Presentations
In order to become acquainted with applications of AI, students will
work in teams of 3 or 4 to study an application paper, and present a
15 minute talk to the class. The papers will be selected from either
the Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence conference or
from AI Magazine--selections from AI magazine must be pre-approved by the professor to be sure they qualify as "application papers". The presentations will take place during the last four weeks of the semester.
