1) MathPsych/ICCM 2018, early registration due 9 Jun, today
U of Wisconsin, Madison 21-24 Jul 18
http://mathpsych.org/conferences/2018/
Early Bird Registration Ends Jun 9
Registration link: https://www.conftool.com/mathpsych-iccm2018/
(Jul 21st is for Workshops, Tutorials & Opening reception)
[The box lunches seem unnecessary, there is close
by food I'm told. The banquet might be
overpriced, but it is always a good place to meet
people. I'm going. You can see my new beard if I
still have it. ]
Attendees, please fill out the preference survey by Jun 9
Talk preference survey:
https://wright.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_554eIbYTBm5HePr
We invite you to MathPsych/ICCM 2018, the joint gathering of the
51st Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology and
the 16th International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM): the
premier conference for research on computational models and
computation-based theories of human cognition. Following our
success in 2017, ICCM has again joined forces with the Society for
Mathematical Psychology to create a conference in which all sessions
are open to all attendees, and cross-talk is highly encouraged.
Early bird registration fees, by Jun 9, are $200
(faculty/professionals) and $80 (students) and the banquet cost is
$80 (faculty/professionals) and $40 (students). After Jun 9, fees
increase to $250 and $100 respectively. Catered lunch is available
for $18 each day or there are many options available nearby.
As in previous years, the talk preference survey will be used to
minimize conflicts across sessions. You will be asked to indicate
your degree of interest in attending 10 randomly selected talks
based on their abstracts. Feel free to run through the survey as
many times as you like.
We hope to see you in Madison!
Ion Juvina, Joseph Houpt, and Christopher Myers (ICCM co-chairs)
Joseph Austerweil and Joseph Houpt (MathPsych co-chairs)

2) ACT-R workshop, 21 Jul 18
held during ICCM workshop day
The ACT-R Workshop will be held this summer at
the ICCM conference. You attend, I believe, by
attending ICCM and choosing the workshop for your
workshop choice.

3) Sixth Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems
Stanford U Aug 18-20, 2018
http://www.cogsys.org/conference/2018/
The Sixth Annual Conference on Advances in
Cognitive Systems (details at
http://www.cogsys.org/conference/2018) will take
place at Stanford 18-20 Aug 2018, with
submissions due 25 May 2018. The meeting
welcomes many types of research, including
demonstrations of new capabilities, empirical
studies of implemented systems, models of complex
human behavior, and formal analyses of
challenging tasks.
The conference shares with early research in AI and cognitive science
an emphasis on high-level cognition, structured representations, and
integrated systems. Thus, submissions on multi-step reasoning, problem
solving, or the acquisition of complex structures are more relevant
than ones about categorization, reactive control, or low-level learning.
Progress reports on cognitive architectures are especially appropriate.
Submissions may be 16 pages in the single-column format described at
http://cogsys.org/instructions/ , while accepted papers will be expanded
to 20 pages and appear as articles in the electronic journal Advances
in Cognitive Systems. I encourage authors to examine the review form
at http://www.cogsys.org/review-form-2018/ before submitting a paper,
as referees will expect authors to address each of its questions.
I believe that Advances in Cognitive Systems has greater intellectual
diversity than AAAI, CogSci, or other mainstream conferences, with
papers covering many different approaches to intelligent behavior.
We are especially interested in attracting graduate students, so I
hope you will share this message with junior collaborators. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Pat Langley, Program Chair
Sixth Annual Conference on
Advances in Cognitive Systems

6) FDUCS: What system designers need to know about people, in Chinese
http://cmpbook.com/stackroom.php?id=43712
The Foundations for Designing User-centered
Systems has been translated into Chinese by
researchers as the Chinese Academy of Science
(2017), led by Prof. Xiaolong Zhang. It is
published by China Machine Press. It is unusual
to understand a book but not be able to read it.

The memoir of one of the legendary brain theoreticians, Michael Arbib:
From cybernetics to brain theory, and more: A memoir
is published in Cognitive Systems Research. It is now
freely available from the Aug 18 issue through (link above).

8) Common Model of Cognition mailing list
https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/common-model
The Common Model of Cognition mailing list is a
forum for the discussion, refinement and
formalization of an emerging consensus about the
nature (structure, mechanisms and
representations) of human-like minds. The effort,
initially called the Standard Model of the Mind
but since renamed the Common Model of Cognition
following community input, was formulated by
Laird, Lebiere & Rosenbloom (2017) and was the
topic of a 2017 AAAI Fall Symposium. Additional
details, including a copy of the paper and
symposium schedule with presentations, are
available on the symposium web site
(http://sm.ict.usc.edu/).
Instructions on how to subscribe to the mailing list can be found at:

9) Information Theory: A Tutorial Introduction
https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.05968
For those interested in a gentle introduction to
information theory, please see:
Information Theory: A Tutorial Introduction
by James V Stone
Abstract
Shannon's mathematical theory of communication
defines fundamental limits on how much
information can be transmitted between the
different components of any man-made or
biological system. This paper is an informal but
rigorous introduction to the main ideas implicit
in Shannon's theory. An annotated reading list is
provided for further reading.
A pdf file of the article can be downloaded from
the Cornell U Library archive:

Comments and corrections welcome.

10) Soar-group list has moved to a new provider
[log in to unmask]" target="_blank">http://localhost:[log in to unmask]
[log in to unmask]
Hello Soar Community,
Due to new restrictions that Sourceforge has
placed on their mailing lists, we have decided to
move the soar-group list to a new provider
(mailchimp). Unfortunately, Sourceforge no longer
provides access to a mailing list's membership
roster, so we need people to give us an e-mail
address to transfer to the new mailing list.
(People can continue to use the current mailing
lists until the transition is complete.)
So, please simply reply to this message so that
we can move you over. A blank response is fine.
You can include a specific address if you don't
want us to use your reply-to address.
Note that soar-group will continue to be a low
volume list used mostly for announcements. All
new user and help-related traffic will continue
to be handled on soar-help.
Regards,
Mazin

11) "Minding the Brain", A free audio podcast
https://mindingthebrainpodcast.com/
My neuroscientist friend Kim Hellemans and I
created a audio podcast called "Minding the
Brain." It is free on the web, and can be
subscribed to on iTunes. This monthly podcast
features us discussing various issues about
cognitive and brain sciences, such as stress,
imagination, emotion, and addiction. Hope you
like it! :)

12) Bonus: Psychological Science in the Public Interest
https://www.psychologicalscience.org/publications/pspi
this was not sent to me, i just used it this
semester and like it, and thought the title and
contents are great stuff. `<
Published 3x / year by the Association for
Psychological Science, Psychological Science in
the Public Interest (PSPI) is a unique journal
featuring comprehensive and compelling reviews of
issues that are of direct relevance to the
general public. These reviews are written by
blue-ribbon teams of specialists representing a
range of viewpoints and are intended to assess
the current state-of-the-science with regard to
the topic. Among other things, PSPI reports have
challenged the validity of the Rorschach and
other projective tests, have explored how to keep
the aging brain sharp, and have documented
problems with the current state of clinical
psychology.
Good, high quality, easily available reviews on useful subjects.
