Workshop Announcement – Call for Participation
Mathematical Models of Cognitive Behaviour
Avon Gorge Hotel, Bristol
November 9th, 2007 (9am – 5pm)
https://patterns.enm.bris.ac.uk/cognitive-systems-workshop
Workshop of the Pascal Network of Excellence and the euCognition Network
Probabilistic approaches to Artificial Intelligence have become
mainstream in the past decade. Statistical methods are routinely used
in machine learning, machine translation, machine vision, speech
recognition. We are interested in applying this methodology to the
more general problem of modeling cognitive systems.
The theoretical focus of this workshop is to model cognitive abilities
as forms of probabilistic inference. In particular we want to focus on
statistical and reactive models of behaviour, in various systems.
The idea is to present recent models of natural cognitive systems
together with recent advances in modeling of artificial cognitive
systems, and discuss of relations.
Learning, decision making, perception, and goal-seeking are
significant aspects of cognitive behavior that will be covered.
