The symposium entitled Acquiring (and Using) Linguistic (and World) Knowledge for Information Access gathered 20 some researchers and practitioners from corporations, research institutes, and academic institutions from far corners of the world. The subtitle was "Theory for systems; application for theories," and the aim was to find common ground between those who work on defining The American Association for Artificial Intelligence, in cooperation with Stanford University's Department of Computer Science, presented the 2002 Spring Symposium Series, held Monday through Wednesday, 25 to 27 March 2002, at Stanford University. The nine symposia were entitled (1) Acquiring (and Using) Linguistic (and World) Knowledge for Information Access; (2) Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Entertainment; (3) Collaborative Learning Agents; (4) Information Refinement and Revision for Decision Making: Modeling for Diagnostics, Prognostics, and Prediction; (5) Intelligent Distributed and Embedded Systems; (6) Logic-Based Program Synthesis: State of the Art and Future Trends; (7) Mining Answers from Texts and Knowledge Bases; (8) Safe Learning Agents; and (9) Sketch Understanding. The presentations ranged from new theories for computational modeling of brain information processing and applications of various types of multivariate statistical models to text categorization to name identification across documents and ontologybased search systems. The discussion centered on representational issues.

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence held its 1992 Fall Symposium Series on October 23-25 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This article contains summaries of the five symposia that were conducted: Applications of AI to Real-World Autonomous Mobile Robots, Design from Physical Principles, Intelligent Scientific Computation, Issues in Description Logics: Users Meet Developers, and Probabilistic Approaches to Natural Language.

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, in cooperation with Stanford University's Department of Computer Science, presented the 2016 Spring Symposium Series on Monday through Wednesday, March 21-23, 2016 at Stanford University. The titles of the seven symposia were (1) AI and the Mitigation of Human Error: Anomalies, Team Metrics and Thermodynamics; (2) Challenges and Opportunities in Multiagent Learning for the Real World (3) Enabling Computing Research in Socially Intelligent Human-Robot Interaction: A Community-Driven Modular Research Platform; (4) Ethical and Moral Considerations in Non-Human Agents; (5) Intelligent Systems for Supporting Distributed Human Teamwork; (6) Observational Studies through Social Media and Other Human-Generated Content, and (7) Well-Being Computing: AI Meets Health and Happiness Science.

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, in cooperation with Stanford University's Department of Computer Science, presented the 2003 Spring Symposium Series, Monday through Wednesday, 24-26 March 2003, at Stanford University. The titles of the eight symposia were Agent-Mediated Knowledge Management, Computational Synthesis: From Basic Building Blocks to High- Level Functions, Foundations and Applications of Spatiotemporal Reasoning (FASTR), Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems in Complex Environments, Intelligent Multimedia Knowledge Management, Logical Formalization of Commonsense Reasoning, Natural Language Generation in Spoken and Written Dialogue, and New Directions in Question-Answering Motivation.

In AI, psychology, and education, a growing body of research supports the view that learning is a goal-directed process. Psychological experiments show that people with varying goals process information differently, studies in education show that goals have a strong effect on what students learn, and functional arguments in machine learning support the necessity of goal-based focusing of learner effort. At the Fourteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society, a symposium brought together researchers in AI, psychology, and education to discuss goal-driven learning. This article presents the fundamental points illuminated at the symposium, placing them in the context of open questions and current research directions in goal-driven learning.

In his model, requirements needs, it must be able to represent is done unintentionally; a problem for filling system knowledge solver attempting to solve a gaps also direct explanation generation what these needs are. Ram proposed problem simply stores a trace of its by guiding retrieval and revision representations that include processing without attention to its of explanations during case-based the desired knowledge (possibly partially future relevance. However, Ng's previously explanation construction (Leake specified) and the reason that mentioned studies show that 1992). In the context of analogical the knowledge is sought. Leake for a different class of task, learning mapping, Thagard pointed out that focused on the representation of the goals have a strong effect on the goals, semantic constraints, and syntactic knowledge required to resolve anomalies learning performance of human constraints all affect analogical (which depends on a vocabulary learners. A future question is to identify mapping (Holyoak and Thagard 1989) of anomaly characterization structures the limits of goal-driven processing and the retrieval of potential analogs to describe the information in human learners.
