CONFERENCE DATES: July 30 - August 1, 2004 |
Keynote Speaker: Kenneth D. Forbus Ken Forbus is a Professor of Computer Science and Education. Before arriving at Northwestern, Prof. Forbus was the head of the Artificial Intelligence group at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prof. Forbus received his Ph.D. from MIT in 1984 in Artificial Intelligence, received an NSF PYI award in 1987, and was elected a AAAI Fellow in 1992. His interest in the construction of intelligent tutoring systems and learning environments stems in part from his experience working on the STEAMER Project at Bolt, Beranek, and Newman in the 1980s. |
Keynote Speaker: Michael C. Mozer Mike Mozer is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and in the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He received his Ph.D. from UCSD in 1987 in Cognitive Science and received an NSF PYI award in 1990. His research follows two complementary approaches: developing computational models of human cognition, and building adaptive intelligent computer systems. In addition to his many publications, Prof. Mozer has been awarded two patents for speech recognition devices.
