My interests include (but are not limited to):

I'm always on the lookout for more information about courses, talks, or papers at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience.

Current Projects

Current instantiations of my interests for which there are observable consequences that you might be interested in.
Graph Bisection
With Stuart Shieber and Joe Marks, I've been working on search-based optimization algorithms for the NP-complete problem of graph bisection. My aim is to evaluate methods based on indirect search, in which the representation modified by the search operators is decoded by a heuristic into a problem solution.
A Model of Lexical Access
With Alfonso Caramazza in the Psych Dept, I am building a computational model of a theory of lexical access. This attempts to explain how one's intended words are expressed in sounds, while accounting for speech errors, naming experiments, and patterns of impairment in brain-damaged subjects.
Computer Science 182
I am a teaching fellow again for CS 182 (Intelligent Machines: Reasoning, Actions, and Plans) during the fall term 1996. If you have questions or comments about the course, please let me know!

Publications

Before I turned to graph bisection, I did some work on number partitioning:

Some Other WWW Sites

A few basics: For a more comprehensive list of useful sites, look at an old copy of my Netscape bookmarks.

If you think you know something that I should know, but that I might not, please tell it to me!

Thanks,

Wheeler
