Wed Jul 17 10:31:17 EDT 2019
This is the third emailing for ICCM 2019. Please forward if
appropriate, and put appropriate links onto your web site.
The ICCM 2019 announcement (schedule) drives this email (it will
be in Montreal before CogSci, July 2019, now on a yearly schedule, hope
you can come!).
There are also numerous timely announcements that indicate new
publication outlets, resources, and jobs in Cog Sci and in cognitive
modeling, or jobs I think might take modelers with an application. I
have also included several unusual items, including some tools, an
obituary, and a documentary.
If you would like to be removed, please just let me know. I maintain
it by hand to keep it small.

Full Citation: Ritter, F. E., Tehranchi, F., & Oury, J.
D. (2019). ACT-R: A cognitive architecture for modeling cognition. Wiley
Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive Science. 10(3). Paper e1488.
ACT-R is a hybrid cognitive architecture. It is comprised of a set of
programmable information processing mechanisms that can be used to
predict and explain human behavior including cognition and interaction
with the environment. We start by reviewing its history, which shapes
its current form, contrasts and relates it to other architectures, and
helps readers to anticipate where it is going. Based on this his- tory,
we then describe it as a theory of cognition that is realized as a
computer pro- gram. After this, we briefly discuss tools for working
with ACT-R, and also note several major accomplishments that have been
gained by working with ACT-R in both basic and applied science,
including summarizing some of the insights about human behavior. We
conclude by discussing its future, which we believe will include adding
emotions and physiology, increasing usability, and the use of non-
generative models

About this Item: Echo Point Books & Media, United States,
2019. Hardback. Condition: New. Reprint ed. Language: English. Brand new
Book. First published in 1972, this monumental work develops and defends
the authors' information processing theory of human reasoning. Human
reasoners, they argue, can be modeled as symbolic "information
processing systems" (IPSs), abstracted entirely from physiological
bases. Modeling subjects with IPSs yields predictive theories of their
problem-solving behavior and performance, and psychological insight into
their heuristics and methods. Newell and Simon's previous epoch-making
collaborations included the General Problem Solver, the Logic Theorist,
and the Information Processing Language. This book is a careful
application of those ideas from artificial intelligence - the ideas of
AI's first golden age - to cognitive psychology. The authors first
develop the formal theory of information processing systems. They then
report studies of three symbolic reasoning tasks, and analyze that data
using the information processing paradigm. In the final section, they
state their comprehensive theory of human problem-solving. The success
of the models of cognition given in this work was a major piece of
evidence for the physical symbol system hypothesis, which Newell and
Simon would first state a few years later. Newell went on to co-develop
the Soar cognitive architecture, and Simon to receive the Nobel Prize in
Economics. The two jointly received the Turing Award in 1975 for the
research program of which Human Problem Solving was the culmination.

What are the principles of intelligence, shared by all forms of
intelligence, no matter whether artificial or biological, whether robot,
computer program, human, or animal? And how can we apply these
principles to create intelligent technology? Answering these questions -
in an ethically responsible way - is the central scientific objective of
the new Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence
(https://www.scioi.de/)
Researchers from a large number of analytic and synthetic disciplines -
artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer
vision, behavioral biology, cognitive science, psychology, educational
science, neuroscience, and philosophy - join forces to create a
multi-disciplinary research program across universities and research
institutes in Berlin. Our approach is driven by the insight, that any
method, concept, and theory must demonstrate its merits by contributing
to the intelligent behavior of a synthetic artifact, such as a robot or
a computer program. These artifacts represent the shared "language"
across disciplines, enabling the validation, combination, transfer, and
extension of research results. Thus we expect to attain cohesion among
disciplines, which currently produce their own theories and empirical
findings about aspects of intelligence.
Interdisciplinary research projects have been defined which combine
analytic and synthetic research and which address key aspects of
individual, social, and collective intelligence. In addition the Science
of Intelligence graduate program promotes the cross-disciplinary
education of young scientists on a Master, PhD, and postdoctoral
level. All PhD students associated with the cluster are expected to join
the Science of Intelligence doctoral program
(https://www.scioi.de/education/doctoral-program)
The cluster welcomes applications from all disciplines that contribute
to intelligence research. Applications shall be uploaded through the
application portal
(https://www.scioi.de/call-for-applications/application-process) where
details of the individual research projects
(https://www.scioi.de/call-for-applications/open-positions) are also
available. Please submit your applications by 15 Feb 19 to receive full
consideration. Applicants wishing to apply for several projects need to
upload separate applications for each project.

17) New grad position, programming, Eduworks, rolling
https://eduworks.com/careers.html
Eduworks Corporation - a small innovative software R&D company
headquartered in Corvallis OR - is seeking a full-time software
developer to join our team contributing to cutting edge government and
commercial applications applying AI techniques to a range of training
and education solutions. A solid base in full stack software development
is required, including at least one year of programming experience
(academic or professional) and a conceptual and practical understanding
of training and education in computing environments.
Due to the experimental nature of our work, experience with specific
languages and tools is less important than the ability to learn
independently, the desire to learn new skills rapidly, and the ability
take on tough challenges. Excellent communication and teamwork skills
are also required.
This position offers the opportunity to build your DevOps, Data
Engineering, AI, NLP, ML, and other skills while working as part of a
highly talented and motivated team in a flexible, performance-based work
environment that values developer initiative and encourages learning
through experimentation. Eduworks will provide significant training,
including support for ongoing graduate-level education as appropriate,
and is an equal opportunity employer that encourages qualified
applications from groups underrepresented in STEM disciplines. Remote
work is possible for a strong candidate (relocation to Corvallis is not
a strict requirement).
To apply, send a cover letter (or cover email) and resume to
jobs at eduworks.com. Direct applicants only.

18) AirForce Research Lab, Wright Paterson, Cognitive Branch Position
Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in field related to game theory or
decision theory.
US citizenship required.
Willingness to relocate to Wright-Patterson,
OH metro area The Air Force Research Laboratory has a
position available in the area of Game Theory.The 711 Human Performance
Wing/Supervisory Control and Cognition Branch, Intelligent Agents Team
(IAT) develops cognitive services that enhance human/systems performance
in net-centric command and control systems. The agent-based cognitive
services are designed to assume responsibility for and/or facilitate
processes currently occurring in the "cognitive echelon" of these
systems. The IAT specifies and executes intelligent agents in the
Cognitively Enhanced Complex Event Processing (CECEP) framework. In
resource allocation and planning contexts, CECEP agents are called upon
to guide human decision makers through large spaces of possible courses
of action. In these contexts agents:
(1) enumerate possible worlds;
(2) reason about uncertainty to identify probable worlds;
(3) evaluate threats, risks, and utilities in probable worlds; and
(4) use multi-objective optimization to identify preferable worlds.
The IAT is dedicated to developing agents capable of optimizing behavior in
increasingly complex and uncertain contexts-specifically contexts built
upon strategic interactions between rational decision makers. The IAT is
consequently seeking out a new team member that can significantly
contribute to the development of CECEP-based cognitive services that
capitalize on, game theory, decision theory, sequential optimization,
and a unification of logic (to manage complexity) and probability (to
manage uncertainty).
The new IAT member might have an educational background covering:
* Game Theory (specifically the mathematical modeling of strategic interaction)
* Rational Choice
* Decision Theory
* Mathematical/Computational Modeling
The new IAT member would ideally have an educational background
additionally covering:
* First-Order Probabilistic Models
* Planning as Satisfiability
* Satisfiability Modulo Theories
* Answer Set Programming
* Risk Analysis
