Bernard Widrow
Bernard Widrow (born December 24, 1929 ) is an American professor in electrical engineering at Stanford University . He delivered significant work in the field of information theory such as the quantization theorem and is co-developer of the LMS algorithm with Marcian Edward Hoff .
Widrow studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a master's degree in 1953 and a doctorate in 1956. He was at the Lincoln Laboratory of MIT and from 1956 Assistant Professor at MIT. In 1959 he became a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University. In 2010 he retired.
In 1960 he and Hoff presented the Adaline model of a neural network.
He was awarded the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal in 1986 and the Benjamin Franklin Medal in 2001.
