Robert M. French is a research director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. He is currently at the University of Burgundy in Dijon. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, where he worked with Douglas Hofstadter on the Tabletop computational cognitive model. He specializes in cognitive science and has made an extensive study of the process of analogy-making.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Amazon.com )〕 French is the inventor of Tabletop, a computer program that forms analogies in a microdomain consisting of everyday objects placed on a table. He has done extensive research in artificial intelligence and written several articles about the Turing Test, which was proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 as a means of determining whether an advanced computer can be said to be intelligent. French was for a long time an outspoken critic of the test, which, he suggested, no computer might ever be able to meet. More recently, however, he has noted that artificial intelligence is advancing so quickly that a computer might soon be able to pass the test. He has published work on catastrophic forgetting in neural networks, the Turing test and foundations of cognitive science, the evolution of sex, and categorization and learning in infants, among other topics. ==Early life and education== French attended Miami University of Ohio from 1969 to 1972, earning a B.S. in mathematics after three years of study. From 1972 to 1974 he was at Indiana University, from which received an M.A. in mathematics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =University of Burgundy )〕 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「Robert M.
