Makog-regisztr�ci�

by L�szl� Nemes

Kedves Kollégák, Elkészült az idei Debrecenben megrendezésre kerülõ MAKOG elõzetes programja, illetve a regisztrációval kapcsolatos árkalkuláció. Helyszín: DAB székház (Bolyai utca 25., megközelíthetõ a 31-es busszal, ami a vasúti pályaudvartól indul és közvetlenül elõtte áll meg /DAB-megálló/) Részvételi díj: 13.000 HUF; diákoknak: 9.000 HUF Ez tartalmazza a regisztrációs költséget, az absztraktfüzetet (stb.), pólót, fogadási részvételt (hétfõ), étkezést (3 ebéd, 2 reggeli, 1 vacsora) /az ebédek és a keddi vacsora helyszíne a DAB-hoz igen közeli Arany Kakas étterem)/. (Vegetáriánus vagy egyéb igényeket kérjük jelezzék.) A részvételi díj helyben fizetendõ az étkezések anyagi rendezése miatt. Szálláslehetõségek: A legoptimálisabb az Egyetem területén (a DAB-hoz közel lévõ igen színvonalas Diák Apartman Szálló (itt tartjuk a hétfõi fogadást is). A különbözõ lehetõségek, árak megtalálhatók a következõ helyen: www.diakszallo.ini.hu. Felhívnám a figyelmet a diákkedvezményekre! Arra kérnék továbbá mindenkit, hogy szobaigényét nálunk jelezze, a foglalást elintézzük. Rendelkezésre áll továbbá 4 (szintén színvonalas) kétágyas szoba az ex-Kossuth Nagyerdei Kollégiumában (diákoknak 5100 Ft két éjszaka). Van továbbá egy egyszerûbb és némileg távolibb kollégium is (Benczúr), ott diákoknak egy éjszaka 1700 Ft, a második éjszaka pedig 1400 Ft (itt 7 kétágyas és 1 háromágyas szoba áll rendelkezésre). További, városi szálláslehetõségek (panziók etc.) találhatók a www.debrecen.hu Vendégoldalán. Utazás: Azt gondolom, nincs értelme a menetrendeket felsorolni, az elvirán pontosan hozzáférhetõk (www.elvira.hu). JELENTKEZÉSI HATÁRIDÕ: JANUÁR 20!!! Nagyon kérünk mindenkit, hogy jövõ csütörtökig minden (akár elõadással, akár anélkül) részt venni szándékozó, küldjön egy jelentkezési levelet a makog13(a)hotmail.com címre. Erre az étteremmel való egyezkedések, a pólókészítések és egyéb technikai okok folytán van szükség (elõzetes regisztráció hiányában egyszerûen nem garantálhatjuk az étkezések biztosítását). Ebben tüntessék fel a kiválasztott szállásmegoldást is. SZAKMAI PROGRAM A szakmai program hétfõn 11 órakor kezdõdik. Igyekeztünk minden absztraktot elfogadni. Ezen felül beiktattunk egy kerekasztal-beszélgetést is. Az egyes elõadások ideje 20 perc. A jelenlegi változat elõzetesnek tekinthetõ, amennyiben pontos idõpontokat egyelõre nem tartalmaz (hamarosan szolgálunk ilyennel is). Ha valaki esetleg küldött absztraktot, de nem szerepel az elõadók között, jelezze, hozzánk ennyi absztrakt érkezett be. MAKOG13 (Debrecen, 2005. 01. 31. - 02. 02.) Elõzetes program HÉTFÕ 1.

