LCI Forum
What and Why?
The LCI Forum is our biweekly meeting, at which we discuss LCI matters
and group related issues, share AI and other news, and give brief reports
from trips and conferences. An integral part of each LCI Forum is a research talk,
given by LCI members, associate members, or visitors.
Rumor has it, though, that real reason behind their popularity is the food.
The LCI Fora provide a great opportunity for meeting other members of the lab,
hearing about interesting developments, and finally finding out what the person
working at the next desk is really working on ;-) The talks are also great
opportunities to practice for conference presentations. Standard LCI Forum
talks are 20min with about 10min for questions and discussion.
When and Where?
LCI Fora run biweekly throughout the academic year and during most of the summer
(with the exception of August, where only one forum per month is scheduled). For
winter term 2005, the location is subject to change because of the move to our
new building; the default location is the CS boardroom on the 7th floor of the
CS2 building.

listing them on the web.)
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I get an LCI Forum talk scheduled?
Contact Kevin Leyton-Brown and ask for a free slot.
Even if you want to present earlier than a free slot is available,
sometimes it is possible to swap with somebody currently holding an
earlier slot.
- How long should my LCI Forum talk be?
Standard talks should be 20min (which leaves about 10min for questions
and discussion). It is possible to schedule longer talks,
but this needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
- How can I receive emails about LCI Forum announcements? See the
following web page.
