Marvin+Minsky

was an American mathematician, philosopher, cognitive scientist, and pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence. Along with John McCarthy, he co-founded the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's [|AI laboratory]. In 1951, Minsky built the first randomly wired neural network learning machine, [|SNARC], and in 1969, along with Seymour Papert authored //[|Perceptrons]//, which became the foundational work in the analysis of artificial neural networks, also refered as [|the abandonment] of [|connectionism], a controversy in the history of AI concerning the Perceptron and its main researcher [|Frank Rosenblatt]. || toc =HAL 9000= Minsky and Jack Good were adviser of the 1968 [|Arthur C. Clarke] and [|Stanley Kubrick] film [|2001: A Space Odyssey], concerning [|Self-replicating machine] and [|HAL 9000], the **H**euristically programmed **AL**gorithmic computer, and were referred to both in the movie and the book.
