Amnon Lotem

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amnon Lotem is an Israeli computer scientist.

Lotem graduated from Tel Aviv University with a bachelor's and master's degree and received his PhD in 2000 from Dana Nau at the University of Maryland ( GraphHTN: Combining Planning Graphs and HTN Planning ). He then worked for various Israeli software companies as head of algorithm research, CTO and senior scientist. Since 2002 he has been with Skybox Security, a network security company, where he became CTO in 2010. Before that he was at Amdocs, Technomatix Technologies and was co-founder of Estimotion Ltd. In 2014 he and Ronald Fagin and Moni Naor received the Gödel Prize for their article Optimal Aggregation Algorithms for Middleware , in which they presented their threshold algorithm . It is used in the search for optimal solutions for systems that get information from many different sources, especially in the area of middleware , information retrieval and machine learning . It then provides an efficient method of generating a top list of search results from the various data sources. They also introduced the instance optimality criterion and showed that the threshold algorithm fulfills this property.

He deals with artificial intelligence , modeling and simulation techniques.
