Summary: Looking for S/W job (especially AI)
Date: 15 Apr 92 08:47:03 GMT



 
Dear Prospective Employer,
	I am looking for a position in the AI area but am willing to
take on any postion of a software nature. 
	My experience in the field of AI and related areas (Cognitive
Science and Psychology) goes far beyond anything I have been taught at
University. Over the past 5 years I have discovered ways to make
computers really intelligent through programming. These are my own
ideas and they present an alternative perspective to the creation of
an intelligent machine. My hope is that I will publish these ideas in
the near future.
	You no doubt have other applicants who have a more
conventional view of AI, but what I am offering is a source of new,
and practical ideas which in my view can really change the shape of AI
as we know it. All I am asking is that you allow me the opportunity to 
prove it.
	Further details can be sent upon request. Thank you for your
consideration.

Please find my resume below,

		Partha Choudhury