Fw: Final CFP: AKRR'05 incl. Adaptive Models of Knowledge, Language and

by Kampis

From: Timo Honkela tho(a)james.hut.fi Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 13:48:08 -0800 ( PST) To: cogling(a)ucsd.edu Subject: Final CFP: AKRR'05 incl. Adaptive Models of Knowledge, Language and Dear Colleagues, I would like to express our enthusiasm over next summer's conference on Adaptive Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (AKRR'05) In June 15-17 2005. Keynote speakers include: - Prof. Jonathan Evans (University of Plymouth) who has conducted extensive research on human reasoning emphasizing that reasoning is primarily pragmatic, probabilistic and highly contextualised by relevant prior knowledge and beliefs. - Dr. Aapo Hyvarinen (University of Helsinki) who is one of the leading experts of Independent Component Analysis that appears to be a basis for many exciting developments including "next generation Latent Semantic Analysis". - Dr. Gabriella Vigliocco (University College London) who has conducted research on many exciting topics related to language processing combining behavioural experiments, imaging studies and statistical models. As a part of the AKRR'05 conference, we organize AMKLC'05 symposium on "Adaptive Models of Knowledge, Language and Cognition". AMKLC'05 is chaired by Ann Russell, University of Toronto. The programme committee includes number of prominent researchers including Angelo Cangelosi (University of Plymouth), Brian MacWhinney (CMU) and Chris Sinha (University of Portsmouth). Also in the AKRR'05 conference we have a very high-quality programme committee that includes, for example, Lee Giles (Pennsylvania State University; developer of CiteSeer) and Deb Roy (MIT Media Lab; director of Cognitive Machines Research). In addition, you might find the following two symposia interesting: 1) Emergent Models of Language for Speech Processing and Machine Translation (EML'05), chaired by Krista Lagus, Helsinki University of Technology; 2) Knowledge Representation in Bioinformatics (KRBIO'05), chaired by Catherine Bounsaythip, VTT Biotechnology. Finnish Cognitive Linguistics Association (FiCLA) organizes a preconference workshop on "Cognitivism Meets Dynamism" chaired by Oili Karihalme (University of Turku). Please, find more detailed information below and at the conference web site http://www.cis.hut.fi/AKRR05/ Please, note the submission deadline 29th of January for most of the events. For EML'05 symposium the deadline is 19 March 2005. Best regards, Timo Honkela ------------------------=====================------------------------ Final Call for Papers International and Interdisciplinary Conference on ADAPTIVE KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION AND REASONING Espoo, Finland, 15-17 June 2005 Helsinki University of Technology http://www.cis.hut.fi/AKRR05/ ---------------------=============================------------------- Conference Topic ---------------- AKRR'05 conference focuses on adaptive approaches of knowledge representation and reasoning. The basic idea is to bring together evidence from various disciplines including computer science, experimental psychology, brain research and cognitive science. Methodogical basis lies in probability theory, statistics, artificial neural networks, dynamical systems theory and related disciplines. Specific symposium and workshop topics in the conference are: * Knowledge Representation of Biological Information http://www.cis.hut.fi/AKRR05/krbio05/ The KRBIO'05 symposium focuses on the representation of information in several areas of life sciences taking into account the complexity, dynamics and co-occurrence of the phenomena, and the heterogeneous sources of information. * Adaptive Models of Knowledge, Language and Cognition http://www.cis.hut.fi/AKRR05/amklc05/ The AMKLC'05 symposium focuses on emergence, complexity and self-organization in cognitive and social systems: how knowledge is being created and established within human and computer-mediated networks and the role of language as an adaptive medium for knowledge building. * Emergent Models of Language for Speech Processing and Machine Translation In the EML'05 symposium, the use of emergent models in the area of language technology is explored. For example, we are interested in the discovery of models of syntatical structures and grammars, language models and their constituents, basic representational units such as morphemes and phonemes. * FiCLA Workshop: Cognitivism meets Dynamism We invite presentations on approaches related to the dynamical phenomena within cognitive linguistics. Themes can be related to categorization, constructions, forces, motivations, presuppositions and activity. For the AKRR'05 conference we invite novel high-quality papers that are related to the conference themes including but not limited to: * contextuality in statistical analysis and reasoning * Bayesian models of learning and reasoning * dynamical systems models of knowledge * spatial representations of knowledge * analyses of the limitations of logic-based representations and reasoning * highly contextual reasoning based on very high-dimensional representations * statistical machine learning * pattern-based reasoning * unsupervised and reinforcement learning models for knowledge acquisition and representation * knowledge capture * continuous formal systems * emergent representations based on independent component analysis (ICA) and self-organizing maps (SOM) * emergence of symbolic representations * cognitive models of perceptually grounded reasoning processes * knowledge representation and reasoning in non-stationary environments * explicit and implicit knowledge * internal and external representations * models of temporal processes and reasoning * subjective and intersubjective representation of time * knowledge representation and reasoning in the brain * non-symbolic ontologies and adaptive knowledge representation for the web * adaptive, dynamical and probabilistic representations of social and societal structures and processes * adaptive knowledge representation of industrial processes * probabilistic and pattern-based reasoning on financial and economical phenomena * emergent and evolutionary representations for creative and design processes Proceedings and Special Journal Issue ------------------------------------- The conference papers will be published by Helsinki University of Technology as printed proceedings and they will also be made available through the web to ensure wide distribution. In addition, the authors of the best papers will be invited to extend their papers for journal publication(s) including a special issue of the International Journal of Neural Systems.

