======== Course Announcement ========= When: February 27 through March 1, 2006 (3 days) Where: Cycorp headquarters in Austin, Texas Total Cost (including lunches): $1,900 This Cyc course will introduce the tools used in Ontological Engineering and provide ample opportunity to use those tools to begin entering knowledge into Cyc. Cyc 101 will be a three-day hands-on workshop with a combination of lecture and hands-on exercises. The instructors will give a brief explanation of some aspect of Cyc and then the students will be given time to apply that knowledge. Our aim is to have students spend as much time as possible interacting with Cyc. When students leave the class, they will feel comfortable with how to find and use the tools in Cyc/OpenCyc, they will have a strong basic understanding of how to find and make use of relevant KB content, and they will be able to enter simple facts and rules without assistance. Even if you have read all of our online documentation, you will still be able to derive the following benefits from attending this class: * an opportunity to better understand issues of intent, or why things are done one way instead of another. * an opportunity to see the typical uses of the tools that accompany Cyc/OpenCyc * an opportunity to interact with full Cyc to get an idea of what will be appearing in OpenCyc/ResearchCyc in the future * an opportunity to better understand Cycorp as a company Information on how to register can be found at: http://www.cyc.com/cyc/technology/training_dir/register If you have any questions, please email tra...@cy.... We look forward to seeing you in class! |
