MOTIVATION
---------
The collaboration between Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence had
a strong impact for both the disciplines. In AI this partnership has
driven to the realization of intelligent systems based on plausible models
of human cognition. In turn, in cognitive science, the partnership allowed
the development of cognitive models and architectures (based on
information processing, on representations and their manipulation etc.),
providing greater understanding on human thinking.
The 2nd edition of the AI and Cognition workshop (AIC 2014) aims at putting
together researchers coming from different domains (e.g., artificial
intelligence,
cognitive science, computer science, engineering, philosophy, social
sciences, etc.) working on the interdisciplinary field of cognitively
inspired artificial systems. Both papers spotlighting theoretical issues
and experimental research in the field are welcome. The submission of
papers regarding the presentation of realized or under-development
cognitively inspired systems and/or applications is encouraged.
We also particularly welcome papers raising challenging questions,
innovative ideas and out of the box thinking and which, as a consequence,
can help to promote interesting discussions at the workshop.
Participation of younger researchers and the submission of research
papers also at early stage of work is encouraged as well.
TOPICS
------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Knowledge Representation and Cognition (e.g. Neural Networks models,
Ontologies and representation of common sense etc.)
- Cognitive Architectures (e.g. SOAR, ACT-R) and Cognitive modelling
for Artificial Systems
- B.I.C.A. (Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures) and systems
- Cognitive Robotics
- Evaluation of cognitively driven AI systems compared with other AI
approaches
- Cognition and Semantic Web
- Methodological open questions on AI and Cognition
- Automated reasoning: deductive, probabilistic, diagnostic,
causal and analogical inference
- Historical and theoretical relation among Cognitive Science and
Artificial Intelligence
- Knowledge discovery and acquisition
- Modelling of human learning and knowledge acquisition in complex domains
- Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing & Understanding
- Logic and Reasoning
- Evolutionary Computation
- Cognitively inspired Machine Learning
