Piero P. Bonissone
Piero P Bonissone Analytics LLC,
USA
Dr. Bonissone is an
independent consultant specialized in the
use of analytics for
Industrial AI applications. He provides
consulting services in
machine learning (ML) analytic applications, covering project definition and
risk abatement, project evaluation, transition from development to deployment,
and model maintenance.
A former Chief Scientist at GE
Global Research (GE GR), where he
retired in 2014 after 34 years of service,
Dr. Bonissone has been a pioneer in the
field of analytics, machine learning,
fuzzy logic, AI, and soft computing
applications. Over the last decade at GE
GR, he developed multi-criteria decision making systems to support PHM
applications (prescr iptive models),
ensemble learning to reduce the variance of predictive models, and model
lifecycle automation to create, deploy,
and maintain analytic models, providing
customized performance while adapting
to avoid obsolescence.
He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE, a
Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI),

the International Fuzzy Systems Association (IFSA), and a Coolidge Fellow at
GE Global Research. He received the
2012 Fuzzy Systems Pioneer Award from
the IEEE CIS. From 2010 to 2015, he
chaired the Scientific Committee of the
European Centre for Soft Computing.
In 2008 he received the II Cajastur International Prize for Soft Computing from the
European Centre of Soft Computing. In
2005 he received the Meritorious Service
Award from the IEEE CIS. He served as
Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal
of Approximate Reasoning for 13 years. He
is in the editorial board of five technical
journals and is Editor at Large of the
IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine. He co-edited six books and has
180+ publications in refereed journals,
book chapters, and conference proceedings (by Google Scholar). He
received 74 patents issued by the US
Patent Office. From 1982 until 2005 he
was an Adjunct Professor at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, in Troy NY, where
he supervised 5 PhD theses and 34
Master theses. He co-chaired 12 scientific conferences focused on Multi-Criteria Decision-Making, Fuzzy sets,
Diagnostics, Prognostics, and Uncertainty Management in AI. In 2002, while
serving as President of the IEEE Neural
Networks Society (now IEEE CIS), he
was a member of the IEEE Technical
Activity Board. He has been an Executive Committee member of NNC/
NNS/CIS society in 1993-2012 and
