Computational Creativity (or CC) is a discipline with its roots in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, Design, Psychology and Philosophy that explores the potential for computers to be autonomous creators in their own right. ICCC is an annual conference that welcomes papers on different aspects of CC, on systems that exhibit varying degrees of creative autonomy, on frameworks that offer greater clarity or computational felicity for thinking about machine (and human) creativity, on methodologies for building or evaluating CC systems, on approaches to teaching CC in schools and universities or to promoting societal uptake of CC as a field and as a technology, and so on.


*** Themes and Topics ***
Original research contributions are solicited in all areas related to Computational Creativity research and practice, including, but not limited to:

– Applications that address creativity in specific domains such as music, language, narrative, poetry, games, visual arts, graphic design, product design, architecture, entertainment, education, mathematical invention, scientific discovery, and programming.
– Applications and frameworks that allow for co-creativity between humans and machines, in which the machine is more than a mere tool and takes on significant creative responsibility for itself.
– Metrics, frameworks, formalisms and methodologies for the evaluation of creativity in computational systems, and for the evaluation of how systems are perceived in society.
– Syntheses of AI/CC treatments of very different genres or domains of creativity (e.g. art and science, humour and mathematics, language and image, etc.)
– Computational paradigms for understanding creativity, including heuristic search, analogical and meta-level reasoning, and representation.
– Resource development and data gathering/knowledge curation for creative systems, especially resources and data collections that are scalable, extensible and freely available as open-source materials.
– Ethical considerations in the design, deployment or testing of CC systems, as well as studies that explore the societal impact of CC systems.
– Cognitive and psychological computational models of creativity, and their relation with existing cognitive architectures and psychological accounts
– Innovation, improvisation, virtuosity and related pursuits investigating the production of novel experiences and artefacts within a CC context.
– Computational accounts of factors that enhance creativity, including emotion, surprise(unexpectedness), reflection, conflict, diversity, motivation, knowledge, intuition, reward structures.
– Computational models of social aspects of creativity, including the relationship between individual and social creativity, diffusion of ideas, collaboration and creativity, formation of creative teams, and creativity in social settings.
– Perspectives on computational creativity which draw from philosophical and/or sociological studies in a context of creative intelligent systems.
– Computational creativity in the cloud, including how web services can be used to foster unexpected creative behaviour in computational systems.
– Big data approaches to computational creativity.
– Debate papers that raise new issues or reopen seemingly settled ones. Provocations that question the foundations of the discipline or throw new light on old work are also welcome.

Papers on computational paradigms of all kinds – from symbolic to statistical to deep learning models, as well as hybrid approaches – are welcome, provided they address pertinent aspects of CC as sketched above.

OVERVIEW

Adaptive and learning agents, particularly those interacting with each other in a multi-agent setting, are becoming increasingly prominent as the size and complexity of real-world systems grows. How to adaptively control, coordinate and optimize such systems is an emerging multi-disciplinary research area at the intersection of Computer Science, Control Theory, Economics, and Biology. The ALA workshop will focus on agents and multi-agent systems which employ learning or adaptation.

The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness of and interest in adaptive agent research, encourage collaboration and give a representative overview of current research in the area of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems. It aims at bringing together not only scientists from different areas of computer science but also from different fields studying similar concepts (e.g., game theory, bio-inspired control, mechanism design).

This workshop will focus on all aspects of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems with a particular emphasis on how to modify established learning techniques and/or create new learning paradigms to address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   * Novel combinations of reinforcement and supervised learning approaches
   * Integrated learning approaches that work with other agent reasoning modules like negotiation, trust models, coordination, etc.
   * Supervised multi-agent learning
   * Reinforcement learning (single and multi-agent)
   * Novel deep learning approaches for adaptive single and multi-agent systems
   * Multi-objective optimisation in single- and multi-agent systems
   * Planning (single and multi-agent)
   * Reasoning (single and multi-agent)
   * Distributed learning
   * Adaptation and learning in dynamic environments
   * Evolution of agents in complex environments
   * Co-evolution of agents in a multi-agent setting
   * Cooperative exploration and learning to cooperate and collaborate
   * Learning trust and reputation
   * Communication restrictions and their impact on multi-agent coordination
   * Design of reward structure and fitness measures for coordination
   * Scaling learning techniques to large systems of learning and adaptive agents
   * Emergent behavior in adaptive multi-agent systems
   * Game theoretical analysis of adaptive multi-agent systems
   * Neuro-control in multi-agent systems
   * Bio-inspired multi-agent systems
   * Adaptive and learning agents for multi-objective decision making
   * Applications of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems to real world complex systems

