AAAI-14 Senior Member Presentation Track

AAAI-14 Senior Member Presentation Track

In the AAAI-14 Senior Member Presentation track established researchers provided broad talks on a well-developed body of research or an important new research area. These presentations provided a "big picture" view, in contrast to the regular contributions that focus on a specific contribution. An open call to senior members of the AI community was issued, attracting 17 submissions. Each submission was evaluated by senior members of the program committee of AAAI as well as the track chairs, leading to an exciting program of 11 presentations by leading AI researchers.

We hope these presentations will provoke discussion and generate interest at AAAI-14!
