Summer, 2012

No definitive schedule yet - probably meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1pm, starting May 22.  Watch the AI group mailing list for details.  Meetings tend to last about an hour. We alternate between student research (student picks the reading and presents work-in-progress) and reading in less-familiar areas (robotics, general CS, talk videos).

some options: 

mini-symposia: ECAI, FLAIRS, AI&Math, AI&Stats, ICAPS tutorial and talk videos, 

IJCAI (videos?), AAAI, NIPS (Littman RL tutorial), UAI, ICML, workshops, model-checking

ijcai flexible job shop, conductance, Cassamitis, robotics
