Meeting Description:

"Concepts in Action: Representation, Learning, and Applications"
(CARLA) is an international workshop that fosters interdisciplinary
exchanges about research on concepts. We invite contributions from all
fields within cognitive science, including linguistics, psychology,
philosophy, neuroscience, and computer science.

Call for Papers:

CARLA is moving to Montreal!

After previous iterations of the workshop in Osnabrück, Bolzano, and
Berlin, the fifth CARLA — Concepts in Action: Representation,
Learning, and Applications — will be hosted by the Psycholinguistics
and Cognition Lab at Concordia University, in Montreal, August 23-25,
2023.

CARLA is an international workshop that fosters interdisciplinary
exchanges about research on concepts. We invite contributions from all
fields within cognitive science, including linguistics, psychology,
philosophy, neuroscience, and computer science.

The workshop is open for research on any aspect of concepts and
semantics, with three overarching topics, addressing the following
(non-exhaustive) list of questions:

- Representation: What is the nature of semantic/conceptual
representation? How are concepts processed in the brain? How do
concepts compose to form complex thoughts? How can we formally
describe and model concepts?

- Learning: What is the ontology of concepts and how do they develop?
How do we learn to categorize objects and events? What kind of
cognitive architecture supports concept acquisition and development?

- Applications: How are concepts used in cognitive tasks and in
applied cognitive systems — such as applied machine learning in
computer vision, decision making, category learning, etc.?

Keynote speakers:

- Alex Clake (Psychology, University of Cambridge)
- John Perry (Philosophy, Stanford University)
- Aishwarya Agrawal (Computer Science, Université de Montréal)
- Brendan Gillon (Linguistics, McGill University)
- Stevan Harnad (Psychology, Université du Québec à Montréal)
- Brendan Johns (Psychology, McGill University)
- Alan Bale (Linguistics, Concordia University)

In addition to the main session, CARLA 2023 will feature a special
session, "Context: Linguistic Structure, Knowledge, and Beliefs” on
the mapping between linguistic representations and propositions. This
special session will be linked to a special issue of a journal (to be
announced in the near future). The submission procedure for this
session is the same as for the main conference (via EasyChair), but
potential participants should select “special session”.

Deadline: July 1, 2023 (at 11:59pm, any time zone)

Submission via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/cfp/carla2023

Further details on the workshop and abstract submission are available
in the CARLA website:
