#32I am sad to learn Lotfi has died. He was a friend and a frequent speaker in Stanford's EE380 Colloquium. He was a inspiring pragmatist whose fuzzy logic was understandable,explainable,functioned as expected, and quickly became incorporated into real products. The competing technology, knowledge systems, was far less transparent, slow to leave the lab, and often not as effective.

#33179371 citations and 104 h-index [1]. But what is more important is that he founded a whole epoch in AI which is a rather rare event.

#34A kind, patient mentor when I needed much kindness and patience. Dear God, who is going to clean out his office?
If he were still at MIT, that would be my wife's job; as a curator for the MIT museum she does a lot of cleaning out and cataloging objects from retiring or deceased professors offices. I'm sure she has a counterpart who will be doing the same.
