Re: conference call

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS We are happy to announce a conference and workshop on Multidisciplinary Colloquium on Rules and Rule-Following: Philosophy, Linguistics and Psychology between April 30-May 1-2, 1998 at Janus Pannonius University Pecs, Hungary Keynote speakers (who have already accepted invitation): philosophy: Gyoergy Kampis Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest linguistics: Pierre-Yves Raccah Idl-CNRS, Paris psychology: Csaba Pleh Dept. of General Pschology Lorand Eoetvoes University, Budapest Organizing Committee: Laszlo Tarnay (JPTE, Dep. of Philosophy) Laszlo I. Komlosi (ELTE, Dept. of Psychology) Andras Bocz (JPTE, Dept. of English Studies) e-mail: tarnay(a)btk.jpte.hu; komlosi(a)btk.jpte.hu; bocz(a)btk.jpte.hu Advisory Board: Gabor Forrai (Budapest) Gyoergy Kampis (Budapest) Mike Harnish (Tucson) Andras Kertesz (Debrecen) Kuno Lorenz (Saarbruecken) Pierre-Yves Raccah (Paris) Janos S. Petifi (Macerata) Aims and scopes: The main aim of the conference is to bring together cholars from the field of cognitive linguistics, philosophy and psychology to investigate the concept of rule and to address various aspects of rule-following. Ever since Wittgenstein formulated in Philosophical investigations his famous 201 concerning a kind of rule-following which is not an interpretation, the concept of rule has become a key but elusive idea in almost every discipline and approach. And not only in the human sciences. No wonder, since without this idea the whole edifice of human (and possibly all other kinds of) rationality would surely collapse. With the rise of cognitive science, and especially the appearance of connectionist models and networks, however, the classical concept of rule is once again seriously contested. To put it very generally, there is an ongoing debate between the classical conception in which rules appear as a set of formulizable initial conditions or constraints on external operations linking different successive states of a given system (algorithms) and a dynamic conception in which there is nothing that could be correlated with a prior idea of internal well-formedness of the system's states. The debate centers on the representability of rules: either they are conceived of as meta-representations, or they are mere faon de parler concerning the development of complex systems. Idealizable on the one hand, while token-oriented on the other. Something to be implemented on the one hand, while self-controlling, backpropagational processing, on the other. There is however a common idea that almost all kinds of rule-conceptions address: the problem of learning. This idea reverberates from wittgenstenian pragmatics to strategic non-verbal and rule-governed speech behavior, from perceiving similarities to mental processing. Here are some haunting questions: - How do we acquire knowledge if there are no regularities in the world around us? - But how can we perceive those regularities? - And how do we reason on the basis of that knowledge if there are no observable constraints on infererring? - But if there are, where do they come from and how are they actually implemented mentally? - And finally: how do we come to act rationally, that is, in accordance with what we have perceived, processed and inferred? We are interested in all ways of defining rules and in all aspects of rule following, from the definiton of law, rule, regularity, similarity and analogy to logical consequence, argumentational and other inferences, statistical and linguistic rules, practical and strategic reasoning, pragmatic and praxeological activities. We expect contribution from the following reseach fields: game-theory, action theory, argumentation theory, cognitive science, linguitics, philosophy of language, epistemology, pragmatics, psychology and semiotics. We would be happy to include some contributions from natural sciences such as neuro-biology, physiology or brain sciences. The conference is organized in three major sections: philosophy, psychology and linguistics with three keynote lectures. Then contributions of 30 minutes (20 for paper and 10 for discussion) follow. We also plan to organize a workshop at the end of each section. Abstracts: Abstracts should be one-page (maximum 23 lines) specifying area of contribution and the particular aspect of rule-following to be addressed. Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to tarnay(a)btk.jpte.hu or bocz(a)btk.jpte.hu. Hard copies of abstracts may be sent to: Laszlo Tarnay Department of Philosphy Janus Pannonius University H-7624 Pecs, Hungray. Important dates: Deadline for submission: Jan.-15, 1998 Notification of acceptance: Febr.-28, 1998 conference: April 30-May 1-2, 1998

The course is aimed primarily at researchers who wish to exploit neural network models in their teaching and/or research and it will provide a general introduction to connectionist modelling, biologically plausible neural networks and brain function through lectures and exercises on Macintoshs and PCs. The course is interdisciplinary in content though many of the illustrative examples are taken from cognitive and developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. The instructors with primary responsibility for teaching the course are Kim Plunkett and Edmund Rolls. No prior knowledge of computational modelling will be required though simple word processing skills will be assumed. Participants will be encourages to start work on their own modelling projects during the Summer School. The cost of participation in the Summer School is =A3950 for Faculty and =A3750 for Graduate Students. This figure covers the=20 cost of accommodation (bed and breakfast at St. John's College), registration and all literature required for the Summer School. Participants will be expected to cover their own travel and meal costs. A small number of partial bursaries will be available for graduate students. Applicants should indicate whether they wish to be considered for a graduate student scholarship but are advised to seek their own funding as well, since in previous years the number of graduate student applications has far exceeded the number of scholarships available.

