Description

In the fall of 1997, Indiana University cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter, in his role as Visiting Professor at Stanford University’s Center for Computer-Aided Research in the Humanities (CCARH), organized a series of five public symposia centered on the burning question “Are Computers Approaching Human-Level Creativity?” This second symposium was about the most recent successes of computers in the area of processing natural language -- both writing it and understanding it (including writing poetry, grading students’ papers, answering questions about science-fiction stories, and so forth).
