James C. Bezdek
Also known as Jim Bezdek, Jim C. Bezdek
James C. Bezdek is a mathematician and computer scientist known for the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Cornell awarded him a PhD in applied mathematics in 1973, and in 1981 he published Pattern Recognition with Fuzzy Objective Function Algorithms. In 1987 he became founding editor of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, a journal in artificial intelligence. He received the IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award in 2007, is a past president of NAFIPS, IFSA and the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and is Nystul Professor emeritus at the University of West Florida.
