IJCAI '07 The First Big thing

Probably not the biggest conference that i would attend in my life....or may be it is!!
Who cares...when i have been lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, or IJCAI as it is read as.


huh!!
I just can't explain the grand feeling that i feel.... I remember that.... I have more Esteem than U :D

Life was really Big during those few days...a week full of tired evenings yet rejuvenated selves by the early morning, Back to work...Back to people who really are changing the way we perceive the field of AI. Ofcourse, the platform really setup, and i also got a lot of confidence feeling that i am no less than them. And the kind of work i am doing is worth a mention here.


So many people that i have met....Some very big...some pretty small (as small as iam).....Size measured in Experience here.

People as big as Roman De' Lopez, Manuela Veloso, Fritz, Peter Stone(he's a Gem), Prof. Raj Reddy.....
As small as our friends from Spain Salim Kannaan, J'ose' or even the chineese friend Ricardo...


The moments during the week were really one of the most unbelievable & Unforgettable.


I'm Feeling Lucky.


Following are a few pics...
