Short biography
Having taken his B.S. in 1951 from Brooklyn College,[1] Gelernter received his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester in 1957.[4][5]
Gelernter's extended visit to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1960/61, while he was developing a prototype of his 'vidicon' (a system which dispensed with film, and used a television-camera tube to record a spark-chamber event and store it as digitized data on magnetic tape) stimulated the development of a data-handling system for spark chambers in early 1961.[6]
During his time at IBM, he wrote some of the first artificial intelligence software[7]—his "geometry theorem machine"[8][9] was the first advanced AI program, and the third AI program ever.[10] It is a logical AI system that can prove theorems in planar geometry about parallel lines, congruence, and equality and inequality of segments and angles. Like Logic Theorist, it uses heuristics.
He implemented, with Nathaniel Rochester, a computer language for list processing within FORTRAN.[11] The work for this was done with Carl Gerberich at IBM, to this end producing the Fortran list processing language (FLPL).[12]
His most ambitious project during his tenure at Stony Brook University was the SYNCHEM expert problem-solving system for the discovery of potential routes to the total synthesis of organic molecules through a self-guided intelligent search and application of its large knowledge base of graph transforms, rules and sophisticated heuristics representing generalized organic reactions organized around recognized functional groups.
In 1952, Gelernter married Ruth, a daughter of rabbi Theodore Norton Lewis.[13][14] His sons are the geneticist and Yale professor Joel Gelernter and the computer scientist and social commentator David Gelernter, also a Yale professor.[15] His daughter Judith is a research scientist in the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.Шаблон:Citation needed
