Dr.
Douglas Lenat, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, focuses on
applying large amounts of structured knowledge to information management
tasks. As head of Cycorp, Dr. Lenat leads groundbreaking research
in software technologies, including the formalization of common
sense, semantic integration of—and efficient inference over—massive
information sources, the use of explicit contexts to represent
and reason with inconsistent knowledge, and the use of existing
structured knowledge to guide and strengthen the results of automated
information extraction from unstructured sources. Doug is currently
applying these technologies commercially in healthcare information
and for the U.S. government in intelligence analysis. Previously,
he was a professor in Stanford University’s computer science
department and the principal scientist at Microelectronics and
Computer Technology Corporation. Doug is a prolific author and
was one of the original fellows of the American Association for
Artificial Intelligence. He serves on the Rule Interchange Format
and OWL 1.1 working groups of the World Wide Web Consortium. |
