Abstract: With close to 140 members, the Intelligent Systems Division is one of the nation's largest and best artificial intelligence research laboratories. While particularly well known for its research in natural language processing, machine translation, computer-based and computer-aided education, and information integration, the division includes researchers in many other areas. This talk will assess the state of the division, describe the trends we've seen in it in the past few years, and give an idea of where we'd like to go.
