Google tech talks published a bunch of video from AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) 2011 today, they're all linked from the conference site. I haven't watched any of them yet but the titles sound interesting.
Off-topic tidbit: He (like Eliezer) pronounces "Bayesian"
to rhyme with "Asian". He does a similar thing with with
"Gaussian", pronouncing it "GOW-shan" (0:45:33).
It seems like the more common pronunciations are
"BAY-zee-an" and "GOW-see-an" (that is, name + "ian"), but
I'm basing that on a small sample size.
"Bayes" is pronounced /beɪz/.
I pronounce "Bayesian" /ˈbeɪziən/.
Noah Goodman and Eliezer pronounce it /ˈbeɪʒən/.
The Random House unabridged dictionary (1993) gives both
pronunciations (and the OED does not have "Bayes" or
"Bayesian" entries).
"Gauss" is pronounced /gaʊs/.
I pronounce "Gaussian" /ˈgaʊsiən/.
Noah Goodman pronounces it /ˈgaʊʃən/.
The Random House unabridged and the OED (1989) give only
/ˈgaʊsiən/.