Just a reminder: Symposium on linguistic creativity

by Douglas Hofstadter

Just to remind you of the event coming up this Saturday involving Gilles Fauconnier, Ashwin Ram, and Mark Turner (plus yours truly). I hope there will be a significant presence from CSLI, since this seems right up your alley. -- Doug Hofstadter ========================================================= ARE COMPUTERS APPROACHING HUMAN-LEVEL CREATIVITY? ------------------------------------------------- A Series of Five Public Symposia Prompted by Some Striking Recent Developments in Artificial Intelligence Stanford University, Fall 1997 Organized and moderated by Douglas Hofstadter Sponsored by the Center for Computer-Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH) with support from the Office of the Associate Dean for Humanities Each symposium will bring together world experts in a particular field in which human creativity shines; all will deliver short talks expressing their view about the degree to which computers have become genuinely creative in that field, after which there will be a panel discussion with audience participation. The organizer will moderate the panels, as well as participating as a panelist himself. Symposium II: Language and Literature Saturday, October 18, Law School, Room 290, 10AM-3PM (coffee at 9:30) * Gilles Fauconnier, Cognitive Science, UC San Diego Author of "Mental Spaces" and other books on language's cognitive underpinnings * Ashwin Ram, Computer Science, Georgia Tech Developer of science-fiction-reading program ISAAC; author on case-based reasoning * Mark Turner, English, University of Maryland Author of "The Literary Mind" and other books on the mutual relevance of literature and cognitive science

cognitive course

by CZACHESZ, Gyongyi

Hereby Department of General Psychology announces that Prof. Stevan HARNAD (Professor of Psychology and Director of Cognitive Sciences Centre at University of Southampton) will be our guest between 17th and 27th October and is going to give a brief couse on FOUNDATIONS OF COGNITION: A SOCIOBIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE We, like other species, evolved. And we can think -- in fact, we evolved the ability to think. We also evolved the ability to feel. Why we are afraid of the dark, of snakes, of strangers, of heights; why we feel like eating when our blood sugar goes down, why we overeat, why most of us prefer sex with the opposite sex rather than our own, why we are jealous, why we favour our kin -- all of this can be explained as an evolutionary legacy. What scope does this leave for thinking and freedom of will? These and other questions will be discussed in this seminar on what can and cannot be explained sociobiologically. A good starting paper is: http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/primer.htm Note: this is a seminar, not a lecture course. We will discuss readings form these books (Other readings: http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/readlist.htm): Books: Barkow, J., Cosmides, L. and Tooby, J. (1992) The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary psychology and the generation of culture. NY: Oxford University Press. Baker, Robin (1996) Sperm wars : infidelity, sexual conflict and other bedroom battles London : Fourth Estate, 1996. Dennett, Daniel C. (1995) Darwin's dangerous idea : evolution and the meanings of life. London ; New York : Allen Lane Pinker, S. (1994) The language instinct. NY: Morrow. Exact dates and times (each lecture will take place in H-1064, Budapest, Izabella str. 46.): 20th October (Monday), 12.00, room #209 21st October (Tuesday), 10.00, room #316 22nd October (Wednesday), 10.00, room #316 27th October (Monday), 12.00, room #209 By fulfilling the requirements the course gives a credit in the cognitive psychology programme of the Department of General Psychology (code number: PS-KK13.01). Professor Harnad will be staying at the guest suite in Izabella street, day time phone: 342-3130. His local host is Csaba Pleh, same number, e-mail: pleh(a)izabell.elte.hu, home number: (23) 453-933. ************************************************* Professor Harnad is going to give a public lecture on 22nd October (Wednesday) 17.00 in Institute for Advanced Study, Collegium Budapest (H-1014, Budapest, Szentharomsag str. 2.) The topic is: CATEGORISATION, COMMUNICATION AND COGNITION: ON THE ADVANTAGES OF SYMBOLIC THEFT OVER SENSORIMOTOR TOIL To categorise is to respond differentially to certain kinds of input. This is a very general cognitive capacity, covering everything from Pavlovian and instrumental responding to the chess master pondering how to respond to a chess move and the physicist inferring the existence of quarks. Once a categoriser has a repertoire of categories grounded through trial and error sensorimotor interaction ("honest toil"), higher-order categories can be formed in two ways: through further sensorimotor interaction, as with the ground-level categories, or through symbolic interaction with other categorisers, based on combining and recombining the names of lower-order categories into propositions describing new higher-order categories ("theft"). I will present some behavioural and computational data comparing these two strategies. Some related papers that can be found at my Web site: http://cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/genpub.html Harnad, S.
