Adam,    (01)

Your session page is up now. Ref: 
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2006_05_04    (02)

Kindly review it, edit, add material, etc. as you see fit. I'll 
be announcing your session after the weekend (shortly after I 
announce Jack Park's.)    (03)

Thank you, again, for agreeing to give this talk.    (04)

Regards.  =ppy

>> "Ontology Management in CALO, A Cognitive Assistant that Learns and 
>> Organizes"    (08)

>> CALO is one of DARPA's most ambitious efforts to develop a persistent 
>> assistant that lives with, learns from, and supports users in managing 
>> the complexities of their daily work lives. A multi-year project that 
>> unites some 200+ researchers from 25 academic and commercial 
>> organizations, the goal is to produce a single system where learning 
>> happens "in vivo", inside an ever-evolving agent that can observe, 
>> comprehend, reason, anticipate, act, and communicate.    (09)

>> In this talk, we will first provide an overview of CALO: the what, the 
>> how, the why. Next, we will discuss the engineering methods we use to 
>> develop and maintain the ontology of CALO.  CALO has some unusual 
>> requirements, such as "Concept Learning" where the ontology is 
>> extended and modified "in-the-wild" by machine learning algorithms.  
>> Finally, we will demonstrate IRIS, a semantic desktop that serves as 
>> the office environment that integrates best with CALO.  IRIS leverages 
>> many of CALO's techniques to ontology management, and being open 
>> source, provides a distributable, transparent example of the approach.    (010)

>> Bio:
>> Adam Cheyer is currently a Program Director in SRI's Artificial 
>> Intelligence Center, where he serves as
>> Chief Architect of the CALO/PAL project, an ambitious effort to create 
>> a next-generation personal cognitive
>> assistant. Previously, Mr. Cheyer was VP of Engineering at Dejima, a 
>> provider of natural interaction technology
>> for mobile applications, and before that, VP of Engineering at 
>> Verticalnet, an enterprise software provider.
>> As Senior Scientist and Co-Director of the Computer Human Interaction 
>> Center (CHIC) at SRI International,
>> Mr. Cheyer led a multidisciplinary team of researchers exploring web 
>> services, distributed knowledge, and
>> pervasive computing.    (011)
