akamai和Dropbox，前两家公司都在2013年被谷歌收购。除了在人工智能实验室的工作外，明斯基还是麻省理工学院媒体实验室的成员。

1963年，明斯基发明了首款头戴式图形显示器，如今的Oculus Rift虚拟现实眼罩就采用了这种模式。

1970年，明斯基获得美国计算机协会颁发的图灵奖，1973年当选美国国家科学院院士。

明斯基还是Thinking Machines的创始人，这家超级计算机制造商获得了美国国防部高等研究项目署的数百万美元订单。Thinking Machines申请破产保护后，其硬件和软件资产在1990年代被Sun微系统收购。

明斯基还出版过多本书籍，包括《语义信息处理》(Semantic Information Processing)、《精神社会》(The Society of Mind)和《情感机器》(The Emotion Machine)。

在去年接受《麻省理工科技创业》采访时，明斯基还嘲笑了最近几年的人工智能商业化项目。
