Felix Gers is a professor of computer science at Berlin University of Applied Sciences Berlin.[1] With Jürgen Schmidhuber and Fred Cummins, he introduced the forget gate to the long short-term memory recurrent neural network architecture.[2][3] This modification of the original[4] architecture has been shown to be crucial to the success of the LSTM at such tasks as speech and handwriting recognition.[3]
