HLAI 2018

Call for Papers

The joint Human-Level AI 2018 multi-conference (22-25 August, Prague, Czech Republic)  is made up of three major conferences and academic events, all targeted towards the creation of human-level artificial intelligence. The inspirational list of event invited speakers can be found on the conference website: www.hlai-conf.org

AGI'18: Eleventh Annual Conference on Artificial General Intelligence When: August 22-24, 2018 

Event URL: http://agi-conference.org/2018... 

The Eleventh Annuall Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI−18) will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, on August 22-24, 2018. The AGI conference series is the premier international event aimed at advancing the state of knowledge regarding the original goal of the AI field — the creation of thinking machines with general intelligence at the human level and possibly beyond. Information on the previous AGI conferences may be found at http://agi-conf.org. 

As in prior AGI conferences, we welcome contributed papers on all aspects of AGI R&D, with the key proviso that each paper should somehow contribute specifically to the development of Artificial General Intelligence. Appropriate topics for contributed papers include, but are not restricted to: - Agent Architectures - Autonomy - Benchmarks and Evaluation - Cognitive Modeling - Collaborative Intelligence - Creativity - Distributed AI - Formal Models of General Intelligence - Implications of AGI for Society, Economy and Ecology - Integration of Different Capabilities - Knowledge Representation for General Intelligence - Languages, Specification Approaches and Toolkits - Learning, and Learning Theory - Motivation, Emotion and Affect - Multi-Agent Interaction - Natural Language Understanding - Neural-Symbolic Processing - Perception and Perceptual Modeling - Philosophy of AGI - Reasoning, Inference and Planning - Reinforcement Learning - Robotic and Virtual Embodiment - Simulation and Emergent Behavior - Solomonoff Induction.

NeSy'18: Thirteenth International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning 

When: August 23 & 24, 2018 Where: Prague, Czech Republic

Event URL: http://www.neural-symbolic.org... 

The International Workshop series on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (NeSy) will come to Prague in August 2018 as part of the Multi-conference on Human-level AI (HLAI 2018). 

Having started in Edinburgh at IJCAI 2005, NeSy is the premier event worldwide for the study and integration of neural computation and symbolic AI. Deep networks now offer the state-of-the-art for a large number of perceptual tasks such as image and speech recognition, and for complex games, having achieved impressive super-human levels of proficiency at the games of Go and Chess recently. 

We invite submissions of novel research and practice papers addressing any of the aspects of neurosymbolic integration: representation of symbolic knowledge by neural networks, structured learning and relational learning in neural networks, reasoning in neural networks, knowledge extraction and distilling, neural-symbolic cognitive models and agents, and applications of neurosymbolic systems in robotics, simulation, fraud prevention, planning, natural language processing, semantic web, software engineering, autonomous systems verification, multimodal and online learning, semi-supervised and reinforcement learning, fault-tolerant computing, data science and analytics, bioinformatics, visual intelligence, etc.

BICA'18: Ninth Annual International Conference on Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures

When: August 23 & 24, 2018 

Where: Prague, Czech Republic

Event URL: http://bica2018.bicasociety.or... 

Since 2010, the annual BICA conference attracts researchers from the edge of scientific frontiers, showing steady growth success over eight years. In contrast with major conferences in AI and cognitive science, we offer informal brainstorming atmosphere together with publication venues to ambitious ideas, regardless of their immediate practical value or solid empirical justification. If you believe that you have a constructive contribution to the future human-like AI, then you should present your work at BICA 2018. BICAns understand "biological inspirations" broadly, borrowing them from cognitive psychology, educational, neurosciences, linguistics, ethics, narratology, studies of design and creativity, and more. The "filter" is the question of whether your contribution may help us make machines our friends or understand how the mind works. Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures (BICA) are computational frameworks for building intelligent agents that are inspired from biological intelligence. Biological intelligent systems, notably humans, have many qualities that are often lacking in artificially designed systems including robustness, flexibility and adaptability to environments. At a point in time where visibility into naturally intelligent systems is exploding, thanks to modern brain imaging and recording techniques allowing us to map brain structures and functions, our ability to learn lessons from nature and to build biologically. Further details will be announced on the event website.
