Music and the Origins of Language | International Summer School on Agent-based Computational Models of Creativity

The school is intended for postdocs, lecturers and predocs with a background in computer science (artificial intelligence) or computational linguistics (corpus linguistics or natural language processing) and a strong interest in music and the origins of language. There will be background lectures that introduce concepts from biology, anthropology, psychology, music theory and linguistics that are helpful to understand the nature of creativity, the role and intimate relations between language and music, and the mechanisms underlying cultural evolution. It contains technical lectures on the fundamental computational components required for language processing and technical ateliers to learn how to set up evolutionary linguistics experiments. Participants have the opportunity to present their latest research in a poster session. The school also features artistic ateliers in which participants create new creative works and engage in performance.

Presentation

Presentation | Complex Insight  - Understanding our world | Scoop.it
Event date:
2012-08-27 The 20th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence will take place on 27 to 31 August 2012 in Montpellier, France.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviours that humans consider ‘intelligent’. It also studies systems that perceive their environments and formulate actions based on observations. AI research is highly technical and specialised, resulting in subfields that sometimes work in isolation from one another.
The event is intended to bring together researchers to discuss and identify important new trends and challenges in all subfields of artificial intelligence, and provide a forum for potential users of innovative techniques.

Workshop on Information Processing in Cognition (IPCog-2013) -

Complex systems approaches to computational neuroscience and artificial neural systems

 

27-28 February, 2013

Sydney, Australia

 

This workshop seeks to examine the intersection of the studies of computation in biological cognition, and the design of artificial cognitive systems, from the perspective of information processing in complex systems.

Computational neuroscience has produced statistically robust tools to analyse brain imaging data, revealing much about how different brain regions interact to create outcomes. A topical area is investigating mechanisms that give rise to complex information processing, in terms of how information is stored and transferred across brain networks. Certainly it is well understood that biological cognition is vastly different from the Von Neumann computing paradigm, involving an enormous number of distributed, simple units. From this perspective, there is much scope for complex systems science to provide insights here, including areas such as: measures of information dynamics, network structure and inference, and synchronization.

From another perspective, traditional computation faces the challenge of matching the performance of biological computation. The challenge must be met in order to deliver next-generation leaps in performance, and to be able to handle future problems. There are several approaches towards these challenges, with much hype around "Big Data", and the large-scale Blue Brain project. Again however, there is certainly much scope for complex systems science to provide insights to further the field, e.g., regarding biologically inspired hardware and software, combinations of distributed computing and data-processing together, and principled approaches to guiding the emergence of intelligence.

This workshop seeks to bring together active researchers from these communities to consider these issues, discuss current research in the area and future directions and challenges.
