RESEARCH PAPERS

The vast majority of my publication record dates from the period before 1997, when I founded Webmind Inc. Most of my work from 1998-2001 was considered proprietary at that time. During 2003 a number of papers describing aspects of this work will appear; see the “papers in preparation” section below.

SPEAKING

In recent years have given dozens of presentation on commercial AI applications at a variety of computer industry events. Most recently, for example, I was a keynote speaker at the Outsell E-content conference in Phoenix, in March 2001, on the topic of “The Future of E-content Technology.”

There is a hiatus in my academic speaking history due to my time spent in industry

Relatively recent academic research talks:

• AI Techniques for Microarray Analysis, O’Reilly Conference on Bioinformatics, Tucson, January 2002
• Halfway Intelligent Natural Language Processing, Los Alamos National Labs Seminar Series, December 2001

Academic research talks from my pre-industry academic period:
