Spring 2014
Dr. Edward Feigenbaum
Born in Weehawken, NJ in 1936
BS and PhD from Carnegie Mellon University (1956 and 1960)
Artificial intelligence
“Father of expert systems”
Founding member of Stanford CS department
Artificial Intelligence
“Expert systems” = artificial intelligence that uses knowledge of experts in any field (medical, business, etc.)
Get computers to make theories from data
Explain those data
Make predictions about new data
Coined phrases “Knowledge is power,” “Expert systems”
Feigenbaum’s Research
Research suggestion from Nobel Prize winner Joshua Lederberg: Induce 3D structure of chemicals from their mass spectrograms
Later project could deduce new rules
After chemical structures, Feigenbaum’s lab expanded to medicine, molecular genetics, x-ray crystallography, and pulmonary analysis. Also a “shell” (template) version.
Heuristic DENDRAL
META-DENDRAL
MYCIN, PUFF, ONCOCIN, MOLGEN, CHRYSALIS, and EMYCIN
