17 Years of Serendip
Serendip began as a conversation in the winter of 1993-94. Paul loved to tell this story in subsequent years: Ann was taking a bioengineering grad-level class at Penn, and was building neural network models to simulate learning and vision. Paul said he thought it would be fun to do something with neural networks, but Ann really wanted to do something with the "World Wide Web," this brand new thing. So Paul agreed that we could do a website, and Ann agreed that we could do neural networks.... And we never got around to doing neural networks!
