Chuck Rieger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles J. "Chuck" Rieger III is an American computer scientist.

Rieger received his doctorate in computer science under Roger Schank at Stanford University in 1974 (Conceptual memory. A theory and computer program for processing the meaning content of natural language utterances). In 1974 he became an assistant professor at the University of Maryland and from 1979 to 1982 he was an associate professor there. From 2003 he was Adjunct Professor.

He was co-founder, chairman and CTO of SCION Corporation in 1977 (until 1984), and in 1984 co-founder and CTO of Vidar Systems Corp. (until 1987), 1987 co-founder and CEO of Images Machines Corporation (until 1999) and 1999 co-founder and CTO of eQuorum Corporation.

In 1976 he was visiting professor at the MIT AI Lab.

He did research on representation and understanding of natural languages, causal modeling and problem solving, and applied AI knowledge systems.

At the end of the 1970s he and Mark Weiser at the University of Maryland built ZMOB, an early parallel computer made of commercially available microprocessors in the nodes (128 Z-80 processors).

In 1975 he received the IJCAI Computers and Thought Award .
