P\u00e9ter \u00c9rdi<\/strong>, K\u2019s Henry R. Luce Professor of Complex Systems Studies, served as the Program Chair for the 2013 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), the premier international conference in the area of neural networks theory, analysis, and application. This year\u2019s IJCNN was held in Dallas, Texas and was attended by more than 500 people.<\/p>\n

Professor \u00c9rdi, who teaches in K\u2019s departments of Physics<\/a> and Psychology<\/a>, was also one of three chairs of the Organizing Committee to receive the Outstanding Service Award from the International Neural Network Society<\/a> and the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers<\/a> Computational Intelligence Society, the two leading professional organizations for researchers working in neural networks.<\/p>\n

He joined other big names in neural research who received awards at the conference, including Stephen Grossberg (Boston University), considered by many in the field to be the father\/inventor of adaptive resonance theory; Terry Sejnowski\u00a0 (University California at San Diego) who works on President Obama\u2019s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies initiative, which is being compared to the Human Genome Project and the moon landing initiative; and Frank Lewis, a Distinguished Professor at University of Texas Arlington Research Institute who received the IEEE Pioneer in Neural Networks Award for his work in bringing together optimal and adaptive control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This year\u2019s IJCNN was held in Dallas, Texas and was attended by more than 500 people.<\/p>\n<p>Professor \u00c9rdi, who teaches in K\u2019s departments of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/programs\/?id=25\">Physics<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/programs\/?id=27\">Psychology<\/a>, was also one of three chairs of the Organizing Committee to receive the Outstanding Service Award from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inns.org\/\">International Neural Network Society<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ieee.org\/index.html?WT.mc_id=hpf_logo\">Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers<\/a> Computational Intelligence Society, the two leading professional organizations for researchers working in neural networks.<\/p>\n<p>He joined other big names in neural research who received awards at the conference, including Stephen Grossberg (Boston University), considered by many in the field to be the father\/inventor of adaptive resonance theory; Terry Sejnowski\u00a0 (University California at San Diego) who works on President Obama\u2019s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies initiative, which is being compared to the Human Genome Project and the moon landing initiative; and Frank Lewis, a Distinguished Professor at University of Texas Arlington Research Institute who received the IEEE Pioneer in Neural Networks Award for his work in bringing together optimal and adaptive control.<\/p>\n","comment_info":"No Comments","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/147"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3580"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3580\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9932,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3580\/revisions\/9932"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3580"},{"taxonomy":"post_format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_formats?post=3580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
