Yoav friend
Yoav Freund (born May 4, 1961 ) is an Israeli-American computer scientist .
Freund took part in the Israeli Talpiot program and studied computer science at the University of California, Santa Cruz , where he received his doctorate in 1993 under Manfred Warmuth (and David Haussler ) ( data filtering and distribution modeling algorithms for machine learning ). He is a professor at the University of California, San Diego .
In 1995 he and Robert Schapire introduced a meta-algorithm of the boosting type into machine learning, which adaptively uses other learning algorithms, evaluates them and optimizes the overall result (AdaBoost, Adaptive Boost).
He deals with applications of machine learning and statistics, for example in bioinformatics , image and signal processing. Complex image processing tasks on which he works arise in biology, for example, in the investigation of gene activities in the cells of fly embryos with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). He also explores applications of machine learning in biology in linking large amounts of experimental and database information with varying degrees of reliability.
In 2003 he received the Gödel Prize with Robert Schapire and in 2004 both received the Paris Kanellakis Prize .
