CSCE 476/876, Spring 2003: AI Course Challenge

The "AI Course Challenge," a yearly contest for CSCE 476/876,  was started in Spring 2000.

The challenge rewards two students with the highest performance by helping them  attend a major, top-level conference in the field.  This year's conference is the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2003), to be held in Acapulco, Mexico from Aug 9 to 15, 2003.

The top ranking student will have all expenses payed and will be sponsored by the Constraint Systems Laboratory.
The second top ranking student will be supported up to US$750 towards expenses to IJCAI by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

A student's performance is measured by his or her cumulative grade in the course, including bonuses and challenge questions.

Past winners of this award are:

• Spring 2002, National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-2002),  Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) 
• Mr. Kenneth Bayer
• Mr. Hui Zou
• Spring 2001, International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2001), Seattle, Washington.

Our goal is to increase your dedication to your studies and commitment to excellence.  My personal hope is that you choose a research and/or
academic career path.
