Thank you everyone who introduced themselves, and others please do so in your own time. What motivated the formation of this group initially is a need to keep up with the extremely fast moving pace of AI progress - even when writing a simple research paper or teaching a basic class like 'Introduction to Machine Learning' these days it is necessary to keep an eye out for new approaches and contexts. There is a lot happening. Things are changing by the minute. I don't understand the words people use anymore. Everyday I need to start a new learning curve. What were once fairly clear cut fields of study seem to have shifted (or is it my consciosness expanding?) There seems to be new concepts coming up all the time. Cognitive ability is linked to knowledge representation, both for humans and machines, and I thought maybe we can try to grab some of this rapidly developing AI knowledge by creating some KR tabs to help us figure things out. Even KR is moving but at a less fast pace. So I started digesting words and concepts and hope that the cognitive load is going to become more bearable. Then realised there is much to be done in this space, and since the web is now part of us in more than one way, our interface, our constantly updated database, W3C is open to new ideas, why not make a CG. I am so glad to have so many clever and experienced people on the list. Its easy to turn sun open informal efforts into a rave party, get distracted with interesting discussions, since we all have our own agendas and interesting backgrounds and a lot to tell. Our challenge is to keep the focus, so I beg everyone please lets put down explicitly (write in our web pages) some stuff we want doing (goals, deliverables whatever) and let's stick to it diligently and systematically. Please share with the group - on separate threads perhaps - what you think we should try to achieve, and how? What motivates you to join this group? What would like to contribute, and what can the group do for you? I started a few pages with initial thoughts, they should editable https://www.w3.org/community/aikr/welcome/ On a housekeeping note, we may benefit from a co-chair if anyone would like to volunteer (no particular commitment required) I hope this group will become a WG as soon as we have enough juice, and produce a lot of nice deliverables, and after achieving some of the goals I have initially set (maye publish one or two reports, or a journal special issue or something) then I ll be ready to pass on the torch to the next chair. Since it's the summer, I suggest we may relax and ponder on the tasks already set out and contribute some thinking and some items (start submitting resources, edit the TO DO list a bit, etc) and postpone our first virtual meeting until September. but if someone/anyone is inclined to call out a virtual meeting before the end of the summer please feel free to do so. I am not big with online meetings, prefer to exchange via emails, but if virtual meetings become productive I ll make the effort. Personally I am now busy reading new research - tons and tons of stuff - and simply understanding what it all means. I ll try to pin down a few concept/terms definition and submit them to our resource depository and will ping the list when I need some input on what I am doing For now these pages are still drafts, but when everyone has had the opportunity to review them, we can make the firm and start actioning them, set dates etc Please do the same! Look forward to learn more about what everybody is doing and how can this community help! Questions?
