Paper accepted to Intelligent User Interfaces 2014
David Joyner and Ashok Goel have had a paper accepted to the 2014 Intelligent User Interfaces conference in Haifa, Israel. The paper is titled MILA-S: Generation of agent-based simulations from conceptual models.
David Joyner passes dissertation proposal
David Joyner successfully presented the proposal for his dissertation titled Metacognitive Tutoring for Inquiry-Driven Modeling.
Successful completion of MILA deployment
Over the past three weeks, over 250 students at a local middle school have used MILA to explore a recent massive fish kill in Lake Clara Meer. This experiment builds on the pilot study run in the summer of 2012.
PAIP-Python
Python implementations of some of the classic AI programs from Peter Norvig’s fantastic textbook “Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming.”
Visit the main PAIP-Python site here.
This is meant to be a learning resource for beginning AI programmers. Although PAIP is a fantastic book, it is no longer common for students to have a background in Lisp programming, as many universities have replaced Lisp with other languages in introductory programming and introductory artificial intelligence courses. It is my hope that making the programs from PAIP available in a commonly-taught language will provide a useful hands-on resource for beginning AI students.
These programs were written by Daniel Connelly at Georgia Tech as an independent project supervised by Professor Ashok Goel.
Summer internship at Yahoo!
Arvind Krishnaa Jagannathan will be working at Yahoo! for a summer internship on data mining projects. Good luck, Arvind!
Papers accepted at Cogsci 2013
Maithilee Kunda and Swaroop Vattam have both had papers accepted for poster presentation at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, which will take place in Berlin, Germany, this summer. Congrats!
Visit from Professor Li Shu
Professor Li Shu from University of Toronto visited DILab. She gave a talk entitled “Biological analogies and environmental lead-user insights as sources of ideas for conceptual design,” and engaged in a productive discussion on the use of natural language processing in biologically inspired design.
Bryan Wiltgen presents poster at GTRIC
At the Georgia Tech Research & Innovation Conference (a.k.a., GTRIC), Bryan Wiltgen presented a poster that he co-authored with Dr. Ashok K. Goel. The poster was titled “Towards an Artificial Teammate: Understanding Team Interactions in Biologically Inspired Design”.
