C S L I M O N T H L Y March 15, 1986 Stanford Vol. 1, No. 1 A monthly publication of The Center for the Study of Language and Information, Ventura Hall, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 Editor's note This is the first issue of CSLI's monthly report of research activities. This issue introduces CSLI and then characterizes each of its current research projects; following issues will report on individual projects in more detail and discuss some of the research questions raised here. What is CSLI? CSLI is a research institute devoted to building theories about the nature of information and how it is conveyed, processed, stored, and transformed through the use of language and in computation. Researchers include computer scientists, linguists, philosophers, psychologists, and workers in artificial intelligence from several San Francisco Bay Area institutions as well as graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars from around the world. [...] [The full description of the institute and its projects would take four AIList digests. I am forwarding this fragment of the new monthly so that those who might be interested can request copies. -- KIL]
