Fuzzy Logic & Information Retrieval

Donald Kraft, IEEE Life Fellow, Professor Emeritus LSU, is one of Pikes Peak Section most eminent members.  Don't miss the opportunity to hear story.  Just a few slots left.  Also enjoy our networking session to get to know our Computer Society and Life Members.

Don will tell us his Life History on how he started in Industrial Engineering, took a turn into Computer Science and ended up a LIfe Fellow of the IEEE.  Along the way, he literally wrote the book(s) on Fuzzy Logic and Information Retrieval.  Expect that along the way, he will inform us about what Fuzzy Logic is (it’s a little Fuzzy to me) and how it’s applies to Information Retrieval.
