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

该项目支持将于 2016 年 6 月在西北大学举行的第四届认知系统年会的博士生研讨会。认知系统是一个涵盖认知计算研究各个方面的国际跨学科会议系列。 它的特点是关注高层认知和决策、依赖丰富的结构化表征、系统级视角以及对人类思维洞察的结合。此次博士生研讨会的目的是鼓励、扩大和引导年轻研究人员参与认知计算领域的研究。认知计算最近取得了重大成功，以IBM的Watson、微软的Cortana、Google的Now、苹果的Siri等知名系统为代表。认知系统进展会议促进了本着人工智能原始精神进行的研究，旨在设计和实施计算机程序，展示人类智能中常见的广度、通用性和灵活性。我们期望第四届认知系统年会能够显着增进我们对认知计算的理解，并为认知计算新理论、技术和工具的发展增添动力。会议和研讨会将通过促进高级和初级研究人员之间的互动并促进新的合作来帮助开发人力研究资本。博士生研讨会将增加年轻研究生研究人员在这些领域的曝光度和知名度，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.
