Hi, just a friendly reminder that proposals for this online symposium are due on January 15th, a mere eight days away!
Graduate students are especially encouraged to apply!
Although I am sending this from my civilian email address, the symposium will be hosted online through Utah Valley University, courtesy of our Microsoft Teams site license.
I think this will be a low pressure way to get together and talk about AI with folks from outside our departments.
In addition, I am planning on two excellent surprise keynote speakers. The surprise will be if my speaker grant is approved in time. But seriously, I think it will work out.
Thanks,
Eugene Crane
