Henry A. Kautz (born 1956) is a computer scientist, Founding Director of Institute for Data Science and Professor at University of Rochester. He is interested in knowledge representation, artificial intelligence, data science and pervasive computing. [4]
Kautz was born in 1956 in Youngstown, Ohio. [5]
Kautz entered the Case Institute of Technology in 1974, then a year later, transferred to Cornell University and got his B.A. in English and in mathematics in 1978 there. [5] He wrote plays during a one-year fellowship creative writing program at Johns Hopkins University and got an M.A. by the Writing Seminars in 1980. [5] As a foreign student supported by the Connaught Fellowship, he enrolled at University of Toronto in 1980. [5] Kautz completed his master thesis A First-Order Dynamic Logic for Planning under the supervision of C. Raymond Perrault, and then received his M.S. in computer science in 1982. [5] Before receiving his Ph.D. from University of Rochester in 1987 he was a teaching assistant for Patrick Hayes and a teaching assistant and research assistant for his thesis advisor James F. Allen. [5] His PhD thesis was titled A Formal Theory of Plan Recognition (1987). [5] [6]
Kautz was a professor of Computer Science at University of Washington (2000-2006) after worked at AT&T Bell Labs and AT&T Laboratories. He is now[ when?] Professor at University of Rochester and Founding Director of Institute for Data Science after worked as a director of Intelligent Systems at Kodak Research Laboratories (2006-2007). [7]
Kautz works on wide areas ranging from planning, knowledge representation and artificial Intelligence to data mining, human computation and crowdsourcing, ubiquitous computing, wearable computers, assistive technology and health. [8]
