About Dr. Golden

Richard M. Golden, Ph.D., M.S.E.E., B.S.E.E.

Dr. Richard M. Golden obtained the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Communication Systems from the University of California of San Diego in 1982. He received the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Statistical Pattern Recognition from Brown University in 1986, and Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology with a specialization in Cognitive Science from Brown University in 1987. Dr. Golden was an Andrew Mellon Fellow at the University of Pittsburgh from 1987-1988, and an NIH Post-doctoral Scholar at Stanford University from 1988-1990.

Over the past three decades, Dr. Richard M. Golden has published scientific articles and given presentations on the following topics.

  • When does a learning machine really understand its environment?
  • How will a learning machine behave in a new situation?
  • If a learning machine has a misconception about its world, what can we say about the learning machine’s behavior in new situations?
  • Which learning machine is most appropriate for a particular environment?

Dr. Richard M. Golden has also collaborated with other scientists and engineers on a variety of problems in the area of artificial intelligence including:  predictions of medical conditions and epidemiological data analysis, automated document clustering, automated detection of software programming errors, automated smart antenna signal processing applications, automated circuit design, and automated aircraft landing.

Currently, Dr. Richard M. Golden is a full-time Professor of Cognitive Science and Electrical Engineering  

Dr. Richard M. Golden was a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Mathematical Psychology from 1996-2011, a member of the Editorial Board of Neural Processing Letters from 1999-2004, a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Applied Intelligence from 2001-2004, and a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Neural Networks from 1995-2006.  During the time period, 2002-2017, Dr. Richard M. Golden was Secretary-Treasurer of the Society for Mathematical Psychology which is an international society concerned with the development of formal mathematical models of human and animal behavior.

Dr. Richard M. Golden is the author of the book Statistical Machine Learning: A unified framework, has published over 75 articles in scientific journals in the areas of theoretical statistical machine learning, and  statistical machine learning applications,  has given over 78 presentations at international scientific conferences, and is the co-inventor of three U.S. patents.
