  • Comment: Unfortunately this article is written almost completely ignoring Wikipedia standards, and many prior declinations. It contains overlong descriptions of his work which read like a CV. There are far too many claims which are bragging, WP:PUFFERY. Looking deeper, with a Google Scholar h-factor of 51 and no major awards he does not pass the notability bar, WP:NPROF. Plus there are large parts of his career which are unsourced.
    If you want to try again treat this as a serious research problem. Read other pages. Remove the claims and masses of less useful information; I estimate 1/4 the current size. Add awards (if they exist). Ldm1954 (talk) 12:45, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The coverage of Ido Kanter is about the research and does not demonstrate significant notability about them. Needs references specifically about Kanter and not using the authors own papers for references to show notability. At the moment appears to be a bit of a CV.

Ido Kanter (born: 21 Nov. 1959) is an Israeli professor of physics and the head of the Lab for Reverberating Modes in Neural Networks at the Gonda Brain Research Center at Bar-Ilan University. He specializes in models of disorder magnetic systems, physical random number generators, theory of neural networks, deep learning and synchronization among neurons and lasers, documented in more than 200 publications.



Education

Kanter graduated from Bar-Ilan University with a bachelor's degree in physics and computer science in 1983. In 1987, he received his direct Ph.D. from Bar-Ilan University with his thesis, “Theory of Spin Glasses and its Applications to Complex Problems in Mathematics and Biology,” under the supervision of Professor Haim Sompolinsky.

After completing his Ph.D., Kanter joined Professor Phil W. Anderson’s group at Princeton University as a visiting research fellow (1988-1989). He was also a visiting research fellow at AT&T Bell Labs, collaborating with Yann le Cun (1989). In 1989, Kanter became a senior lecturer at Bar-Ilan University. He became an associate professor in 1991 and a full professor in 1996.

Personal Life

Ido Kanter was born and raised in Rehovot, Israel and served in the Israeli Defense Force from 1978 to 1981.

Research Interests

Ido Kanter specializes in models of disorder magnetic systems, ultrafast physical random number generators, theory of neural networks, neural cryptography, deep learning and synchronization among neurons and lasers and experimental and theoretical neuroscience, documented in more than 220 publications.[1]
