Ronald Prescott Loui is an American computer scientist and adjunct professor of computer science at Case Western Reserve University. He previously taught at Washington University in St. Louis and University of Illinois Springfield.
Biography
Loui grew up in Hawaii where he was a classmate of Barack Obama at Punahou School.[1][2]
Loui earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard University in applied mathematics in 1982, where his undergraduate thesis won an ACM award.[3]
Loui completed a Ph.D. advised by Henry E. Kyburg Jr., at the University of Rochester and completed a postdoc at Stanford (1987-1988) under Patrick Suppes and Amos Tversky.[4] His doctoral work was cited in Judea Pearl's Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems, while referring to economists John Harsanyi and Daniel Kahneman.[5]
From 1988 to 2008, he was a professor of computer science at Washington University in St. Louis in the McKelvey School of Engineering.[6] He was also associated with multiple departments outside of engineering.[7][8]While at Washington University, he built a reference class-based statistical reasoner (rd), programs that could reason argumentatively (nathan, lmnop), a social network for Harvard alumni (hserver), and a citation-based search engine for legal opinions (room5), with students in the early 1990s.[4] Script error: No such module "Unsubst". After leaving Washington University in 2008, he worked as a full-time consultant for several years. He co-founded the disinformation-detection startup Peak Metrics after several years doing similar research for US intelligence and defense, and now teaches as an adjunct faculty member at Case Western Reserve University.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Loui has published papers on defeasible reasoning in artificial intelligence[9] and he is a proponent of scripting languages.[10] He is co-patent holder of a deep packet inspection hardware device that could read and edit the contents of packets as they stream through a network.[11] This technology was sought by the DARPA Information Awareness Office and Disruptive Technology Office under Total Information Awareness. Loui also consulted for Cyc, a well-known artificial intelligence program created by Douglas Lenat.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
