Yager earned the honor on July 13 for “outstanding contributions to the advancement of the design, practice, techniques, or theory in biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms, including, but not limited to, neural networks, connectionist systems, evolutionary computation, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems in which these paradigms are contained,” said the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in a statement.
Fuzzy sets technology helps develop intelligent digital applications by allowing the inclusion of human-like reasoning in computer software.
“Fuzzy sets enables the construction of smarter decision-making applications in which we can take advantage of large data by combining the computer's processing speed with human understanding and comprehension,” said Dr. Yager in a statement.
The IEEE Awards Program has honored technical professionals for close to a century whose achievements and contributions have made a lasting impact on technology, society, and the engineering profession.
“I am pleased and honored to receive this highly prestigious award and I am particularly appreciative of Iona's long term continued supportive environment for my research, without which I would not have been able to achieve this honor,” said Dr. Yager in a statement.
