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