Constructive Logic for Automated Software Engineering (CLASE) at ETAPS deadline extension

by Iman Hafiz Poernomo

Dear colleagues, I draw your attention to the following workshop at ETAPS 2005 in Edinburgh: Constructive Logic for Automated Software Engineering http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/events/clase/ Please find the CFP attached (also reprinted below). The title of the workshop sounds rather specific, but we are open to any kind of type theoretic/categorical/logic-based theories/methodologies/tools that could help make software construction more reliable. Due to several requests, it has been decided to move to paper submission deadline for CLASE to February 15th. This also gives you a chance to submit something! Long papers and abstracts can be submitted. After the workshop, papers will be published in a volume of Elsevier's ENTCS (abstracts can be extended for publication in this also). Publication of best papers is also expected to be given in a special issue of a major logic journal -- so it is well worth putting something in. The workshop promises to be an interesting one and we are lucky to have Alan Bundy as invited speaker -- so please forward this CFP to any colleagues who might be interested. Best wishes, Iman -------------- Iman Poernomo Lecturer Department of Computer Science King's College London iman(a)dcs.kcl.ac.uk CALL FOR PAPERS Constructive Logic for Automated Software Engineering (CLASE 2005) http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/events/clase/ Satellite event of ETAPS 2005, Edinburgh, 3rd April 2005 Scope This workshop will provide an avenue for work that extends traditional methods that derive from constructive logic for synthesizing complex software. After more than 30 years of research, program synthesis using constructive logic constitutes a mature field with an established theory and set of best practices. Recent years have seen an interest in providing analogous results to other logical systems and programming languages. This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to share ideas on the foundations, techniques, tools, and applications of constructive logic and its methods to automated software engineering technology. This workshop will provide an avenue for work that extends traditional methods that derive from constructive logic for synthesizing complex software. Software engineering is concerned with processes and techniques for analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of software systems. Automated software engineering is concerned with computational techniques to automate these tasks (at least partially) in order to aid reliability, trustworthiness and productivity of code and of the engineering process itself. The application of constructive logic to small-scale functional program synthesis is well known. One pervasive idea is that the constructive content of a proof of a formula can be transformed into a functional program that satisfies the formula when the latter is regarded as a specification. Such work, based upon the Curry-Howard isomorphism and higher-order type theory, constitutes the area referred to as the proofs-as-programs paradigm. Other areas that are susceptible to the use of constructive logic include ? Type theory in general, ? Proof planning, ? Constructive tableaux, ? Labelled Deductive systems and hybrid logics in general, ? Deductive logic programming. The advantage of proofs-as-programs techniques is that the task of programming a function is reduced to reasoning with domain knowledge, transforming constructive proofs to a commonly used functional programming language that can encode a simply typed lambda calculus, such as SML, Scheme or Haskell. After more than 30 years of research, proofs-as-programs constitutes a mature field with an established theory and set of best practices. Recent years have seen an interest in providing analogous results to other logical systems and programming languages. This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to share ideas on the foundations, techniques, tools, and applications of constructive logic and its methods to automated software engineering technology. Topics We encourage submissions on techniques that involve constructive reasoning, analysis and synthesis for complex software engineering. Examples include: ? proofs-as-programs adapted to logics other than intuitionistic logic (e.g., linear logic, Hennesy-Milner specification systems, modal logic, temporal logic) ? proofs-as-programs for program synthesis in complex programming paradigms (e.g., distributed, object-oriented, component-based or embedded systems), ? constructive logics for semantic foundations of modelling and requirements languages, ? integration of ideas from constructive logic into software engineering process design, ? evaluative case studies of constructive methods for large scale system development, ? industrial strength, constructive synthesis, system implementations. Guest Speaker Alan Bundy, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, UK. Dates Submission deadline: 11th February 2005 Notification of acceptance/rejection: 21st February 2005 Final version: 28th February 2005 Submissions There are two kinds of submission accepted: short (no longer than 2 pages) and long (no longer than 10 pages) papers. Submissions should include author's full name(s), affiliation(s) and address(es), phone- and fax-number(s) and email address(es). Papers in PS or PDF-format should be emailed to the address iman 'at symbol' dcs.kcl.ac.uk, with the subject heading "CLASE submission". All valid submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Publication Final versions of accepted full papers are to be published in a special issue of the Electronic Notes in Computer Science (ENTCS). Authors of accepted short papers will have the opportunity to submit expanded versions of their papers for a second round of review for publication in the special issue.

