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

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

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

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.<br>

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

something I'm interested in. I've found that the discussion
of the terms and concepts in the field is somewhat chaotic.
There are lots of simple concepts that are made hard because
of obfuscation and lots of hard concepts that are glossed
over because nobody understands them much. I think that a
group that met either online or land-based every once in a
while could help each other out in understanding these
things.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I set up a Facebook page for anybody who wants to
get involved. If there is interest then we can post and
meet up. If not, then I'll just take the page down. Just
Like the page and we can start talking if anybody's
interested.<br>

One thing I'm working with right now is CMU Sphinx, which is
a surprisingly accurate speech recognizer. I'm guessing
that apps like Siri and Dragon have borrowed extensively
from their code. Maybe as a first topic we can start talking
about Sphinx and how it works.<br>

BTW, I can't help this shameless self-promotion, but as I
mentioned in a previous post, I've written a book that deals
broadly with AI topics. I'm really interested in math and
computer algorithms. I think AI is where the Internet and
WWW were in the mid 1990s, it's getting ready to become very
important.<br>
