Today I have managed (thanks due to Jaume Timoneda) to install debian on my new desktop computer at work.
CCIA 2003
Thursday I am travelling to Mallorca. I am attending the Catalan Conference on Artificial Intelligence and we do stay there the weekend just for fun.
Group Decisions
I have read something more on Group Decisions. Specially interesting and worth reading are the works of Raiffa and an article named "Preference aggregation after Harsanyi's". Harsanyi's theorem provides a possitive result. I will try to work on how to take advantage of it in multiagent systems. Still very inmature ideas
PNL
Monday, Victor Eruhimov, from Russia Intel Research Center was invited by me to give a talk about PNL (Intel's Open Source Probabilistic Network Library) at IIIA. It was very interesting. I am anxiously waiting for the Linux alpha release that is promised for next week
Oryzon
I got some mass spectrogram data from Oryzon Genomics that I am starting to analyze. I am implementing the spectrogram analysis and classification software in Ruby. First foundamented Bayesian analysis did not work very well, whilst some adhoc ideas did perform reasonably. More work is needed to refine Bayesian approaches or to understand what is wrong in the formalization of the problem.
