E. Mark Gold

E. Mark Gold (often written "E Mark Gold" without a dot,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] born 1936 in Los Angeles)[9]: vi  is an American physicist, mathematician, and computer scientist. He became well known for his article Language identification in the limit[10][2] which pioneered a formal model for inductive inference of formal languages, mainly by computers. Since 1999, an award of the conference on Algorithmic learning theory is named after him.[11][12]

Academic education

In 1956, he got a B.S. in mathematics from the California Institute of Technology, in 1958, he got a M.S. in physics from Princeton University.[9]: vi  In Jan 1965, got his Ph.D. from UCLA, supervised by Abraham Robinson.[13][9]: i [14][3]: 403 

Scientific career

In 1962 and 1963, he worked at Unified Science Associates, Pasadena, on physics problems.[15][16]: 695 [17] About in 1963, he turned to mathematics,[16]: 695  working for Lear Siegler,[16]: 695 [18]: 48 [3]: 395  the RAND Corporation,[10][2]: 447  Stanford University,[1] the Institute for Formal Studies, Los Angeles,[2]: 447  and the Oregon Research Institute.[19]: 731  About in 1973, he moved to Montreal University[20]: 621 [19]: 731 [4][5][6][7]: 302 [21]: 320  and about 1977 to University of Rochester.[22]: 151 [7]: 302  In 1991, he published from Oakland.[8]: 25
