Delivering a positive outcome for STEM students– how TEF will that be?

How Minds Will Be Built

Artificial intelligence started with the goal of understanding minds by attempting to build them. This essay discussed how our field’s research has become unbalanced, and what might be done to change this situation. Specifically, I argue that more of our efforts should be focused on creating integrated cognitive systems. The founding of this journal will hopefully help by promoting such research.

Writing an abstract consists primarily of answering the questions, "Why did you start?" "What did you do?" "What did you find?" and "What does it mean?" A few practical steps in preparing to write the abstract can facilitate the process. T...

How Useful Will Functional Proteomics Data Be?

Large-scale protein interaction maps are, with gene expression profiles, among the first examples of data sets generated without specific knowledge on functions of genes. These are technology-driven experiments rather than hypothesis-driven experiments. They are valuable tools for protein function prediction, despite the occurrence of typical artifacts. These approaches are still in their early...

It is an extraordinary and terrifying experience to cross the line from a philosophical grasp of the fact that no one lives forever to the realization that one has a life-threatening illness.
