	* Daniel is interested in using AI for bio signals interpretation and NLP for emotionally contextual interfaces/digital ghosts. Darius is interested in using NLP for matching content with expertise, like http://vark.com which got acquired by google a week or so ago. Brad is interested in AI as a practitioner (it's his job) and wants to do some virtual 3d simulations. Phil is open to pretty much anything (he's too young to know better).		* Daniel is interested in using AI for bio signals interpretation and NLP for emotionally contextual interfaces/digital ghosts.

	* Brad suggested there were ways to bridge AI and NLP. The idea of bridging NLP and AI via the use of agent based AI that use NLP based communication models in evolutionary scenarios was brought up by Daniel and it generally convinced everyone there were some exciting potential bridges between the two disciplines.		* Brad suggested there were ways to bridge AI and NLP.

			=== Meeting minutes for July 29 2010 ===

			Ambient Lighting Project with HacDC's Artifical Intelligence Working Group (NARG)
			Interested in the "smart home" concept, HacDC is taking the blinky lights and LEDs that have always been a foundation of microcontroller work and starting an ambient lighting platform with an API that could link into various algorithms -- smart, simple, or silly -- to affect the color and intensity of lighting in the space and the "mood" of the space (from sensor data).

			NARG will discuss and outline the hardware and software needs for this platform.

			=== Meeting minutes for July 22 2010 ===
			attended: Ben, Sam, Darius, Alan, Brock, Bevan, Arc, and some other people

			LIVE CODING MADNESS
			This was the definitive lecture on K-Means clustering. Rather than focus on the uses of K-Means, we explored the nuts-and-bolts. Brock broke out a little P E R L, on top of an ImageMagick library.

			We discussed different clustering approaches, such as support vector maps.

			Some conceptual discussion of AI followed.

	* Brad ~~will~~ put together a demo/tutorial using the spiderland.org breve environment on Brattenberg Vehicles as an entry point into AI learning. We will collectively try to use this environment (virtual 3d world with actuators and sensors for 3d movement and input) and graduate to Subsumption Architectures and neural nets. We'll use python since most people are willing to use it and have at least played with it, though Brad personally prefers Steve (spelling?? - some unholy combo of smalltalk and javascript?)
