Dr. Gheorghe Tecuci is Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Learning Agents Center at George Mason University (http://lac.gmu.edu), member of the Romanian Academy, and former chair of Artificial Intelligence at the U.S. Army War College. He has followed a career-long interest in the advancement of a computational theory and technology for the development of cognitive assistants that learn complex problem-solving expertise directly from human experts, support experts and non-experts in problem solving and decision making, and teach their problem-solving expertise to students. This theory has recently been extended with a computational theory of evidence-based reasoning, and has been employed in the development of powerful cognitive assistants for intelligence analysis. He has published over 190 papers and has recently co-authored two books, “Knowledge Engineering: Building Personal Learning Assistants for Evidence-based Reasoning,” and “Intelligence Analysis as Discovery of Evidence, Hypotheses, and Arguments: Finding and Connecting the Dots.”
