Hi all,
The purpose of this email is to announce to the members of this list
the AGI-09 conference (the Second Conference on Artificial General Intelligence),
which will be in March 2009 in Washington DC
www.agi-09.org
Registration is open and we're accepting papers until November 12
www.agi-09.org/call.php
I realize the notice is short, and apologize for that! The first call for papers
was sent out months ago, but it recently occurred to me that I forgot to
distribute it on this mailing list, which might have some interested
individuals on it.
We've got an excellent programme lined up, including a much-anticipated
keynote speech by Jurgen Schmidhuber, along with sessions chaired by a host
of outstanding researchers including
- Evaluation of AGI Systems
chaired by John Laird, University of Michigan
- Logic Based AI
chaired by Selmer Bringsjord, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
- Automated Program Learning
chaired by Moshe Looks, Google Research
- AI in Virtual Worlds and Games
chaired by Sibley Verbeck, Electric Sheep Company
- AGI and Neuroscience
chaired by Randal Koene, Boston University
- Artificial Brains
chaired by Hugo de Garis, Xiamen University
- The Future of AGI
chaired by Josh Hall
- AGI and Serious Games
chaired by David Gobel
There will also be a series of pre-conference tutorials taught by leaders
in the field:
- OpenCyc Commonsense AI Tutorial
led by Stephen Reed, former Cyc researcher & leader of Texai project
- Modeling the Mind Using Logic
led by Selmer Bringsjord, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
- Automated Program Learning for AGI
led by Moshe Looks, Google Research
- The OpenCog Framework for Integrative AGI
led by Ben Goertzel, Novamente LLC
- SOAR Cognitive Architecture Tutorial
led by John Laird, University of Michigan
- A Reinforcement Learning Perspective on AGI
led by Itamar Elhanany, University of Tennessee
We expect AGI-09 to be even better than AGI-08, and hope to see you there.
Registration will be capped at 150, so non-paper-submitting attendees are
encouraged to register soon.
See you in Washington!
Yours,
Ben Goertzel (AGI-09 Conference Chair)
