Jürgen Schmidhuber (born 1963)[1] is a computer scientist who works in the field of artificial intelligence. He is a co-director of the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research in Manno, in Ticino in southern Switzerland.[2]
Schmidhuber did his undergraduate studies at Technische Universität München in Munich, Germany.[1] He taught there from 2004 until 2009, when he became a professor of artificial intelligence at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, Switzerland.[3]
Work[edit]
In 1997, Schmidhuber and Sepp Hochreiter published a paper on a type of recurrent neural network which they called long short-term memory. In 2015, this was used in a new implementation of speech recognition in Google's software for smartphones.[2]
In 2014, Schmidhuber formed a company, Nnaisense, to work on commercial applications of artificial intelligence in fields such as finance, heavy industry and self-driving cars. Sepp Hochreiter and Jaan Tallinn are advisers to the company.[2]
Recognition[edit]
Schmidhuber received the Helmholtz Award of the International Neural Networks Society in 2013,[4] and the Neural Networks Pioneer Award of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society in 2016.[5] He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.[6][3]
