[NBLUG/talk] Anybody interested in AI?

[Ttk Ciar]

Hiya .. did you already take down your AI group?  I just saw this message,
and am not finding the group on Facebook.

I have an interest in artificial intelligence, and have recently been
developing light NLP solutions at work.  Personally I have done mostly NLP,
with some machine vision (primal sketch, realtime video stream edge
detection, and OCR).  I'm also a big fan of the Blackboard Architecture
model for applying heuristics to complex problems with asynchronous state
upates.

A decent AI discussion forum would be lovely.  There are a few web forums
already, but they aren't very good.
