"IRISH MACHINE VISION AND IMAGE PROCESSING CONFERENCE - IMVIP'97", and "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE '97 - AI-97" University of Ulster, Magee College, Wednesday 10 Sept. to Saturday 13 Sept., 1997 Information for both events: http://www.infm.ulst.ac.uk/research * Surveys and tutorials on industrial vision and imaging in molecular biology - David Vernon, Maynooth; Jean-Christophe Olivo, European Molecular Biology Lab Heidelberg. Keynote speakers include: * Anil Jain, University Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Michigan State University. His research interests include statistical pattern recognition, Markov random fields, texture analysis, neural networks, fingerprint matching, document image analysis and 3D object recognition. * James L Crowley, Professor at the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG). He is coordinator of the European Computer Vision Network (ECVnet), an EC "Network of Excellence" as well as the DG-XII Human Capital and Mobility network SMART whose subject is the development of techniques for a mobile autonomous surveillance robot. * John McCarthy is Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and has been called the 'Father of AI' and 'Father of Lisp'. He is author of "Formalizing Common Sense", Ablex 1990. He will speak on 'The logic road to human-level AI'. * Naoyuki Okada is Professor of Artificial Intelligence at Kyushu Institute of Technology, Iizuka, Japan. His research is in the development of agents with integrated intelligence: language association with mind, symbol grounding in perception or motion, fusion of intellect and emotion, and integrated processing of multimedia. He will speak on 'An integrated system for intellectual emotional systems' * Walther von Hahn is the 'Father of natural language processing' in Germany. He is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Hamburg. He will speak on 'Putting together the parts: complex AI systems'. In addition there will be contributed sessions on: * Medical image processing and vision * Image analysis and pattern recognition * Data analysis * Vision and robotics * Artificial life and neural networks * Hardware and architectures * Knowledge representation * Scene analysis and visualization * Psychology and philosophy * Video and image compression * Natural language processing * Delegates will receive a two-volume 500 page set of Proceedings. * Streaming video/audio feeds of the Conferences will be available. * For travel details, see the 'Click-and-See' map of the city, surroundings and the Magee College campus.
