At the first UK Robot Ethics workshop on 25th March 2013, Alan Winfield offered - for discussion - the proposition that robotics is facing a Crisis of Expectations. And not for the first time. He argues that one possible consequence is (another) AI winter.

SIG-11: Second International Workshop on Stochastic Image Grammars
Syntactic description of images took off in the late 1960s due to the seminal work done by R. Narasimhan, K. S. Fu, A. Rosenfeld, and their collaborators. The notion of stochastic image grammars has come a long way from assigning probabilities to production rules, in the early work, to a more general notion that encompasses hierarchical representations of objects and events, semantic and spatial-temporal contexts, taxonomy of visual categories, and their associated learning and inference algorithms.
This event will be held on 12th Nov 2011
Recent work shows that the virtue of image grammars lies in their expressive power to represent an exponentially large number of object and event configurations by using a relatively much smaller vocabulary, and a few compositional rules. This, in turn, enables rich image interpretations.
