I believe these various academic subcommunities ARE quite aware of each other And I would divide them into two categories 1) Those that are concerned with rather specialized approaches to intelligence, e.g. qualitative reasoning, commonsense reasoning etc. 2) Those that do not really constitute a coherent research community, e.g. BICA, human-level AI ... but rather "merely" constitute a few assorted workshops, journal special issues, etc. -- Ben ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
