Dr. Hava Siegelmann
Affiliation University of Massachusetts Amherst Department of Computer Science MA,USA.
Topic Neural & Learning System |
Short Biography Dr. Hava Siegelmann earned a Ph.D. from Rutgers University, an M.S. from The Hebrew University, and a B.A. from Technion, all in computer science. Her academic distinctions include the Rutgers Doctoral Fellowship of Excellence. In 2015, the National Institutes of Health named Siegelmann one of 16 presidential BRAIN Initiative awardees for her work on energy- constrained brain activation. She is the 2016 recipient of the Hebb Award of the International Neural Network Society as well as the 2017-9 IEEE distinguished lecturer. Dr. Siegelmann also serves as a core member of the university’s Neuroscience and Behavior program and of the BINDS lab (Biologically Inspired Neural and Dynamical Systems), focused on biological learning mechanisms. She co-originated “support vector clustering” with Vladimir Vapnik, which has become one of the most widely used clustering algorithms in industry. She also created a sub-field of computation with her discovery of Super-Turing computation. |
