Michael E. Lesk is an American computer programmer. In the 1960s, Michael Lesk worked for the SMART project, wrote much of its retrieval code and did many of the retrieval experiments, as well as obtaining a PhD in Chemical Physics. In the 1970s, he worked at Bell Labs, in the group that built Unix. Lesk wrote Unix tools for word processing, compiling, and networking, as well as the Portable I/O Library, the predecessor to stdio. h in C.

  • Michael E. Lesk is an American computer programmer. In the 1960s, Michael Lesk worked for the SMART project, wrote much of its retrieval code and did many of the retrieval experiments, as well as obtaining a PhD in Chemical Physics. In the 1970s, he worked at Bell Labs, in the group that built Unix. Lesk wrote Unix tools for word processing, compiling, and networking, as well as the Portable I/O Library, the predecessor to stdio. h in C. In the 1980s, Lesk worked on specific information systems applications, mostly with geography (a system for driving directions) and dictionaries (a system for disambiguating words in context), as well as running a research group at Bellcore. In the 1990s, Lesk worked on a large chemical information system, the CORE project, with Cornell, OCLC, ACS and CAS. At the National Science Foundation, he administrated the Digital Library Initiative phase 1 (DLI-1, 1994–1997), which provided funding for Stanford University's research project in search engines that led to the foundation of Google. From 1998 to 2002, Lesk headed NSF's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems. Currently, he is on the faculty of the Library and Information Science Department, SCILS (School of Communication, Information, and Library Studies), Rutgers University. Lesk received the Flame award for lifetime achievement from Usenix in 1994, is a Fellow of the ACM, and in 2005 was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.
  • Michael E. Lesk est informaticien américain. Les années 1960, Mike Lesk travailla pour le projet SMART, écrivant beaucoup de son code de retrouvage et faisant plusieurs des expériences de retrouvage, néanmoins obtenant son doctorat en physique chimique. Les années 1970 il travailla à Bell Labs dans le groupe qui a créé Unix. Lesk a écrit des outils Unix pour traitement de texte (tbl et refer), analyse lexical et réseautage. Les années 1980 Lesk travailla sur les applications systèmes d'information spécifiques, globalement avec géographie (un système pour diriger les conducteurs) et avec dictionnaires (un système pour résoudre l'homonymie en contexte) aussitôt qu'il mena un groupe de recherche à Bellcore. Les années 1990 Lesk travailla sur un système grand des informations chimiques nommée le projet éCORE, avec l'université Cornell, OCLC, ACS et la CAS. A la National Science Foundation, il gesta phase 1 du Digital Library Initiative phase 1 (DLI-1, 1994-1997), qui pourvut les fonds pour le projet moteurs de recherche de Stanford University qui mena à la fondation de Google. Les années 1998 à 2002, Lesk fut chef de la Division of Information and Intelligent Systems de la NSF. Actuellement il travaille comme professeur au département des sciences des bibliothèques et de l'information (SCILS, School of Communication, Information, and Library Studies) à Rutgers University. En 1994 Lesk reçut le prix Flame de Usenix pour achèvements de toute la vie, et il est collègue de l'Association for Computing Machinery. En 2005 Lesk fut élu au National Academy of Engineering.
