The Following is just a quick sampling of theses produced by members of the AI Lab (the sampling process was e-mail sent to everyone asking if they had web pointers to their theses and these are the ones I've gotten back).

There are many more masters theses listed simply because those people are still around the lab and so it was easier to bother them until they provided links to their theses.
