From what I could find, the names are

* Chao-Kong Chow
* Chao-Ning Liu

I found the second from [this IEEE note](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=5391046), which links Chao-Ning Liu to IBM Thomas .J. Watson (which he joined in 1957). Then, a search for patents gave the name of C.K. Chow.

C.K. Chow's name is also stated in [this paper by O'Donnell and Servedio](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7Eodonnell/papers/chow-params.pdf) on The Chow Parameters Problem (see abstract).

And since a comment also asked for the full name of L. F. Kozachenko (of the Kozachenko-Leonenko entropy estimate fame), here it is: Lyudmyla Fedoryvna Kozachenko.
