IJCAI-09 Workshop
Grand Challenges for Reasoning from Experiences
www.comp.rgu.ac.uk/docs/ijcai09/gcworkshop/
Reasoning from Experiences is a powerful concept that is utilized within
a range of AI technologies and across a variety of application domains
such as case-based reasoning, cognitive architectures, transfer learning
and recommender systems. The primary goal of this workshop is to provide
a forum for cross-fertilization of ideas developed independently within
different research communities in the context of reasoning from
experiences, for identifying critical issues and directions for
research, and for building bridges among these various research communities.
Reasoning from experiences is a topic of interest to researchers
studying the following AI and related topic areas (among others):
Technologies
· Learning: bayesian/statistical learning; instance-based
learning; reinforcement learning; statistical relational learning;
transductive inference; transfer learning.
· Knowledge: case-based problem solving and interpretation;
cognitive architectures; prototype-based classification; ontologies,
languages, and reasoning; reasoning with data provenance.
· Reasoning: computational analogy; episodic reasoning; fuzzy
logic; memory-based reasoning; meta-cognitive reasoning; model-based
reasoning.
Applications
· Interaction: adaptive hypermedia; user modelling.
· Autonomy: ambient intelligence; autonomic computing; computer
games; robotics.
· Society: experiences mining from text, multimedia, interaction;
opinion mining in social networks; recommender systems.
· Text: information extraction; natural language (e.g. generation,
word pronunciation); text reuse.
· Knowledge: biomedical systems; information logistics;
intelligent tutoring systems; plan replay; retrieval and reuse.
Call for Papers/Participation
The Workshop Committee invites papers (up to 6 pages) that identify
"grand challenge" issues for reasoning from experiences, their
motivating tasks, and research plans for addressing this challenge.
*Other participants* are encouraged to submit a short paper (up to 4
pages) presenting a research statement or perspective on topics relevant
to the workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the working
notes of the workshop.
Long papers will have oral presentation during the workshop but may be
accepted for presentation as a Challenge or for standard workshop
presentation. Challenge presentations will have an accompanying
presentation where a nominated respondent will present a response to the
challenge.
Short papers will be used to prioritise participation if necessary and
to guide the selection of respondents and panel members for workshop
discussions.
Authors are requested to prepare their papers according to AAAI
guidelines. For more information and style files, please see
www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php.
Submitted papers must be no longer than SIX pages, (FOUR pages for short
papers) including all figures and references. All submissions should
include the author's name(s), affiliation, complete mailing address,
phone number and email address. The submissions should be emailed in PDF
format to [log in to unmask]
