Opis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th Conference of the Canadian Society for Computational Studies of Intelligence, Canadian AI 2004, held in London, Ontario, Canada in May 2004.

The 29 revised full papers and 22 revised short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 105 submissions. These papers are presented together with the extended abstracts of 14 contributions to the graduate students' track. The full papers are organized in topical sections on agents, natural language processing, learning, constraint satisfaction and search, knowledge representation and reasoning, uncertainty, and neural networks.
