We meet almost every second and fourth Sundays every month to discuss AI topics such as: - Symbolic and SubSymbolic Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life, and Artificial Intuition - Complexity theory, Model theory, Model Free Methods - Semantic Web, Ontology based systems - Robotics and Robot Ethics - Linguistics, Document understanding, and Semantics - Evolutionary Computation - GA and GP - Computer Consciousness, Novelty, and Creativity - Neuroscience, Connectome Algorithms - Human …

I wanted happiness for myself, and I had struggled for a long time. I swore to God that I would make myself a happier person. I was trained in mathematics for 6 years, engineering for 4 years, and I had masters in computer science, and I started pursuing further education. But guess what, I ended up in a situation where my research data went against popular views. I went to all big research institutes to validate my hypothesis, theories, and research. I end up hitting the wall In those interacti …

This is a group for anyone interested in technology and mental health. In the past couple of years, we have seen movement of Health Tech in Silicon Valley; however, mental health is still barely covered. This is a group for people who care about bridging the gap between mental health and technology - may it be advancement of treatment, reducing stigma, or brainstorming for new ideas to help people who are suffering. Looking forward to meeting people who are equally interested in solving some of …

This is a group for anyone interested in exploring the interface between the brain and modern computing. Interested in making apps that interface with consumer EEG devices like Emotiv's EPOC, Neurosky's Mindwave and InteraXon's Muse? What about neurostimulation via transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)? Or are you just curious as to what this stuff is all about? It's time to have a group to bring all of us together who are interested in such th …

CLINE was established to encourage and facilitate the scientific exploration of the intersection of computation, language, information, complexity, and intelligence as they are influenced by, and influence, the process of evolution. Of particular interest to this group is the development of self-evolving systems. The assumption is that apex systems evolve toward greater and greater complexity-handling capacity. Some call this "artificial intelligence," but we have trouble with the term as it: 1 …

Hello, I'm @sidgabriel, the organizer of ARDevMob: The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Augmented Reality Meetup group. Augmented reality is a human interface metaphor. Unlike the "desktop metaphor" which implies a computerized representation of a desk, files and folders, "Augmented Reality" implies that computer science can inform and extend everything in our visual, auditory and cognitive perception of reality. Making every interface relevant to a "first person" narrative perspective. …
