AI'95 is the Eighth Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. This annual conference is the largest Australian AI conference and attracts many overseas participants.
The main theme of AI'95 is ``bridging the gaps,'' i.e., bridging the gap between the classical symbolic approach and other subsymbolic approaches, such as artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation and artificial life, to AI, and bridging the gap between the AI theory and real world applications. The goals of the conference are to promote cross-fertilisation among different approaches to AI and provide a common forum for both researchers and practitioners in the AI field to exchange new ideas and share their experience. Tutorials and workshops on various topics of AI will be organised before the main conference. The keynote speakers for AI'95 include Professor Kenneth De Jong from George Mason University, Professor William Clancey from the Institute of Research on Learning, Dr Usama Fayyad of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Dr Susan Garavagli of Dun & Bradstreet.
AI'95 will be held at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. ADFA is located less than 5km from the CBD of Canberra. There is a single road entrance to ADFA. Follow the signs for AI95 from there to get to the conference registration desk.
The University College within the ADFA is part of the University of New South Wales. It is responsible for providing university education to officer undergraduates and officer cadets of the Australian Defence Force in addition to carrying out research and other university activities. The University College has an active postgraduate research programme in many disciplines, e.g., computer science, etc., in which any people, either civilian or military, can be enrolled if they are considered appropriate by the university.
Canberra is situated between Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne. There are daily flights between Canberra and all the major cities in Australia. Canberra features a number of tourist attractions which are easily accessible by car, bus or even bike! There is an excellent cycle path system in Canberra. November is the last month of the spring in Australia. The weather in Canberra is generally very pleasant.
