*REMINDER* (01)
Adam Cheyer's invited talk on "Ontology Management in CALO, a
Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes" is coming up this
Thursday. I've personally been looking forward to this for more
than 2 years now ... and its finally here. Register now (by
e-mailing me offline), if you are planning to attend and haven't
already done so. (02)
I look forward to having you at the session. ... you don't want
to miss this! (03)

> *Abstract*: (by Adam Cheyer)
>
> 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.

> 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.
