Pedro Domingos is a Professor Emeritus[3] of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington.[1] He is a researcher in machine learning known for Markov logic network enabling uncertain inference.[4][5]
Education
Domingos received an undergraduate degree and Master of Science degree from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).[6] He moved to the University of California, Irvine, where he received a Master of Science degree and followed by PhD.[6]
Research and career
After spending two years as an assistant professor at IST, he joined the University of Washington as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering in 1999 and became a full professor in 2012.[7] He started a machine learning research group at the hedge fund D. E. Shaw & Co. in 2018,[8] but left in 2019.[9]

Social Media presence
In December 2020, Domingos was involved in a Twitter debate about AI ethics, Timnit Gebru’s controversial exit at Google, and cancel culture. [12] He has previously denied the existence of algorithmic biases.[13] Domingos's department at the University of Washington Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering released a statement denouncing his comments[14]. A group of 50 academics decided to write an open letter in defense of free speech in science - whatever your political affiliation. Pedro Domingos was one of the signatories. [15]
