Draft:Gabriele Scheler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NPROF) but presently it is not clear that it does.
    As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
    Please note that many of the references are written by the subject (Scheler) rather than about her. TO establish notability 9as defined) requires reliable sources about her.
    Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not.
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NPROF criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    You may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere. Cabrils (talk) 03:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Gabriele Dorothea Scheler (born 1960 in Göttingen) is a German-American computer scientist and neuroscientist.

Research Interests[edit]

Scheler pioneered neural network research on linguistic semantics and grammatical categories.[1], and developed a novel approach for classification based on adaptive distance measures[2]. She later worked on neuroscience topics such as neuromodulation, synchronization, intrinsic properties and internal protein signaling. She investigated the lognormal distributions of intrinsic frequencies and synaptic strengths and analyzed their significance for localist memory[3]. She also invented a method for calculating dose-response matrices in protein signaling pathways with applications for drug development[4]

Career[edit]

Her work has centered on neural network research[2], natural language processing[1], and computational neuroscience[5]. Her academic career took place at the LMU Munich, (M.A. 1985, Ph.D. 1989), TU Munich (1995-1998), Salk Institute (1998-2001), UC Berkeley (2001-2004), and Stanford University (2005-2010). From 1988 until 1995 she worked intensely on problems in artificial intelligence, first with the company Digital Equipment, then at the Institute for Computational Linguistics in Heidelberg and the Max_Planck_Institute_of_Biochemistry in Munich. Subsequently she became interested in neuroscience, and has since followed a career in computational neuroscience. At Stanford she organized the Biological Modelling Club, a dedicated group of researchers in mathematical and computational biology. She is co-founder of the Carl Correns Foundation for Mathematical Biology[6], founded 2011 in Mountain View, California.

Coma Experience[edit]

Gabriele Scheler developed a brain disorder in her early twenties, caused by a two-week coma in Berkeley 1983, probably induced by deliberate poisoning. A doctoral scholarship for Stanford University had to be declined because of this sudden illness. Her experience as a patient contributed to her resolve to investigate computational neuroscience problems with a view of later medical applications.

Early Life and Education[edit]

Gabriele Scheler grew up in Goettingen, as the daughter of Fritz Scheler, and Elisabeth Scheler née Correns, the daughter of Carl Wilhelm Correns, who had a formative influence on his granddaughter. Her family includes Erich Correns (Maler) [de], Carl Erich Correns, Emil Ballowitz [de], Hugo Pernice [de], Erich Pernice, Erich Correns, Werner Scheler, Max Scheler. She graduated from Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium_(Göttingen) [de] as valedictorian three years early in 1977. After a year at the University of Tübingen, she moved to the Institute for logic and scientific theory at the LMU Munich, where she also did her Ph.D. She married in 1991 and had a son in 1995. Since 1998 she has lived in California, first in San Diego, and then in Mountain View.
