Michael (Mike) Bain, a computer scientist and senior lecturer at School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of New South Wales in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. His research interests include machine learning, inductive logic programming, behavioural cloning, concept analysis and bioinformatics. =Learning KRK= In 1994, Michael Bain defended his Ph.D. thesis in machine learning at University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, titled Learning Logical Exceptions in Chess which covers the endgame KRK. Donald Michie had employed him at the Turing Institute, until 1993 associated with Strathclyde, to work on the US Army chess project, and where he researched on machine learning along with Jean Hayes Michie, Stephen Muggleton and Ivan Bratko.
