tolerance, and personal warmth that he contributed to their success . Mike was a hero of the AI community; he got talented and difficult people to work together to realize great ideas. As others have said, he will be missed by many of us, personally and
professionally, and he will be long remembered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
