Meeting Description:

Big data, machine learning, AI algorithms are intensely disputed and acclaimed
nowadays. Currently we are assisting to growing investments in computational
models simulating neurocognitive functions (e.g. the Human Brain Project) and
this trend will probably be enhanced in the near future (Communication
Artificial Intelligence for Europe, 25 April 2018) especially in the fields of
Machine Learning and Robotics.

What is the role of Cognitive Science in this debate?

The AISC Conference 2018 will focus on this topic, (re)discussing the new idea
of AI (as compared to the one historically proposed by McCarthy, Minsky,
Brooks, Lenat, Rumelhart and McClelland among others) bringing into discussion
ideas from Neurocognition, Epistemology and formal Linguistics among other
relevant Cognitive Science sub-fields.

Invited Speakers:

Call for Papers:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aisc20180

Papers:

Paper presentations will be 30 minutes long including discussion. Abstracts
may be written in English or Italian, and they should not exceed 500 words
including references. 
The Conference Committee reserves the right to offer poster presentations
instead of full paper presentations for some of the abstracts, in light of the
reviews’ results.

We are planning to publish a selection of the papers accepted and presented in
an edited volume or in a special issue of a journal.

Symposia:

Symposium proposals should be submitted via EasyChair and should be no longer
than 1500 words (including references). Every proposal should include: title,
names, affiliations and contact details of the organizers and speakers, and a
short explanation of the symposium aim.
