Ashok Goel presents at the first ever Advances in Cognitive Systems conference

Ashok Goel presented two posters at the First Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems in Menlo Park, California. The first poster described Joshua Jones work on “Conceptual Semantics of Domain Knowledge in Learning by Correcting Mistakes,” and the second poster described Swaroop Vattam’s work on “Interactive Analogical Retrieval.” Ashok was also a member of the organizing committee of the conference.

Ashok Goel gives talk at TEDxPeachtree

Professor Ashok K. Goel gave a talk at TEDxPeachtree: “Does Our Future Require Us to Go Back to Nature?” From TEDx: “Ashok Goel challenges well-worn notions of design and creativity and makes a powerful case for bio-inspired design wherein nature serves as the ultimate inspiration for design innovation and sustainability.”

Hi:)

I am a visiting research student coming from China. I am new comer here and is getting familiar with the teammates now.

My research area was mainly focused on data mining in my home university, and I used to be a web tool tester(.Net/C#) intern in Intel, but I love to try new things.

BID really interests me, and is also a new challenge to me.I hope to learn as much as I can during the stay here and become good friends with everyoneO(∩_∩)O

I love vegetable and fruit, but having few fight of  meat+_+

If you are interested in China or Chinese Language or anything about China, please feel free to talk to me(*^__^*)

Mikhail Jacob

I’m a second year Master’s student in Computer Science, specialising in Interactive Intelligence. I have worked on the GAIA project since my first semester, working on adapting agents for Tic Tac Toe and its variants. I believe that games are the perfect test bed for all kinds of serious research and this is one such project involving self-adaptation and meta-thinking in game playing agents.

In general, I am interested in how creative AI systems can foster an understanding of creativity and its role in cognition and the human experience. I am also deeply interested in the interplay between affect and creativity and a firm believer in AI’s original dream of Artificial General Intelligence.
