Artificial Ontologies and Real Thoughts: Populating the Semantic Web?
Abstract
The discovery of semantics by artificial intelligence researchers in the mid 20th century will serve as an exemplar of what converts feel about an extant faith that the converts have discovered for themselves. The latter-day AI researchers carried the enthusiastic confidence of the early converts: Sowa and Schank and Wilks and Spärck-Jones and McCarthy and Minsky. more...

Expressive Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence, Games and New Media
Abstract
Artificial intelligence methods open up new possibilities in art and entertainment, enabling the creation of believable characters with rich personalities and emotions, interactive story systems that incorporate player interaction into the construction of dynamic plots, and interactive installations and sculptural works that are able to perceive and respond to the human environment. more...

Learning to Select Team Strategies in Finite-Timed Zero-Sum Games
Abstract
Games, by definition, offer the challenge of the presence of an opponent, to which a playing strategy should respond. In finite-timed zero-sum games, the strategy should enable to win the game within a limited playing time. Motivated by robot soccer, in this talk, we will present several approaches towards learning to select team strategies in such finite-timed zero-sum games. more...
