Machine learning in biology: a profile of David Haussler

This paper helped initiate the integration of a branch of machine learning theory with machine learning practice, according to Carnegie Mellon´s Tom Mitchell, a world-renowned machine learning researcher and past president of the AAAI. Haussler´s paper helped introduce the AI community to PAC (probably approximately correct) learning - then a new line of theoretical work - and linked it with ongoing AI work in machine learning.
