Group Seminar Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
In this seminar researchers, students, and guests of the AI group report on their current research.
Time and place
The "Oberseminar" will take place from 7th of April till 10th of April in the "Fachschaftshaus" at the "Schauinsland" mountain. It will be held jointly with two research groups from the University of Groningen (The Netherlands), and the Università di Roma "La Sapienza" (Italy)".
Driving Directions (only in English)
By cable car with Italian speaking guide (probably applies to people from Rome)
You will meet in the morning of the 7th of April Prof. Dr. Marco Ragni who will take with you the tram and cable car for reaching the place.Please meet Prof. Dr. Marco Ragni at the "Bertoldsbrunnen" (in front of the drugstore dm) on Monday, 12:25 (sharp!).
