Apparently 3 1/2 hours isn't enough fun (Oct 14 meeting may have set new record for length and intensity of thought)...so we are going to press on with our discussion of support vector machines and domain specific kernels for WSD on Friday, October 28 at 2pm. I've booked the conference room again, so we are all set. Please go back over the papers we were originally intending to discuss - now that we have the preliminaries somewhat under control (what are support vector machines, etc.) we can get into those in more detail.

So, I am hopeful she will be able to tell us some interesting things about this area (Visualization) that we normally don't hear too much about.
