Jacek Karpiński (born 1927 in Turin) is a pioneer in computer engineering and computer science, soldier of Batalion Zo¶ka during the Warsaw Uprising. He is responsible for the construction of the first transistor-based differential analyzer and for the development of one of the first machine learning algorithms and techniques for character and image recognition. He is also the designer of one of the first minicomputers, the K-202. Because of the policy on computer development in the People's Republic of Poland around that time, it was never mass produced. He founded the Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence of the Polish Academy of Sciences in the early 1960s

According to following wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-202

"Approximately 30 units were produced. The later production was halted as it was not in line with the ES EVM (Unified System of Electronic Computers in the Soviet Union) causing the inventor to emigrate."


Thanks for the info. Had never heard of him before.
