From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacek Karpiński (born 1927 in Turin) is a pioneer in computer engineering and computer science. He is responsible for the construction of the first transistor-based differential analyzer and for the development of one of the first machine learning algorithms and techniques for character and image recognition. He is also the designer of one of the first minicomputers, the K-202. Because of the policy on computer development in the People's Republic of Poland around that time, it was never mass produced. He founded the Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence of the Polish Academy of Sciences in the early 1960s.
