The Digital Humanities Curriculum Seminar (DHCS) welcomes Selmer
Bringsjord to UVa. Bringsjord will speak on "Living a
(Non-Schizophrenic!) Three-Way Symbiosis Between the Humanities,
Social Science, and Computer Science" when he joins us on Monday,
April 22 at 10 AM in Clemons 201. All are cordially invited to
attend.
Professor Bringsjord, director of the Minds and Machines Lab at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), specializes in the
logico-mathematical and philosophical foundations of Artificial
Intelligence and Cognitive Science. He received a bachelor's degree
from the University of Pennsylvania, and a PhD from Brown University.
Bringsjord has published numerous articles and books on Artifical
Intelligence, including the critically acclaimed _What Robots Can &
Can't Be_ (1992, Kluwer), which is concerned with the future of
attempts to create robots that behave as humans. One of his new
books, _Artificial Intelligence and Literary Creativity: Inside the
Mind of Brutus, A Storytelling Machine_, discusses the place of
creativity and narrative in the discourse of A.I. and describes his
(collaborative) efforts to build the storytelling machine Brutus.
