[mercury-users] Paper on Mercury from AI practitioner's standpoint

[Gregory D. Weber]

I'm writing a paper which I hope to present to an AI conference this
spring, describing my experiences with Mercury in reimplementing the
machine learning program CN2.  The paper will have no new information
for experts in programming languages; it is simply a practitioner's
report on his first use of Mercury for serious application programming.

I invite comments to help ensure that I do not misrepresent
the language to potential users.  A draft is posted at
http://mypage.iu.edu/~gdweber/papers/drafts/mercury.pdf.

Title: Mercury as an Artificial Intelligence Programming Language
Abstract: This paper describes the author's experience of using the
  programming language Mercury to re-implement the machine learning
  program CN2.  Mercury is a purely declarative language,
  closely related to Prolog, and designed for speed.

but I cannot find any trace of it in the archive.)
