Chris Welty of IBM Research will be giving an Asprey Series lecture on

is titled "AI and the Web" (i.e., "Artificial Intelligence" and the Web!).

location), go to the computer science web site (http://www.cs.vassar.edu)

    Abstract: In this talk I will briefly cover the history of AI and
              the web and then discuss the future, especially with
              respect to the synthesis of AI and the Web. New
              developments in the web, like so-called "Web 2.0"
              technologies and the semantic web, promise to radically
              change the world in ways that may make the first web
              revolution seem minor. We are coming to a new
              understanding about the nature of machine intelligence,
              the nature of human intelligence, the nature of group
              intelligence, and how they can all be combined into a
              new kind of intelligence.
