Doctoral Student Position in Adaptive Decision Making and Cognition The Modeling Adaptive Cognition Research Group at the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Lausanne seeks applicants for a doctoral student position, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The position (100%) is to begin February 1st, 2013, or on a later starting date to be mutually agreed upon. The position has a funding duration of 3 years. The work location is the University of Lausanne, Lausanne Dorigny, Switzerland. The gross salary ranges from about 56,400 to about 62,400 Swiss Francs per year. The doctoral student will be mentored by Professor Julian Marewski. Job Description We seek applicants to work on an interdisciplinary research program on modeling adaptive decision making processes and cognition in real-world domains. Current and past researchers working on this program have had backgrounds in psychology, cognitive science, economics, mathematics, biology, physics, and computer science to name but a few. We provide excellent resources, including a fully-equipped laboratory for conducting human subject experiments and computer simulations, an excellent international research network, and most importantly, the time to think. The position is heavily-research oriented, preparing for a career in academia. We expect Ph.D. candidates to publish in top-tier journals. We are an international research group. Our working language is English. Research on Adaptive Decision Making Processes and Cognition Research on adaptive decision making processes and cognition addresses a key question: How do humans make decisions under uncertainty, that is, when time and information are limited and the future is unknown? In experiments, computer simulations, and mathematical analyses, we study both (i) how people make such decisions, and (ii) how they ought to make these decisions in order to behave adaptively. In doing so, we build detailed computational models of how decision processes are adapted to the structure of the environment, as well as how the decision processes interplay with other cognitive processes, such as memory or time perception. Areas of research for the current position include modeling how people select from a repertoire of decision strategies, how people make inductive inferences, how memory is nestled into to the structure of the environment, how to predict memory retrieval using internet search engines such as Google. Requirements Applicants should be interested in modeling decision and/or other cognitive processes. A university degree in psychology, business, economics, mathematics, computer sciences, physics, biology, or in a related discipline as well as good English skills are required. Already existing modeling or programming skills (e.g., MATLAB, R, LISP, ACT-R) are helpful but not required. Application Materials and Deadline The application deadline is December 1st, 2012, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Application materials include a cover letter describing research interests, a curriculum vitae, university transcripts, an extract of prior scientific work (if available), and two letters of recommendation. Please submit your materials via email to julian.marewski at unil.ch. Working at the University of Lausanne The Modeling Adaptive Cognition Research Group is located at the Department of Organizational Behavior of the Faculty for Business and Economics at the University of Lausanne. The department provides a stimulating interdisciplinary research environment. We publish in top-tier journals in different disciplines, including Science, Psychological Review, and the American Economic Review. Located at Lake Geneva and surrounded by the Jura Mountains and the French Alps, Lausanne is a beautiful and cosmopolitan spot to live and work. The Lake Geneva region enjoys a Mediterranean microclimate. More information about the position can be inquired via email (julian.marewski at unil.ch ).

Those results and others (including a procedural parameter sweep using Halbruegge's DSF model) were published in the attached paper. It may not be precisely what you are looking for, but it's certainly similar in spirit. The broad point and position is that we learn more about our models, architectures, and systems by performing and reporting explorations of performance surfaces in the form of systematic sensitivity and necessity analyses than we do by limiting ourselves to gradient descent searches for optimal fits or maximum performance levels. So I'm glad to know you have some new research underway that also will involve sensitivity analyses. As you are no doubt aware, these can become computationally intensive. We used two DoD HPC centers for the 40 million runs reported in this paper, in order to get them done in two weeks, rather than the 10 years or so it would have taken with the machines we were running in our lab. Since then, Jack Harris and his MindModeling team have expanded their system so that it includes both volunteer resources and HPC clusters. Perhaps Jack will elaborate. I'll just say that it's even more flexible and powerful a capability than it used to be, and it is available to computational cognitive scientists who find their research programs restricted by inadequate access to computational resources. www.mindmodeling.org Cheers, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: act-r-users-bounces at act-r.psy.cmu.edu [mailto:act-r-users-bounces at act-r.psy.cmu.edu] On Behalf Of Cleotilde Gonzalez Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 3:50 PM To: act-r-users at act-r.psy.cmu.edu Cc: 'Jason Harman'; 'Noam Ben-Asher' Subject: [ACT-R-users] sensitivity analyses of ACT-R parameters Hello, I am working on a project involving sensitivity analyses of ACT-R parameters d and s.

The MindModeling project was born out of this initiative. MindModeling at Home is a research project that leverages the combined resources of local computing grids, shared DoD supercomputing clusters and the computing resources of thousands of volunteers from around the world for the advancement of cognitive science. The MindModeling at Home project was originally developed by scientists and engineers within the Air Force Research Laboratory (711 HPW/RHAC), but has since transitioned to be a catalyst for collaboration with academia and other partners interested in the advancement of computational cognitive science research. The MindModeling at Home system provides an infrastructure for easily submitting a cognitive model for evaluation performance across a range of contexts utilizing distributed computing practices. Recent advances in the infrastructure have enabled billions of simulations to be carried out across thousands of computers producing the equivalent of hundreds of years of computational work. These simulations have been conducted using a variety of formalisms including LISP-based models using the ACT-R cognitive architecture, Quantum Field Theory models authored in Matlab, and even virtual world learning agents development utilizing the Python language. Furthermore, to aid in the model evaluation process, the MindModeling project provides modelers integrated tools for interactively monitoring and visualizing the performance of models executing within the infrastructure. Future work is underway to integrate even more formalisms, tools and languages into the MindModeling system to further expand the system's cognitive research enabling capabilities. We are always looking for new collaborative opportunities with others in the cognitive modeling community. If you (or others) would be interested in gaining access to the computational infrastructure please feel free to contact me.

The MindModeling system is mostly composed of many 'consumer computers' with a few high-end computers and even a few super computers added in for good measure. So, the system is highly heterogeneous and there is a large distribution of clock speeds, core-counts and architectures available. Based on resource requirements (e.g., software requirements, operating system, etc.) of an experiment, the system distributes simulations to respective processors accordingly. In the last month while doing an experiment consenting an ACT-R model regarding fatigue, the system was sustaining rates at about 4 TFlops. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss your individual computational needs or if you have any further questions.