Fw: CMNA 5 at IJCAI 2005

by Kampis

Original Message: ----------------- From: Floriana Grasso F.Grasso(a)csc.liv.ac.uk Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 10:35:39 -0800 ( PST) To: cogling(a)ucsd.edu Subject: CMNA 5 at IJCAI 2005 CMNA 5 5th Workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument A one day workshop to be held in the IJCAI 2005 Workshop Programme, 30 Jul - 1 Aug 2005, Edinburgh, UK http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~floriana/CMNA5.html Important Dates --------------- 20 Feb 2005 - Deadline long papers 20 Mar 2005 - Deadline short papers and demos 20 Apr 2005 - Notification of acceptance 20 May 2005 - Camera-ready papers 30 Jul 2005 - CMNA workshop at IJCAI Call for Papers --------------- The series of workshops on Computational Models of Natural Argument is continuing to attract high quality submissions from researchers around the world. CMNA 1 was held at ICCS in San Francisco in 2001, CMNA 2 was held at ECAI in Lyon in 2002, CMNA 3 was held at IJCAI in Acapulco in 2003, and CMNA 4 was held again at ECAI in Valencia in 2004. Like the past editions, CMNA 5 intends to recognise and consolidate the critical mass that research in the field overlapping Argumentation Theory and Artificial Intelligence has developed in recent years. AI has witnessed a growth in uses of research in the philosophical theory of argumentation, in informal logic, and in dialectics throughout many of its subdisciplines. Recent successes include agent system negotiation protocols that demonstrate higher levels of sophistication and robustness; argumentation-based models of evidential relations and legal processes that are more expressive; models of language generation that use rhetorical structures to produce effective arguments; groupwork tools that use argument to structure interaction and debate; computer-based learning tools that exploit monological and dialogical argument structures in designing pedagogic environments; decision support systems that build upon argumentation theoretic models of deliberation to better integrate with human reasoning; and models of knowledge engineering structured around core concepts of argument to simplify knowledge elicitation and representation problems. Similarly, argumentation theory has benefitted from applied AI work on new tools for teaching and research in argumentation and critical thinking, and from AI problems and issues that have offered a proving ground and evaluation framework for theories of argumentation. The CMNA series is acting to support this community. Areas of Interest ----------------- The workshop focuses on the issue of modelling "natural" argumentation. The need for more "naturalness" has been raised in several occasions, and several interpretations have been given to the attribute. Especially when the human is involved in the loop, arguments which are, for instance, expressed in natural language are definitely more appropriate. But the use of human languages is not the only way to make the reasoning process closer to its addressees. Some researchers have, for instance, acknowledged that the development of the argument itself can take advantages of human reasoning abilities and, among other things, the ability to infer implicit steps of the argument. Naturalness may involve the use of means which are more immediate than language to illustrate a point, such as graphics or multimedia. Naturalness can also relate to the preference for one particular style of reasoning as opposed to another to structure complex arguments. Or to the use of more sophisticated rhetorical devices, interacting at various layers of abstraction. Or the exploitation of "extra-rational" characteristics of the audience, taking into account emotions and affective factors. In particular, contributions will be solicited addressing, but not limited to, the following areas of interest: - The characteristics of "natural" arguments: ontological aspects and cognitive issues. - The use of models from informal logic and argumentation theory, and in particular, approaches to specific schools of thought developed in informal logic and argumentation. - Rhetoric and affect: the role of emotions, personalities, etc. in models of argumentation. - The roles of licentiousness and deceit and the ethical implications of implemented systems demonstrating such features. - The linguistic characteristics of natural argumentation, including discourse markers, sentence format, referring expressions, and style. - Persuasive discourse processing (discourse goals and structure, speaker/hearer models, content selection, etc.). Language dependence and multilingual approaches. Empirical work based on corpora looking at these topics would be especially welcomed. - Non-monotonic, defeasible and uncertain argumentation. Natural argumentation and media: visual arguments, multi-modal arguments, spoken arguments. - Models of argumentation in multi-agent systems inspired by or based upon theories of human argument. - Empirically driven models of argument in AI and Law. Evaluative arguments and their application in AI systems (such as decision support and advice giving). - Issues of domain specificity, and in particular, the independence of argumentation techniques from the domain of application. - Applications of computer supported collaborative argumentation, in realistic domains in which argument plays a key role, including pedagogy, e-democracy and public debate. - Applications of argumentation based systems, including, for example, the pedagogical, health-related, political, and promotional. - Methods to better convey the structure of complex argument, including representation and summarisation. - Tools for interacting with structures of argument, including visualisation tools and interfaces supporting natural, stylised or formal dialogue. - The building of computational resources such as online corpora related to argumentation. - Early results from applications and implementations of the ideas from earlier CMNA workshops. Submission instructions ----------------------- The workshop encourages submissions in three categories: - Long papers, either reporting on completed work or offering a polemic discussion on a burning issue (up to 6000 words) - Short papers describing work in progress (up to 3000 words) - Demonstration of implemented systems: submissions should be accompanied by written reports (up to 3000 words). Authors should contact the organisers to ensure suitable equipment is available. Electronic submissions should be received by one of the organisers no later than 20 February 2005 for long papers, and 20 March 2005 for short papers and demonstration reports. Extended versions of selected papers accepted to CMNA 1, CMNA 2 and CMNA 3 are to appear in a special issue of the International Journal of Intelligent Systems.

