Richard M. Friedberg (born October 8, 1935) is a theoretical physicist who has contributed to a wide variety of problems in mathematics and physics. These include mathematical logic, number theory, solid state physics, general relativity,[1] particle physics, quantum optics, genome research, and the foundations of quantum physics.[2]

He has been recognized as a pioneer in machine learning since he wrote on "A learning machine" in 1958. IEEE Neural Networks Society awarded him in 2004, commenting

Today. Friedberg’s initial words from 1958 “Machines would be more useful if they could learn to perform tasks for which they were not given precise methods” are the coin of the realm in computational intelligence. Entire disciplines of evolutionary computation are devoted to problems in automatic programming. Friedberg’s early work truly was a seminal contribution.[3]
