There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Associate Professor Ashwin Ram and Assistant Professors Charles Isbell and Michael Mateas have won $2.8 million in research funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Integrated Learning Program. Current learning systems are brittle, the learned knowledge is situation-specific, and does not readily apply to new problems and changing situations. Their project, one of only two projects chosen for funding, will create technologies that integrate multiple reasoning, planning, learning, and meta-reasoning techniques to accomplish human-plus performance in realistic domains involving both computer and human agents.
The four-year contract will support research in Game AI. This funding is part of a $25 million project on Generalized Integrated Learning Architectures (GILA), led by Lockheed Martin and involving several leading universities.
