The 2005 AAAI/SIGART Doctoral Consortium

I report on the tenth annual AAAI/ SIGART Doctoral Consortium, colocated with the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-05). I discuss highlights of the consortium and include pointers to the consortium web site. The consortium is consistently praised by students as an exceptionally educational and valuable part of the conference. Sixteen students (5 women and 11 men) presented their work, selected from an extremely competitive applicant pool of 42 submissions. Their research represents a variety of subfields of AI, including planning, natural language, probabilistic reasoning, and machine learning.
