The International Neural Network Society (INNS) is honoring Kalamazoo College Luce Professor of Complex Systems Studies<\/a> P\u00e9ter \u00c9rdi with a promotion to its College of Fellows<\/a>, providing him with the highest grade of membership in the organization and recognition of his exceptional achievements in the field of neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial neural networks are a set of algorithms, inspired by functions found in the human brain, that recognize patterns. Such systems learn to perform tasks by considering examples through processes such as image recognition. The networks might learn about those images to identify similar images, then label them and organize them. The INNS gathers global experts interested in neural networks as they seek to develop new and more effective forms of machine intelligence. Fellows of the society are elected by the INNS Board of Governors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9rdi received the 2018 Florence J. Lucasse Fellowship for Excellence in Scholarship<\/a>, the highest award bestowed by K\u2019s faculty, which honors the recipient\u2019s contributions in creative work, research and publication. He was also recently recognized by a group of alumni from the Class of 2009 who initiated an Interdisciplinary Fund for Complex Systems Studies<\/a> in \u00c9rdi\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9rdi has dozens of publications from his time at K, including two books since 2019, Ranking: The Hidden Rules of the Social Game We All Play<\/em><\/a> and Repair: When and How to Improve Broken Objects, Ourselves and Our Society<\/a><\/em>. He also recently finished another book due out in November, Feedback Control: How to Destroy or Save the World<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>and\u00a0has served the University of Michigan as a visiting professor and scholar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have received the two most significant recognitions of my life this year, and they come from two separate communities,\u201d \u00c9rdi said. \u201cThe Interdisciplinary Fund for Complex Systems Studies was established by my former students, and I have been voted to be a Fellow by my peers from the neural network community. I am not sure I deserved it since the majority of the fellows are the giant pioneers of the field. I mention just three names: Shun-ichi Amari, Stephen Grossberg and the late Teuvo Kohonen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
