E. Mark Gold

E. Mark Gold (often written "E Mark Gold" without a dot,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] born January 25, 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 Rochester University.[22]:151[7]:302 In 1991, he published from Oakland.[8]:25
