Abstract
A new subfield of Artificial Intelligence, called Machine Reading, is
gaining increasing momentum. What is Machine Reading? Will machines
emulate human reading? Or will Machine Reading be analogous to Computer
Chess---a radically non-human approach to the game that achieved
super-human performance? My talk will speculate on these questions, and
then describe our KnowItAll project, which investigates the challenges
of ''reading the Web''.
Host: Professor David Parkes
