This afternoon, I gave a CIBM presentation, an hour long talk on my ILP research. It was good to get an overall clarification and put it in perspective, as the goal of these seminars is to explain your research to people not in your field. However, there were not many questions at the end, so it was either over their heads or not really that interesting...

Later that night, it was once again a tuesday night games extravaganza. Laura and I started off with Yinsh, an abstract game for two players. It involves flipping pieces as in Othello, but is deeper in how you can place them and when you can flip. As others showed up, 7 people in total, Keith, Kathleen, Mike, Matt A, Matt L, Laura and I, we played Zendo, an inductive logic game (similar to my research) where players build sculptures and a master tells you if they're good or bad, and your goal is to figure out how they're making discriminations. We followed our playing with pyramids with a four-person Puerto Rico, one of the most popular board games out there, until 1 am. Good games, can't wait to play them again.
