This <br>talk will describe some of the lessons learned along the way, ranging from <br>representation of knowledge, to choice of what knowledge to represent, to <br>knowledge acquisition methodologies, to reasoning strategies and tactics. It <br>will showcase some of the applications that forced Cyc to grapple with large <br>amounts of data, multiple sources, contradictory information, and so on, which <br>have largely come from the intelligence communi

Dr. Lenat's work in machine <br>learning won the Computers and Thought Award; he helped establish the AAAI, and is a Fellow of the <br>AAAI and of the AAAS. Prior to Cyc, Dr. Lenat was a computer science faculty member at Stanford and <br>CMU, and he will briefly touch on a few "learning experiences" he had back then, that laid the foundation <br>for his being able to make the mistakes of the last 25 years.</div></td></tr><tr><td><br></td><td> </td><td><br></td></tr><tr><td>10:00 - 10:20</td><td> </td><td align="left">Coffee Break</td></tr><tr><td><br></td><td> </td><td><br></td></tr><tr><td>10:20 - 11:40</td><td> </td><td align="left">Plenary Paper Session</td></tr><tr style="font-size: 8pt; color: black; "><td align="right" valign="top">10:20 - 11:00</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top" style="font-styl
