Biography[]
Loui was a leading advocate of defeasible reasoning in artificial intelligence (see also argument and argumentation theory) and a leading proponent of scripting languages.
He was co-patentor of a deep packet inspection hardware device that could read and edit the contents of packets as they stream through a network.[5] This was a key technology sought by the DARPA Information Awareness Office and Disruptive Technology Office under Total Information Awareness. Loui also consulted on Cyc, a famous Artificial Intelligence program devised by Doug Lenat.
Loui organized the first Harvard internet alumni club and built a citation-based search engine (for legal opinions) in the early 1990s.[6]
He earned his Ph.D. under Henry E. Kyburg, and spent postdoctoral time at Stanford under Patrick Suppes and Amos Tversky.[6]
Professor Loui supervised students in a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program that produced several current professors of computing, and the author of the original Google search engine.
Professor Loui is currently teaching at the prestigious Case Western Reserve University.
