Ronald J. Williams

Ronald J. Williams is professor of computer science at Northeastern University, and one of the pioneers of neural networks. He co-authored a paper on the backpropagation algorithm which triggered a boom in neural network research.[1] He also made fundamental contributions to the fields of recurrent neural networks[2][3] and reinforcement learning.[4]
