From frank.ritter at PSU.EDU Thu Nov 17 15:41:27 2022 From: frank.ritter at PSU.EDU (Frank Ritter) Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 15:41:27 -0500 Subject: [ACT-R-users] ICCM23: ACS conference free this weekend / ICCM update, conferences, jobs Message-ID: <657afef7-b59f-654c-2e39-c40b0b0cc460@psu.edu> The Advances in Cognitive Systems conference is going on in person in DC and in Zoom this weekend. I suggest you check it out. I?ve been, and the work is interesting and the discussion helpful. I would note that I have heard that ICCM will be in the Netherlands, co-located with MathPsych in Summer 2023. Dates will allow travel to Australia and Cogsci. The bonus is advice from a well-regarded epidemiologist on how to travel this winter with COVID-19, RSV, and influenza out and about. I know long COVID sufferers, and had a colleague go down for two weeks with RSV, which I had not heard about until this year.? So, please stay sensibly safe out there. I remain a user of an AraNet 4 CO2 monitor, which tells me how well ventilated a space is. Like a thermometer, but for ventilation.

This award is named after Professor Victor Lesser, a long-standing member of the AAMAS community who has supervised a large number of outstanding PhD students in the area. It is awarded for dissertations written as part of a PhD defended in the specified period, nominated by the supervisor (with supporting references), which show originality, significance and impact, and are supported by high quality publications. Nominations are invited for the award which is sponsored by IFAAMAS and will be presented at AAMAS-2023.

This award includes a certificate and a 1500 EUR payment. ?Important Dates Submission deadline: 15 Oct 22 Selection procedure: The selection of the dissertation will be based on the originality, significance, and impact of the work. Evidence of such impact include publications at highly selective conferences and journals in the field, with due importance given to the AAMAS conference series and JAAMAS. Research output that resulted primarily from the student?s initiative will be considered more favourably. The selection committee will be the final arbiter in the decision process. The selection committee might also decide to consult external assessors and reserves the right to not award the prize if the nominations do not meet the expected quality level. The dissertation must be nominated by the thesis supervisor and must be supported by the following documents, all should be delivered via the link below by 15 Oct 22: ? * A link to a PDF file of the dissertation.

We think it's important to ensure equitable participation in publishing in addition to equitable access to scientific output. We also think it's important for the whole world to send a message to the US government here, because as we know where the US goes, we all tend to follow and their decisions will have ripple effects everywhere else. As?you can see the letter already has 350 signatures, including representatives of funding bodies (Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative), library directors, open access journal editors (editor in chief of eLife, CEO of PLOS), as well as prominent scientists such as Tim Behrens and Yann LeCun. What we need to do now is to get many, many more people to sign, so if you could share with your networks?that would be a huge help as well. **************************************************************** 5) A GitHub Copilot lawsuit has been filed ???? ? https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithubcopilotlitigation.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ciccm-l%40lists.psu.edu%7Cbdcfa3bc63924763dac408dac8dc1b27%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C638043144912758351%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=s9abhIKbSAnPNeZdfGwuJt16fW7CLn9459lxV6SDO%2Bo%3D&reserved=0 [I have bought fonts from Matthew Butterick , for our zoom timer videos (acs.ist.psu.edu/timers).? He is a typographer, former lawyer, and website tool/publication tool developer. I am on his newsletter (available from his web site)? that is entertaining and educational.? This seems like a timely topic given that my university is allowing similar type of behavior unannounced or at least unannounced to me. ] About two weeks ago I told you that I had teamed up with the amazingly excellent class-action litigators Joseph Saveri, Cadio Zirpoli, and Travis Manfredi at the Joseph Saveri Law Firm to investigate GitHub Copilot. Today, we?ve filed a class-action lawsuit in US federal court in San Francisco, CA on behalf of a proposed class of possibly millions of GitHub users. We are challenging the legality of GitHub Copilot (and a related product, OpenAI Codex, which powers Copilot). The suit has been filed against a set of defendants that includes GitHub, Microsoft (owner of GitHub), and OpenAI. The initial complaint is available here: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithubcopilotlitigation.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ciccm-l%40lists.psu.edu%7Cbdcfa3bc63924763dac408dac8dc1b27%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C638043144912758351%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=s9abhIKbSAnPNeZdfGwuJt16fW7CLn9459lxV6SDO%2Bo%3D&reserved=0 This is the first step in what will be a long journey. As far as we know, this is the first class-action case in the US challenging the training and output of AI systems. It will not be the last. AI systems are not exempt from the law. Those who create and operate these systems must remain accountable. If companies like Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI choose to disregard the law, they should not expect that we the public will sit still. AI needs to be fair & ethical for everyone. If it?s not, then it can never achieve its vaunted aims of elevating humanity. It will just become another way for the privileged few to profit from the work of the many. We plan to update the website regularly during the litigation. Those who like Twitter can also follow @copilotcase. JOBS **************************************************************** 6)?

Open-Rank Tenure-Track Faculty in HCI at PSU, due 28 Nov The College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) http://ist.psu.edu/?at PSU invites applications for an Open-Rank, Tenure-Line Faculty position in HCI beginning in Fall 2023. For this search, we seek exceptional candidates with high-quality research and publications to strengthen and complement our current research programs. We particularly seek scholars who transformatively enhance objectives and approaches to social justice through the design of digital tools and infrastructures. We are interested in actionable approaches that strengthen social justice processes and outcomes through design research, and show how social justice processes and outcomes can expand from remediation of past and present social injustice to an inclusive and equitable re-envisioning of human possibilities. Specific design approaches may include but are not limited to VR/AR/XR, visualization, tangible interface, fabrication, human-AI interaction, assistive technology, sustainable computing technology, and sociotechnical system design. Specific examples are the design of digital tools and infrastructures to support greater dignity in work activity, that show how the enhancement of human dignity can be a design outcome, or how design can help move society from social economies of self-sufficiency, dyadic reciprocity, and autonomy to social economies of co-production, generalized reciprocity, and generalized responsibility. Candidates will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses including residential, online, or hybrid courses. Competitive applicants for the rank of Asst Prof will possess a PhD in IST or related fields before beginning employment at Penn State, a strong potential for developing an externally funded, collaborative, interdisciplinary research program, and the potential to contribute to the college?s teaching mission.

However, there is a change to the macOS standalone that is on the software page now. It has had an additional setup script added to the zip file which should make it easier to get things up and running. Running the new script first will clear all of the security flags for the other scripts and the included applications so that they don't have to be control-clicked and/or "allowed" to run. The setup video has also been updated to show the use of the new script. If you have any questions or problems with using that, let me know.
