Research Paper instead of Quizzes
06/01/12 20:05 Filed in: 481
For those of you who prefer to do a research paper, please follow the instructions from last year’s 581 class. The formatting instructions can also be obtained from the International Joint Conference in Artificial Intelligence IJCAI 2011 site (instead of IJCAI 2009, as indicated in the 581 class). This might be especially interesting for those of you working on a thesis, and intending to submit the paper for publication.
[The conference info below is from last year, but there might be similar ones this year. I’ll update this later.]
If you’re looking for a potential venue, there are about 30 workshops at IJCAI 2011, with deadlines typically in March or April. The conference will be July 16-22 in Barcelona, Spain, and it is the premier conference in AI. An alternative is the Twenty-Fifth Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-11) from August 7-11 in San Francisco. The deadline is Feb 3 for abstracts and Feb 8 for papers for the main conference, so this is a bit tight. Then there is a Student Abstract and Paper program, with a Feb 15 deadline. This student program is actually a great opportunity to get a chance to participate in such a conference. There are also workshops (there is no list available yet), with an April 22 deadline.

Blackboard Available: KB Nugget Signup, Survey
06/01/12 20:03 Filed in: 481
Blackboard is now available for the 481 course. We will use it for the following:
- scheduling and repository for KB Nugget presentations (see AI-KB-Wiki on Blackboard),
- assignment submission,
- quizzes,
- possibly some course materials that I can’t put on my public course Web site.
Please take the survey under “Surveys and Quizzes”. It is not graded; I use it to get a better impression about the background of the students, and also to get you familiarized with the way the quizzes will be done.
If you’ve already selected a topic for your KB Nugget presentation, you can sign up on Blackboard. Throughout next week (Week 3), those students with topics selected will be able to sign up; if you haven’t made up your mind yet, you’ll have to wait until Week 4.

KB Nugget Description Available

You can find the KB Nugget description on the course Web page now. There may be some modifications (such as the length of the presentation) depending on the decision about doing a term paper vs. quizzes.
A table where you can sign up for time slots will be available on Blackboard soon. If you already have a topic in mind, and would like to present early, let me know. If you do your presentation during Week 2, you’ll get a 10% bonus, and 5% during Week 3.
