Bernard Widrow (born December 24, 1929) is a U.S. professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University.[1] He is the co-inventor of the Widrow–Hoff least mean squares filter (LMS) adaptive algorithm with his then doctoral student Ted Hoff.[2] The LMS algorithm led to the ADALINE and MADALINE artificial neural networks and to the backpropagation technique.
