Final call: NCPW14 Call for Papers - 14th Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop

Wed May 7 09:20:38 UTC 2014

Dear colleague,

The NCPW14 workshop has a developmental theme and usually has a strong 
showing of language development modelers, hence I am sending the call to 
this list as well:

We cordially invite you to participate in the 14th Neural Computation and 
Psychology Workshop (NCPW14) to be held at Lancaster University, UK, from 
August 21-23, 2014:

http://www.psych.lancs.ac.uk/ncpw14

This well-established and lively workshop aims at bringing together 
researchers from different disciplines such as artificial intelligence, 
cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, philosophy and 
psychology to discuss their work on models of cognitive processes.

Often this workshop has had a theme, and this time it is ‘Development 
across the lifespan’, but also submissions that do not fall under this 
theme are welcome.
Papers must be about emergent models - frequently, but not necessarily - of 
the connectionist/neural network kind, applied to cognition.

The NCPW workshops have always been characterized by their limited size, 
high quality papers, the absence of parallel talk sessions, and a schedule 
that is explicitly designed to encourage interaction among the researchers 
present in an informal setting. NCPW14 is no exception.

The scientific program will consist of keynote lectures, oral sessions and 
poster sessions.

Furthermore, this workshop will feature a unique set of invited speakers:

James McClelland, Stanford University.
Bob McMurray, University of Iowa.
Michael Thomas, Birkbeck College, London.

Abstract submission

Please submit one-page abstracts (pdf) by email to ncpw14conf at gmail.com, 
stating whether you want to present as a talk, poster, or talk/poster.

Rumelhart Memorial Travel Awards

The Rumelhart Memorial Travel awards, generously funded by Professor Jay 
McClelland, will provide funding to support travel costs for students/post 
docs presenting at the conference. Awards of US$250 are available to 
students or post docs from Western European countries, and US$750 for 
students or post docs from elsewhere. Decisions will be based on the 
quality of the submission.

Eligibility criteria:

The first author of the submission is a PhD student or Post-doctoral fellow 
who will attend the meeting and will present the submission if chosen to 
receive a travel award.

Location

Lancaster is situated in the north west of England, approximately one hour 
from Manchester and Liverpool airports. Lancaster is surrounded by 
spectacular scenery, hiking and climbing country. The Yorkshire Dales 
national park is 10 miles away. The Lake District national park is 20 miles 
away, http://www.nationalparks.gov.uk. The stagecoach 555 bus 
(http://www.stagecoachbus.com) takes you directly from Lancaster through 
the heart of the Lakes. The Trough of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural 
Beauty is 2 miles away.

Important dates to remember
