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.
