Michael Kearns is an American computer scientist, professor and National Center Chair at the University of Pennsylvania, the founding director of Penn's Singh Program in Networked & Social Systems Engineering (NETS), the founding director of (Warren Center for Network and Data Sciences ), and also holds secondary appointments in Wharton School. He is a leading researcher in computational learning theory and algorithmic game theory, and interested in machine learning, artificial intelligence, computational finance, algorithmic trading, computational social science and social networks. == Biography == Kearns was born into an academic family, where his father (David R Kearns ) is Professor Emeritus at University of California, San Diego in chemistry, who won Guggenheim Fellowship in 1969,〔(David R. Kearns 1969 Guggenheim Fellowship Chemistry )〕 and his uncle (Thomas R. Kearns ) is Professor Emeritus at Amherst College in Philosophy and Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought. Besides, his paternal grandfather Clyde W. Kearns is a pioneer in insecticide toxicology and was a professor at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in Entomology,〔(Symposium honoring Clyde W. Kearns, Pioneer in insecticide toxicology )〕 and his maternal grandfather (Chen Shou-Yi ) (1899-1978) was a professor at Pomona College in history and literature, who was born in Canton (Guangzhou, China) into a family noted for their scholarship and educational leadership. ''In the growth and development of Asian Studies on the West Coast, the Claremont Colleges and Professor Chen occupy a leading place.'' Kearns received his B.S. degree at the University of California at Berkeley in math and computer science in 1985, and Ph.D. in computer science from Harvard University in 1989, under the supervision of Turing award winner Leslie Valiant. His doctoral dissertation was (''The Computational Complexity of Machine Learning'' ), later published by MIT press as part of the ACM (Doctoral Dissertation Award Series ) in 1990. Before joining AT&T Bell Labs in 1991, he continued with postdoctoral positions at the Laboratory for Computer Science at MIT hosted by Ronald Rivest, and at the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) in UC Berkeley hosted by Richard M. Karp, both of whom are Turing award winners. Kearns is currently a full professor and National Center Chair at the University of Pennsylvania, where his appointment is split across the Department of Computer and Information Science, and Statistics and Operations and Information Management in the Wharton School. Prior to joining the Penn faculty in 2002, he spent a decade (1991–2001) in AT&T Labs and Bell Labs, including AI department with colleagues and friends such as Michael L. Littman, David A. McAllester, and Richard S. Sutton; Secure Systems Research department; and Machine Learning department with members such as Michael Collins and the leader (Fernando Pereira ). The past AT&T Labs researchers in (Algorithms and Theoretical Computer Science ) include Yoav Freund, Ronald Graham, Mehryar Mohri, Robert Schapire, and Peter Shor. Some more friends and colleagues during Labs include Sebastian Seung, Yann LeCun, Corinna Cortes, and Vladimir Vapnik (the V in VC dimension). Kearns was named Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (2014) for contributions to machine learning.〔 His former graduate students and postdoctoral visitors include (Ryan W. Porter ) and John Langford. Their works were reported by media, such as MIT Technology Review (2014) (''Can a Website Help You Decide to Have a Kid?'' ), Bloomberg News (2014) (''Schneiderman (and Einstein) Pressure High-Speed Trading'' ) and NPR audio (2012) (''Online Education Grows Up, And For Now, It's Free'' ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Kearns (computer scientist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
