Pedro Domingos is a Professor Emeritus[3] of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington.[2] He is a researcher in machine learning known for Markov logic network enabling uncertain inference.[4][5]
Education[]
Domingos received an undergraduate degree and Master of Science degree from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).[6] He moved to the University of California, Irvine, where he received a Master of Science degree and followed by PhD.[6]
Research and career[]
After spending two years as an assistant professor at IST, he joined the University of Washington as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering in 1999 and became a full professor in 2012.[7] He started a machine learning research group at the hedge fund D. E. Shaw & Co. in 2018,[8] but left in 2019.[9]
In 2021, Domingo drew criticism for engaging in arguments on Twitter and for dismissing the research and activism of multiple AI ethicists, most notably Timnit Gebru and Anima Anandkumar.[10][11][12]
