Welcome back, QUESTers!
I hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing winter break. As many of you know, the 2011 Senior Conference was a huge success. In this issue, read about some highlights from the event, as well as some comments from the winning team. There was also a transition in QSO leadership at the end of the semester, so make sure to check out the new "Student Profile- QSO Edition" section to learn a little more about the new officers.
With a full six weeks off of school for winter break, QUEST students have certainly had time to unwind and have fun, so read about what your peers have been up to over break. In addition, this issue features a QUEST alumnus from Cohort 4 whose story is both interesting and inspiring.
The Quality Guild would like to welcome everyone back for the Spring semester. We are looking forward to seeing you all in the coming weeks!
Best,
Kathryn Weiland
QUEST Graduate Assistant

BMGT490H: An Exercise in Teamwork
Article by Ryan Murphy (Q17, of Project of the Year team "A.I.deas")
Throughout the Fall '11 semester, I had the pleasure of working with Jason Felder, Jeff Jacobs, Shiran Beroukhim, and Avi Prince on an interesting 490 project dealing with artificial intelligence and, specifically, machine reading. The project itself was interesting, novel, and, initially, completely foreign to me. In fact, at first, none of us (except for Jeff, who joined the squad a few days late) really knew much about machine reading or ontologies or DARPA or any of the elements of the final project that we were going to be working with. But, that proved unimportant...Read More
