[NBLUG/talk] Anybody interested in AI?

[Omar Eljumaily]

TTK, I did take it down, obviously too soon, but I put a new one up.

https://www.facebook.com/Sonoma-County-Artificial-Intelligence-Interest-Group-970541489705455/

I'm currently hacking up CMU Sphinx to try to use in automatic animation 
and movie production.  I'm very interesting in Hidden Markov Models as a 
part of a sort of grand AI world view scheme. Maybe I'm wrong about it, 
but it seems to be a very simple, useful, and far reaching concept.

I'll post more about it on the above page, and maybe you can post too.  
Hopefully we can get other people interested and/or continue to talk and 
meet land based about it if it has value to us.

Thanks,

Omar
