I've posted a new Seminar roster for the next few months here:
http://www.clt.mq.edu.au/Events/Seminars.html . Please have a look and let
me know if I need to make any changes.

Starting 7th May the first Monday of every month will be allocated to a PhD
student discussion.

Under the current structure of LTG seminars, everyone only gets to talk a
couple of times a year.  For PhD students, it's more useful to have more
regular feedback from other members of the group.  The plan is to, once a
month, present work in progress very concisely, and hold discussion over to
later (lunch, or some other time).  We envisage it working as follows:

* Each PhD student gets 7 minutes.

* Students will outline what they've done since the last one of these
meetings, in terms of concrete results (i.e. carried out experiments of the
following form; defined a knowledge representation of the following form;
...); and also what you're planning to do before the next meeting, in terms
of specific goals (e.g. will carry out this experiment, with the aim of
answering this question; will implement this subsystem, with the aim of
demonstrating this via proof-of-concept; ...).

* Slides are optional.

* Clarification questions are OK, but no discussion derailing presentations.
