 Now in its sixth year, the AAAI Special Awards program
at the annual Intel International Science & Engineer ing Fair (ISEF)
consists of up to 10 awards to recognize outstanding achievement in the
area of intelligent computation and robotics. The awards are intended
for the best exhibits in the area of computer science with an artificial
intelligence component. Finalists in other areas with significant
computer science components are also eligible. The student authors of
each award-winning project share $500 and each student receives a
certificate and other momentos. The winners and their schools also
receive a complimentary one year membership in AAAI, including a
subscription to Al Magazine.
This year, the ISEF was held May 9 to 15, 2004 in
Portland, Oregon. There were 10 winning projects by 12 students (one
team). Eight projects were entered in the category of computer science
and two were in engineering. The 2004 winners are as follows:
-
Neural Networks and Speciation Genetic Algorithms. Craig
Andrew Wilson, Austin, Texas.
-
Fault-Tolerant Behavior-Based Robots. Laura Anne
Wong, Ewing, New Jersey.