[rede.APPIA] Fwd: 1st International Workshop on New Foundations for Human-Centered AI



Begin forwarded message:

Subject: 1st International Workshop on New Foundations for Human-Centered AI
Date: 9 February 2020 at 02:16:43 WET

1st International Workshop on New Foundations for Human-Centered AI

 

                    * Second Call for Papers *

 

SYNOPSIS

——–

 

In June 2018, the European Commission has appointed a “AI High Level

Expert Group” (AI-HLEG) to support the implementation of the European

Strategy on Artificial Intelligence.  One of the first results of the

AI-HLEG has been to deliver ethics guidelines on Artificial Intelligence

(https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/ai-alliance-consultation/guidelines).

These guidelines put forward a human-centered approach to AI, and list

seven key requirements that human-centered, trustworthy AI systems

should meet, summarized by the following headers:

 

1. Human agency and oversight

2. Technical robustness and safety

3. Privacy and data governance

4. Transparency

5. Diversity, non-discrimination and fairness

6. Societal and environmental wellbeing

7. Accountability

 

Many of today’s most popular AI methods, however, fail to meet these

guidelines: making them compliant is a scientific endeavor that is as

crucial as it is challenging and stimulating.  Systems based on deep

learning are a case in point: while these systems often provide

impressive results, their ability to _explain_ these results to the user

is very limited, challenging requirements 4 and 7; in most cases we lack

ways to formally _verify_ their correctness and assess their boundary

conditions, challenging requirement 2; and we don’t yet have methods to

allow humans to _collaboratively_ influence or question their decisions,

challenging requirement 1.  Similar criticalities are present in many

other popular AI methods.

 

This full day workshop will collectively address the fundamental

questions of what are the scientific and technological gaps that we have

to fill in order to make AI systems _human-centered_ in terms of the

above guidelines.

 

PAPER SUBMISSION

—————-

 

Contributions are seeked on new foundations for building Human-Centered

AI systems, able to comply with AI-HLEG recommendations.  Contributions

may present mature results, but position papers and reports of relevant

ongoing work may also be acceptable.  More specific topics include, but

are not limited to:

 

– Explainable AI

– Verifiable AI

– Technical robustness and safety of AI systems

– Collaboration between humans and AI systems

– Integrating model-based and data-driven AI

– Integrating symbolic- and sub-symbolic AI

– Mixed initiative AI-Human systems

– Proactive AI systems in human environments

– Understanding and naturally interacting with humans

– Understanding and interaction in complex social settings

– Reflexivity and expectation managament

– Integrating Learning, Reasoning and Acting in AI systems

 

Papers should be formatted according to the ECAI2020 formatting style,

available at the ECAI2020 website (ecai2020.eu), and should not exceed

six pages.  Submissions are not anonymous.

 

Submit your paper by February 25 via Easychair here:

Introduction

————————————————————————————————

In a nearby future the world population will rise significantly, reaching 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. The population increase together with current and new environmental requirements, demand new agriculture production methods. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) play a crucial role in current and future production technologies. The global aim of this thematic track is to bring together researchers, companies, developers and users of both AI and IoT (AI&IoT) fields applied to solve smart agriculture farming and production problems.

 

Application domains for AI&IoT are wide-ranging, from smart buildings through health monitoring and wearable devices to agro-forestry predictive systems. The spectrum of IoT-specific devices, solutions and scientific approaches include: data acquisition by sensors and mobile devices; RF technologies used in data transmission and data collection in sensor networks; Verification and optimization techniques to help sensor networks to be maintained and operated; Big data and AI approaches provide predictive analytics and high-level correlations of data, all towards better decision support systems. This track covers the spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications and solutions.
