MARY KENNETH KELLER

(First Person to Earn a Ph.D. in Computer Science in the United States)

In the United States, Mary Kenneth Keller became the first woman to receive a PhD in computer science in 1965. In Ohio, she had made vows to become a religious sister of the Roman Catholic faith. She then began working in the computer center at Dartmouth College. She developed the fundamental programming language. Sister Keller was aware that computers could make information available to everyone. "It's certainly obvious that information is of no use unless it's available," she stated. "We’re having an explosion of information, among other things. "She established the computing department at Clarke College in Iowa, which she led for twenty years. Her goal was to promote education and expand access to information. She worked tirelessly for the advancement of women in computing. The Keller Computer Center is the name given to Clarke College's computer center in her honor.

The method of converting computer code's zeros and ones into something more interesting and straightforward is called basic. 

The work that Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix has been doing to increase the number of women participating in computer science, inspired by Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, has recently received recognition from the college board.

Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning

  Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning  The roots of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are deep, tracing back to the mid-20th century. Alan Turing, a notable figure in the development of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, posed the question "Can machines think?" back in 1950. This ignited the spark that fuelled decades of innovation. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, the first academic conference of its kind. Machine Learning, on the other hand, made its debut in the late '50s when Arthur Samuel developed a program that could learn to play checkers. Fast forward to the 21st century, we've witnessed the evolution from rule-based systems to machines that can learn from vast datasets and even from their own experiences. The milestones are numerous, from IBM's Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 to the advent of deep learning w...
