Announcing a new Meetup for Bay Area Artificial Intelligence Meetup Group!
What: Holistic Salon: Science Beyond Reductionism
When: Sunday, April 18, 2010 12:00 PM
Where:
TechShop
120 Independence Dr.
Menlo Park, CA 94025
[masked]
There is a five week gap between our last MeetUp and the next regular event on Mother's Day.
We will therefore add one extra meetup at noon on April 18. Because of the short notice (and because it's been a while) we'll make it a Holistic Salon, where we discuss the kind of AI that I personally like and work with: AI that understands context and can operate in very rich domains by avoiding the creation and use of Reductionist Models.
I'll be giving my talk Science Beyond Reductionism that I gave at the Future Salon in January (whichs available on the web at
http://videos.syntience.com . I will try to both shorten it a bit and to add some new material but the take-home, as usual, will be the audience participation including the extended discussion that will follow. A notable part of the talk is an example of a Model Free Method based approach to the NetFlix challenge.
