Push Singh

 Sadly, the pioneering researcher in AI, Push Singh, passed away on February 28th. He was responsible for the Open Mind Common Sense project, ConceptNet, and is generally responsible for brining AI back to its pioneering past.

You can read more about him at the web page put up by the Media Lab. He was slated to become faculty there in 2007 to lead the Common Sense Computing group. The Media Lab has also created a memorial fund in his honor, and I hope that everyone would consider donating to honor this incredible person. Truly, the world lost something special when he left us.
