RI: Doctoral Student Workshop at the Fourth Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems

本项目支持将于2016年6月在西北大学举行的第四届认知系统年会上的博士生研讨会。认知系统是一个国际和跨学科的会议系列，涵盖了认知计算研究的所有方面。它的特点是专注于高层次的认知和决策，依赖于丰富的，结构化的表示，系统级的视角，并结合对人类思维的见解。博士生研讨会的目标是鼓励、扩展和引导年轻研究人员参与认知计算的研究。认知计算最近取得了重大成功，以IBM的沃森、微软的小娜、b谷歌的Now和苹果的Siri等知名系统为代表。认知系统的进步会议促进了以人工智能的原始精神进行的研究，其目的是设计和实施计算机程序，这些程序展示了人类智能中经常观察到的广度、通用性和灵活性。我们期待第四届认知系统年会能够显著提高我们对认知计算的理解，并为认知计算的新理论、新技术和新工具的发展增添动力。会议和讲习班将通过促进高级和初级研究人员之间的互动和促进新的合作，帮助开发人力研究资本。博士生讲习班将增加年轻研究生研究人员在这些领域的曝光率和知名度，并通过在互动和建设性的环境中提供该领域的早期投入和反馈来培训他们。

This project supports the Doctoral Student Workshop at the Fourth Annual Conference in Cognitive Systems to be held at Northwestern University in June 2016. Cognitive Systems is an international and interdisciplinary conference series covering all aspects of research on cognitive computing. It is distinguished by a focus on high-level cognition and decision-making, reliance on rich, structured representations, a systems-level perspective, and the incorporation of insights about human thinking. The goal of the doctoral student symposium is to encourage, expand, and guide the participation of young researchers starting research in cognitive computingCognitive computing has recently had major successes, represented by well- known systems like IBM's Watson, Microsoft's Cortana, Google's Now, and Apple's Siri, among many others. The Advances in Cognitive Systems conference fosters research carried out in the original spirit of AI, which aimed to design and implement computer programs that exhibited the breadth, generality, and flexibility often observed in human intelligence. We expect the Fourth Annual Conference on Cognitive Systems to significantly increase our understanding of cognitive computing, and add momentum to the development of new theories, techniques and tools for cognitive computing. The conference sessions and workshops will help develop human research capital by enabling interactions between senior and junior researchers and catalyzing new collaborations. The doctoral student workshop will increase the exposure and visibility of young graduate student researchers in these areas, and train them by providing early input and feedback in the field in an interactive and constructive environment.
