    	Simulating Bodies and Minds</h1>

    <a href="http://www.cs.umbc.edu/people/faculty/sergei-nirenburg/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Professor Sergei Nirenburg</a><br>
    	University of Maryland, Baltimore County</h2>
    <h3>1:00-2:15pm Friday, 18 February 2011, ITE 227, UMBC</h3>
    <p>This talk is an overview of a cognitive architecture that supports the creation and deployment of intelligent agents capable of simulating human-like abilities. The agents, have a simulated mind and may also be supplied with a simulated body. These agents are intended to operate as members of multi-agent teams featuring both artificial and human agents. The agent architecture and its underlying knowledge resources and processors are being developed in a sufficiently generic way to support a variety of applications. In this talk we briefly describe the architecture and two proof-of-concept application systems we have developed within it: the <a href="http://trulysmartagents.com/marylandVirtualPatient.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Maryland Virtual Patient</a> (MVP) system for training medical personnel and the <a href="http://trulysmartagents.com/clad.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CLinician’s ADvisor</a> (CLAD).We organize the discussion around four specific aspects of agent capabilities implemented in MVP and CLAD: physiological simulation, knowledge management and learning, decision-making and language processing.</p>
    <p>This is joint work with Marjorie McShane and Stephen Beale, with contributions from Jesse English, Ben Johnson, Bryan Wilkinson and Roberta Catizone.</p>
    <div>Sergei Nirenburg is Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering of UMBC and Director of its <a href="http://ilit.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Institute for Language and Information Technologies</a> (ILIT). He received his Ph.D. in Linguistics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. Dr. Nirenburg has written or edited seven books and has published over 180 refereed articles in various areas of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. His research interests cover a variety of topics in AI, cognitive modeling and natural language processing (machine translation, computational semantics, computational lexicography, natural language analysis and generation, knowledge acquisition and intelligent interfaces). In 1987-96 he served as Editor-in-Chief of Machine Translation. He is a member of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics (ICCL). He has founded and has been Steering Committee Chair (1985-2007) of a series of 11 scientific conferences on theoretical and methodological issues in machine translation.</div>

<Title>Last Day to Drop a Class without a "W" is Tuesday</Title>
<Tagline>Tuesday, February 8</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Hey Retrievers,</p>
    <p>The title kinda says it all. But don't forget that the Last Day to Drop a Class without receiving a "W" on your transcript in this Tuesday, February 8. If you decide to drop a class after Tuesday, you will receive a "W" (withdraw) notation on your transcript. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If you are in a class that has only met once because it is a once a week lecture, you can appeal to Undergraduate Petitions in the Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE). The form you need to fill out can be found at <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/undergrad_ed/policy.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.umbc.edu/undergrad_ed/policy.html</a>.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If you have any questions, you can e-mail SGA's Office of Academic Affairs at <a href="mailto:umbcOAA@gmail.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">umbcOAA@gmail.com</a>. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If you have any other issues or complaints, you can e-mail us as well. Have a great semester and good luck!!! Have fun in the snow/rain/sleet/ice/(insert other forms of precipitation here).</p>
