Why it's harder to lie as you get older: Elderly people are unable to tell a convincing fib
Millennials are better liars than the elderly. That's according to a new study, which found that 70-year-olds struggled to falsely describe an object they had never seen far more than 20-year-olds. Our brain function declines as we age, making it harder for elderly people to keep track of their fibs, scientists said. Old people lack the mental ability to lie convincingly, scientists have found. Researchers from Brandeis University in the US published the study in the journal Brain and Cognition.

Profile of a Winner: Brandeis University and Ullanta Performance Robotics ' " Robotic Love Triangle "
Effectiveness included safety, coverage of the reception area, recognition of humans, offering of hors d'oeuvres, and detection of need for refills; entertainment value was determined by popular vote. To fully exploit the talents of our team, drawn from Brandeis's multirobot Interaction Lab and robotic theater troupe Ullanta Performance Robotics, we entered a team of three dramatically interacting robots. At this height, they could neither effectively serve nor avoid being tripped over in the crowd, and our participation in the Find-Life-on-Mars event dictated that we be able to switch software and hardware to turn a Mars exploration team into a domestic service staff in fewer than five minutes. We contrived a simple manipulator able to physically offer snacks at a convenient height by attaching a 3-foot pole to the back of each robot. On top of this pole was hinged a rigid tube with a snack container at one end and a serving bowl at the other (see figure).
The " Hors d'Oeuvres, Anyone? " Event
Five teams entered their robotic waiters into the contest. After a preliminary round to judge the safety of the robots, the robots served conference attendees at the opening reception of the Fourteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Robots from five teams acted as waiters, serving snacks to the AAAI conference attendees at the opening reception. The robots served a variety of food items, including sandwiches, pretzels, peanuts, and candy. The primary criterion for food selection was that no item could be messy, preventing potential damage to the robotic hardware.
David L Waltz, in Memoriam
Gabriel, Richard P. (IBM) | Finin, Tim (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) | Sun, Ron (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
David L. Waltz (1943-2012), was director, Center for Computational Learning Systems In 1973, Dave Waltz with Richard P. Gabriel in tow headed Dave Waltz delivers his AAAI Presidential Address at AAAI-98 in Madison, Wisconsin. While at Illinois, Dave produced system, paving the way for an engineering-style 11 Ph.D. students and many more MS students, approach to emergent AI techniques; and even mentored junior researchers and postdocs, attracted though their first attempts to create a multidisciplinary new AI faculty, and helped create the Beckman AI degree program failed, Dave was able in Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. In 1984, Marvin Minsky asked Dave to return to During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Waltz's Thinking Machines, Inc., an MIT spinoff in Cambridge group explored new ideas in natural language processing, -- with the temptation that the atmosphere cognitive science, qualitative reasoning, would be like the early days of the AI Lab all over and parallel computation in a collaborative environment again. At the same time he took a parttime including researchers in computer science, tenured position at Brandeis. Machines and Brandeis, Dave developed the ideas He chaired and brought the influential of massively parallel AI and, with Craig Stanfill, the Theoretical Issues in Natural Language Processing memory-based reasoning approach to case-based conference to Urbana in 1978.

The Seventh International Workshop on Natural Language Generation
Smedt, Koenraad De, Hovy, Eduard, McDonald, David, Meteer, Marie
Several of the workshops have led to discourse? At what levels of the art in the field (Dale et al. 1992; generation is information processed on Natural Language Paris, Swartout, and Mann 1991; How can we generate to 24 June 1994 at the Nonantum The goal of this latest workshop multilingual texts efficiently? Inn on the seacoast in Kennebunkport, was to introduce new, cutting-edge The topics presented at the workshop Maine. Two invited speakers described subtopics such as evaluation, casual site contributed greatly to their perspectives on two areas outside explanation generation, and summarization the success of the workshop in stimulating the field that might become an occur with increasing frequency the exchange of ideas. Pustejovsky (Brandeis University) presented Different generator designers make that any individual generation his views on the richness of different choices, and the resulting project should define--in its own what can be encoded in what he calls systems are hard to compare.
