AI Lunches

AI Lunches are a weekly informal gathering of professors, graduate students and undergraduate students who are interested in artificial intelligence research. The meetings are typically held during the semester, and there is usually a summer schedule as well. Currently, this semester (Fall '99) schedule is prevailing (Wednesdays at Noon in CIT 506 with some excpetions shown below). People are encouraged to bring their lunch to eat as we meet. The format of these discussions is very broad. Typical lunches have included all of the following:

If you see an open date and have an idea, would like to present your work or want to arrange an outside speaker, then send me email and I'll put you down. It can be work in progress, completed work or anything else AI related. It is a particularly good forum for getting feedback and critiques of research and talk presentations.