A developmental neuroscience perspective on fluid cognition as an aspect of human cognitive ability AUTHOR: Clancy Blair ABSTRACT: This paper considers the relation of fluid cognitive functioning to general intelligence. A neurobiological model differentiating working memory/executive function cognitive processes of the prefrontal cortex from aspects of psychometrically defined general intelligence is presented. Work examining the rise in mean intelligence test performance between normative cohorts, the neuropsychology and neuroscience of cognitive function in typically and atypically developing human populations, and stress, brain development, and corticolimbic connectivity in human and nonhuman animal models is reviewed and found to provide evidence of mechanisms through which early experience affects the development of an aspect of cognition closely related to but distinct from general intelligence. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of emotion in fluid cognition and on research indicating fluid cognitive deficits associated with early hippocampal pathology and with dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis stress response system. Findings are seen to be consistent with the idea of an independent fluid cognitive construct and to assist with the interpretation of findings from the study of early compensatory education for children facing psychosocial adversity and from behavior genetic research on intelligence. It is concluded that ongoing development of neurobiologically grounded measures of fluid cognitive skills appropriate for young children will play a key role in understanding early mental development and the adaptive success to which it is related, particularly for young children facing social and economic disadvantage. Specifically, in the evaluation of the efficacy of compensatory education efforts such as Head Start and the readiness for school of children from diverse backgrounds it is important to distinguish fluid cognition from psychometrically defined general intelligence. FULL TEXT: http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Blair-04012003/Referees/ This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Please DO NOT prepare a commentary unless you eventually receive a formal invitation, indicating that it was possible to include your name on the final list, which is constructed so as to balance areas of expertise and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable at the URL that follows the abstract and keywords above. ========================================================================= NEW BBS CALL INSTRUCTIONS ========================================================================= Please DO NOT respond to this email.
