SECOND SGAICO SUMMER SCHOOL ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

2-6 August and 9-13 August 1993, IDSIA, Lugano, Switzerland

To be held at the Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull'Intelligenza
Artificiale (IDSIA) in Lugano, Switzerland.

Organised by IDSIA with the collaboration of the Scuola Tecnico
Superiore, Lugano Trevano and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale,
Lausanne. 

Sponsored by 
Swiss Group for AI and Cognitive Science (SGAICO)
Federal Office for Education and Science

Invited Lecturers include

Dean Allemang (EPFL)
Anne Keuneke  (University of California at Chico)
Norbert Fuchs (Institut fur Informatik, University of Zurich)

OVERVIEW

The second School comprises two fully supervised, one-week courses on
general principles of AI in the fields respectively of Language and
Reasoning, and Machine Learning.  The courses are aimed at practicing
computer professionals, as well as students of computer science, who
wish to achieve a high level of familiarity with AI techniques in
these areas.  Although the courses are intended to complement each
other, each is self-contained, and participants may register for
either or both.  A novel aspect of the School is to offer participants
extensive online experience using the Portable AI Lab, an integrated
toolkit that brings a number of mature AI methods and tools together
in a homogeneous software environment.  The system, developed by
IDSIA, the Federal Polytechnic of Lausanne and the University of
Zurich, is designed to provide a useful level of practical experience
with AI problem solving after a minimal initial period of
familiarization.  The Portable AI Lab was awarded a
Technologiestandort Schweiz prize for innovation in technology for
1992. 


REGISTRATION FEES AND ACCOMMODATION

Basic fees, per five-day course, are Sfr 600 for university
participants and Sfr 1200 for industrial participants. Discounts apply
for participation in both courses, early registration and SGAICO
membership. Low-cost student-style accommodation is available. In
addition, a number of studentships are to be made available by SGAICO
for full-time student participants.
