Professor Leonard Uhr was an American computer scientist, and one of the early pioneers in computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, and cognitive science. He was quite an expert in many aspects of human neurophysiology and perception, and a central theme of much of his research was to design artificial intelligence systems based on his understanding of how the human brain works. He was one of the early proponents of incorporation into artificial intelligence algorithms, methods for dealing with uncertainty. ...more on Wikipedia about "Leonard Uhr"

Oliver Selfridge, grandson of the founder of Selfridges' department stores, has been called the "Father of Machine Perception." He wrote important early papers on neural networks and pattern recognition and machine learning, and his "Pandemonium" paper (1959) is generally recognized as a classic in artificial intelligence. In it, Selfridge introduced the notion of "demons" that record events as they occur, recognize patterns in those events, and may trigger subsequent events according to patterns they recognize. Over time, this idea gave rise to Aspect-oriented programming. ...more on Wikipedia about "Oliver Selfridge"
