Take a look at toontalk (http://www.toottalk.com). It is a completely graphical language (not as powerless as you might think). Very cool. The Playground project at the University of London, Institute of Education has had some very good results with this system.
Toontalk was a feature in last months Communications of the ACM too.
I just called my Congressman (Bilbray) in Washington. I explained to them that voting in favor of any more restrictive copyright laws would be bad. Of course mp3.com's offices are just down the street, so they probably have a bit more pull than I do. Good luck fellow/.ers. Ben
One of my favorite professors here at UC San Diego does a ton of interesting work regarding AI in search engines. Some are document based (like find things related to this document) and others have to do with merging to delated document heierarchies. And still some others use GAs to do protien recognition and docking. Very cool stuff. His web page is here , but the page looks a little out of date. And if you want any more info, send me or him an email. Best of luck, Ben bshapiro@ucsd.edu
