AAAI-98 Content-rich with traditions plus new additions … This year's Fifteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, (AAAI-98) offers a program as content-rich and varied as the field of AI itself. In keeping with tradition, there is a strong technical program of 144 papers spanning a wide range of fertile AI ground. Invited speakers this year will cover topics as diverse as AI in medicine in the twenty-first century, an AI program that writes Bachlike music, the limits of current approaches in natural language processing, Bayesian networks, machine learning, and the anthropomorphism of computers. Branching out into new territory, there will also be a panel of science fiction authors spinning tales and lessons of AI in the future. The conference, held in Madison, Wisconsin from July 26-30, 1998, will also be host to the ever-popular robot competition.
