Umm... yeah. I've pretty much decided to stop this. An awful lot of papers I'm looking at are just going to involve so much background information before I get to the point of them that my heart sinks rather. And really, there's not a lot of point in doing this if I'm not enjoying it.

I still think it would be fun to blog about my field in some way that is a little less superficial than "Yay! I got a paper accepted!" but this is clearly not the way to do it.

I seem to have a long list of things I want to blog about, hopefully I'll actually manage to get down to it properly this week!!

Anyway to start another of my (obviously not remotely weekly) 100 papers in AI.

100 Current Papers in Artificial Intelligence, Automated Reasoning and Agent Programming. Number 6

DOI: 10.1016/j.artint.2012.06.008
Open Access?: Not that I can find.

100 Current Papers in Artificial Intelligence, Automated Reasoning and Agent Programming. Number 2

Jacob M. Howe and Andy King, A Pearl on SAT and SMT Solving in Prolog, Theoretical Computer Science Volume 435, 1 June 2012, Pages 43–55.

I'm not sure quite how the terminology of a programming pearl arose. It denotes a neat, elegant or otherwise illuminating solution to some programming problem. In this case the programming pearl shows how a solver for a certain sort of logic can be programmed up in only 22 lines of of the Prolog Programming language.

Because you all so want to read more thoughts by me...

This has been doing the rounds: a challenge to make 100 posts on the subject of your choice (no time limit).




{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

Actually, I've been thinking recently about ways to keep myself more abreast of the literature in my field which I tend to read somewhat sporadically. So the idea of some kind of one woman journal club doesn't immediately seem like a bad one. I'm going to attempt to blog about 100 current academic papers in my field (artificial intelligence, automated reasoning and agent programming) and, if possible, not make them sound too impenetrable. Given there's no time limit on this, I'm thinking I should aim for about one post per week, which should keep this going for two years by which point frankly either it will have become a habit or will have long fallen by the wayside.
