| PRODUCT & SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE |
| Designed
& trained a neural network for optical character recognition of
handwritten digits that was used in NCR's automated bank check
processing machines. See MCC's newsletter Collaborations. |
| Designed
& developed the automated data analysis component of InfoSleuth's
agent-based data gathering and analysis system in Java, including
the Analysis Agent Shell and three specializations of it. The Deviation Detection Agent monitors streams of data, forms expectations of upcoming values, and automatically reports to subscribers significant deviations of new values from the expectation. The Association Mining Agent periodically executes an association mining algorithm on batch data and automatically makes the resulting probabilities data available in a database to be used in probabilistic reasoning tasks. The Neural Network Agent develops a classification model of incoming data that can then be used in an online fashion to classify new incoming data. See InfoSleuth Page. |
| Designed
& developed the software and neural networks associated with my
computational model of the visual encoding learning associated with
becoming a fluent reader. see Encoder Page. |
| LEADERSHIP / PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE |
| Managed and made technical contributions to a $100k DOD contract for developing an Arabic optical character recognition system. |
| As MCC's other funding was drying up, attracted and managed a $125K contract applying MCC's InfoSleuth technology to automated DNA sequence handling for the USDA Meat Animal Research Center. |
| Served as Quality Assurance Specialist for a Motorola project "hardening" the InfoSleuth software originally developed at MCC. |
 |
|
|
|
|
| Championed initiation of neural net research MCC by giving over 100 presentations to technical staff and sponsors (NCR, Kodak, Eastman Chemicals, Digital, Control Data and DoD) leading to $1 M funding and rapid technology transfer to sponsors' product development efforts. |
|
| As Team Leader of the MCC Human Interface Program's Interactive Worksurface Project, convinced the 40-person HI team to develop a common "demo" centered around pen-based computing, resulting in high satisfaction ratings by project sponsors, and national awareness of our user interface work. |
|
|
|
| Completed over 200 hours of training in the Software Production Process through Motorola University. |
