AAAI 2007 Fall Symposium
Just got back from AAAI’s Fall Symposium 2007 in Arlington, VA. It was great to feel back in touch with the AAAI community. It had been too long since I had attended a AAAI event–good to be back!
I was thrilled to give Saturday night’s Plenary Session remarks on Cognitive Approaches to Natural Language Processing. From two full days of presentations, discussions, and side meetings, I was pleased to see a good amount of progress in the community over the past several years. Naturally, there remains a great deal of research, development, and work before the real world will have the kind of rich, natural dialog with machines that we see now only in science fiction. But at least we are making progress.
