A. Harry Klopf, an American senior scientist for machine intelligence, since the early 70s affiliated with the Avionics Directorate, Wright Laboratory and Air Force Research Laboratory, Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. His research focused on reinforcement learning, and adaptive behavior as approaches to the analysis of natural intelligence and the synthesis of machine intelligence. Temporal difference learning has one root in Klopf's work on animal learning psychology - beside Arthur Samuel's pioneering work on his self learning Checkers player in the late 50s.
