Jürgen Schmidhuber is a computer scientist who works in the field of artificial intelligence. He is a co-director of the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research in Manno, in Ticino in southern Switzerland.
Schmidhuber did his undergraduate studies at Technische Universität München in Munich, Germany. He taught there from 2004 until 2009, when he became a professor of artificial intelligence at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, Switzerland.
In 1997 Schmidhuber and Sepp Hochreiter published a paper on a type of recurrent neural network which they called long short-term memory or LSTM. In 2015 this was used in a new implementation of speech recognition in Google's software for smartphones.
Also in 1997, Schmidhuber published a paper entitled a "computer scientist's view of life, the universe, and everything," which addressed Konrad Zuse's 1967 assumption that the history of the universe is computable.
In 2014, Schmidhuber formed a company, Nnaisense, to work on commercial applications of artificial intelligence in fields such as finance, heavy industry and self-driving cars. Sepp Hochreiter and Jaan Tallinn are advisers to the company.
Schmidhuber received the Helmholtz Award of the International Neural Networks Society in 2013, and the Neural Networks Pioneer Award of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society in 2016.
