Biography
Moshe Sipper is a professor of artificial intelligence at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (Israel), with degrees in computer science from the Technion (B.A.) and Tel Aviv University (M.Sc., Ph.D.). He was a senior researcher at the EPFL (Switzerland) and a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania (USA). His research spans deep learning, machine learning, AI, and evolutionary computation, with earlier work in bio-inspired computing, cellular computing, artificial life, robotics, and more. He has authored nearly 220 scientific publications, several books, and has supervised close to 40 graduate students. He has served as associate editor for myriad journals, organizer of sundry conferences, member of close to 150 conference program committees, and reviewer for nearly 50 journals and funding agencies. A noted figure in AI, Dr. Sipper has won multiple awards — including an IEEE Outstanding Paper Award and an EPFL Latsis Prize — and is recognized among the top 2% of scientists globally. Dr. Sipper is also a fiction author, cartoonist, and occasional singer.
A little perspective. That's it. I'd like some fresh, clear, well-seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that?
