Judea+Pearl

an an Israeli American computer scientist and pioneer in artificial intelligence, Professor of computer science at the [|Cognitive Systems Laboratory] of the [|University of California], Los Angeles. Judea Pearl is known for developing the probabilistic approach to artificial intelligence and for the formalization of [|causal reasoning].

In 1980 Judea Pearl researched on search algorithms and introduced the concept of Null Window Alpha-Beta search with the boolean ­procedure TEST of the Scout-Algorithm, which was the foundation of NegaScout, Principal Variation Search, NegaC* and MTD(f). || =Biography= toc Quote from the [|Franklin Institute] :

=Awards= Judea Pearl's numerous scientific honors include the [|IJCAI Research Excellence Award] in 1999, the [|Lakatos Award] in the philosophy of science in 2001, the [|Allen Newell Award] in 2003, and the [|Benjamin Franklin] Medal in Computers and Cognitive Science in 2008. In 2011, Judea Pearl received the ACM Turing Award for fundamental contributions to artificial intelligence through the development of a calculus for probabilistic and causal reasoning.

=Daniel Pearl= In 2002, Judea Pearl's son [|Daniel Pearl] was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan, leading Judea and the other members of the family and friends to create the [|Daniel Pearl Foundation].
