We are registered in the Chinese-English Large Data track.

Details are to follow, along with sources of our implementations as they become suitable for experimental use.

My statistical machine translation reading group at Kansas State University has a weekly seminar consisting of one of my Ph.D. students (Waleed Al-Jandal) and two of my M.S. students (pnvtejaswi and masaga).

Here's the reading list for fall, 2005. The tentative presenters are listed, and this page will become the calendar for the group. I'll post mirrors and citations on a more detailed page later.

Edit, 03:30 CST Fri 09 Sep 2005: The local mirror is up.

Is anyone planning to attend the International Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI-2005) from 26-29 Jul 2005 or the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-2005) from 30 Jul 2005 - 05 Aug 2005, in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK?

I was thinking that we should organize a LiveJournal Meetup for the conference, if there is any interest.

Hello there

I'm an IT student (FCUL/UL), AI branch, from Portugal.
My main interests are artificial language/comunication, cooperative strategies and group behavior.
I mostly do agent based computing and I'm also a member of a portuguese Robocup rescue Team (5Rings).

Hope to find great debates here ;)

Cheers
