Now, see, this is what I was talking about last time<\/a>. At the Game Developer’s Conference today, after a long and informative series of talks, I ended up having an impromptu roundtable about language model planning, followed by a dinner with a friend talking about the history of the conference from a behind-the-scenes perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The discussions were fascinating, and there are potentials for integrating these new language model technologies with older techniques like logic programming to very good results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But, by the time the dinner was done, I was exhausted, and crashed back at my room, trying to sleep off some of the effects of two nights of rich dinners, no sleep, and hard-core information overload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I still had more work to do, creating my slides for the upcoming HRI in Academia and Industry Workshop<\/a> at the AAAI Spring Symposium Series, not to mention my document updates on the main social navigation benchmarking paper itself. And, of course, all of that could not get finished in one night, not if I want to get up early enough to attend what are sure to be packed talks tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But my point, and I did have one, is that if I had relied on myself to blog at the end of the day “when everything was done”, I wouldn’t have blogged at all, because everything is NOT done. But, since I had momentum from earlier in the day, it was easy to pull up the window and put together a quick post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, momentum is real. Once you start doing something, it’s easier to keep doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
