Re: Interesting Conference
Please pencil in the following conference:
Inference, Culture, and Ordinary Thinking in Dispute Resolution
April 27-29, 2003
Cardozo Law School
5th Ave. & 12th Street
New York City
As the list below shows, many interesting and eminent people will serve
as panelists. But -- mainly for the benefit of law teachers -- I want to
take special note of one particularly interesting participant: John
McCarthy, http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/. Professor McCarthy is one
of the true founders of artificial intelligence a/k/a computational
intelligence (If I am not mistaken, he invented the phrase "artificial
intelligence.") This giant in his field, who has influenced all of our
lives, has also made it his business -- for many decades -- to study
"common sense."
