Dear All,
Both seminars next week will be held, as per usual, in *room 101 *(not 10,
as incorrectly stated in my previous emails). Apologies for the mistake.

Dear All,
Exceptionally next week we will have an *additional seminar* instead of
the research club.

Title: *Communication, Coordination, and Computation in Human Interaction*
Date: *Thursday, 19 September *
Time: *13:00 - 14:00 *
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 10
Abstract:
Human sociality is distinctive in kind and degree: We teach, learn,
communicate, and coordinate in ways and at a scale that is rarely observed
in other species. How does this work? What cognitive capacities enable us
to flexibly coordinate our thoughts and behaviors in everyday interactions
and even over generations? Much work in psychology and cognitive science
addresses this question theoretically and empirically. Meanwhile, recent
advances in artificial intelligence challenge us to articulate how one
would program such capacities into a machine. In this talk, I will discuss
several projects that apply computational principles to understanding the
mechanisms of human communication and coordination. For example, by
formulating and testing the computations underlying communicative
intentions and recursive social reasoning, we can gain greater empirical
insight into what makes human communication successful, what makes it
computationally challenging, and even what causes it to sometimes fail.
We are looking forward to see you.
