Bernard Widrow (born December 24, 1929) is a U.S. professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University. [1] He is the co-inventor of the Widrow–Hoff least mean squares filter (LMS) adaptive algorithm with his then doctoral student Ted Hoff. [2]
Between research, decade-long collaborations (such as that with John McCool on adaptive filtering and applications), and teaching, he finds balance by enjoying opera, symphony, and ballet; collecting art; going to museums; and watching movies.
Bernard Widrow, Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, is a pioneer in the field of adaptive signal processing. Adaptive systems have the ability to learn and improve their behavior through interaction with their environments.

The first step toward artificial neural networks came in 1943 when Warren McCulloch, a neurophysiologist and a young mathematician, Walter Pitts, developed the first models of neural networks. They wrote a paper The Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity on how neurons might work . Their networks were based on simple elements wh...
In 1958, Rosenblatt a psychologist, conducted an early work on perceptrons . The Perceptron was an electronic device that was constructed in accordance with biological principles and showed an ability to learn. He also wrote an early book on neurocomputing, Principles of Neurodynamics . Another system was the ADALINE (ADAptive LInear Element) which...
Following an initial period of enthusiasm, the field survived a period of frustration and disgrace. In 1969 Minsky and Papert wrote a book Perceptrons: An Introduction to Computational Geometry . It was a part of a campaign to discredit neural network research showing a number of fundamental problems, and in which they generalized the limitations o...
In 1980s several events caused a renewed interest. Kohonen has made many contributions to the field of artificial neural networks. He introduced the artificial neural network sometimes called a Kohonen map or network . Hopfield of Caltech in 1982 presented a paper Neural Networks and Physical Systems with Emergent Collective Computational Abilities...
Significant progress has been made in the field of neural networks - enough to attract a great deal of attention and fund further research. Today, neural networks discussions are occurring everywhere. Advancement beyond the current commercial applications appears to be possible, and research is advancing the field on many fronts. Chips based on the...

In 1959, Bernard Widrow and Marcian Hoff of Stanford developed models called "ADALINE" and "MADALINE." In a typical display of Stanford's love for acronymns, the names come from their use of Multiple ADAptive LINear Elements.
