Could you please help me for using the python interface defined in actr.py, for defining a new chunk. I have a chunk type shown below "(chunk-type navigation navigationStart navigationEnd navigationCurrent navigationTrigger)" With RPC I am able to define a chunk of type "navigation" successfully using the "evaluate" method. With python interface ( ACT-R\tutorial\python) I am learning how to use "actr.define_chunks" I found an example in ACT-R\tutorial\python\onehit.py, as well as in ACT-R\tutorial\python\categorize.py tried to follow the same pattern but no success yet. Could you please provide me an example. Thanks & Regards, Arun -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We are looking for a tenure track Assistant Professor (see The University of Groningen Career Paths in Science) in human-computer collaboration or a closely related field. The position focuses on enhancing human-computer collaboration by employing methodology from cognitive engineering, brain-computer interfacing and models of multi-agent interaction. It will strike a balance between data-driven approaches which exploit machine learning techniques and theory-driven approaches in which practical choices are derived from general principles. The goal is to work towards designs in which collaborations between humans and machines are superior to either in isolation.

Following our success in previous years, ICCM has again joined forces with the Society for Mathematical Psychology to create a conference in which all sessions are open to all attendees, and cross-talk is highly encouraged. Virtual MathPsych/ICCM 2021 is a forum for presenting and discussing the complete spectrum of cognitive modeling approaches, including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures. Research topics can range from low-level perception to high-level reasoning. We also welcome contributions that use computational models to better understand neuroscientific data. Format and venue Following the model of the successful 2020 virtual meeting, the conference will be fully online, with no in-person component, and all submitted presentations to be provided as recordings. The conference will once again take place on the Society for Mathematical Psychology?s online venue, mathpsych.org. Access will be provided upon registration. The interactive component of the virtual conference will run from July 1, 2021 to July 12, 2021 and will involve live Q&A sessions, live plenary talks, social events, and more. Pre-recorded talks and posters and a discussion forum will be available throughout the conference period. Call for symposia Symposia are blocks of four to eight regular-length presentations on a relatively narrow topic. ?Regular length? means that there are 20 minutes total per presentation (this includes time for questions and answers). To propose a symposium, send an email to conferencecommittee at mathpsych.org with subject line ?Symposium:? followed by a short title. In the body of the email, please provide a symposium title; a 200-250 word abstract; and a proposed list of speakers. Please also indicate which speakers (if any) have already agreed to contribute. The deadline for symposium proposals is April 1, 2021. The conference committee will review proposals within one week. The strongest proposals involve a topic that is of interest to many conference attendees, while also attracting new people who don?t normally attend the conference. Ideally, many of the proposed speakers have already agreed to contribute. Submission categories There are four submission categories. In all cases, submitters should send in an abstract for review. Once the abstract is accepted, submitters will be invited to submit a recorded presentation. These recorded presentations will be made available for viewing some time before the interactive component of the conference starts. MathPsych????? Submission length???? <= 250 words Virtual Talk???

VISCA is an attempt to bring together leaders in the field to share their current research across the breadth of cognitive architecture, including research on modeling human behavior, neural-cognitive architectures, functional capabilities of cognitive architectures, components of cognitive architectures, and applications. Our goal is to enable anyone in the world to participate. Please share this webpage with colleagues and friends who might be interested. There are no registration fees or other costs. All that we ask is that you register so we can provide you access to the symposium and the materials we collect. The symposium will be a live event, June 8-11, with the exact times varying each day, but always between 10am-1:30pm EDST. Each day will consist of a series of 30 min talks followed by a 30 min moderated discussion session. Videos of the presentations will be available after the symposium. We will use Zoom Webinar for the presentations. An email will be sent to all registrants with details of how to participate. Email laird at umich.edu if you have questions. For those interested in the Soar cognitive architecture, the Soar Workshop will be held 14 Jun.

It is open access, so it is freely available. Rather than sending you a copy, we can send you this link (below). It is related to our foundations for designing user-centered systems (Ritter, Baxter, & Churchill), but far shorter (125 vs. 442 pages). It is a short read on how to build better systems by taking the user into account. It includes a worked example on how to build interfaces for a Mars rover (timely) that provide the operator better situation awareness and that are clearer and faster to use.

[That is, you can download it now.] One of the original goals of artificial intelligence research was to endow intelligent agents with human-level natural language capabilities. Recent AI research, however, has focused on applying statistical and machine learning approaches to big data rather than attempting to model what people do and how they do it. In this book, Marjorie McShane and Sergei Nirenburg return to the original goal of recreating human-level intelligence in a machine. They present a human-inspired, linguistically sophisticated model of language understanding for intelligent agent systems that emphasizes meaning?the deep, context-sensitive meaning that a person derives from spoken or written language. With Linguistics for the Age of AI, McShane and Nirenburg offer a roadmap for creating language-endowed intelligent agents (LEIAs) that can understand, explain, and learn. They describe the language-understanding capabilities of LEIAs from the perspectives of cognitive modeling and system building, emphasizing ?actionability??which involves achieving interpretations that are sufficiently deep, precise, and confident to support reasoning about action. After detailing their microtheories for topics such as semantic analysis, basic coreference, and situational reasoning, McShane and Nirenburg turn to agent applications developed using those microtheories and evaluations of a LEIA's language understanding capabilities. McShane and Nirenburg argue that the only way to achieve human-level language understanding by machines is to place linguistics front and center, using statistics and big data as contributing resources. They lay out a long-term research program that addresses linguistics and real-world reasoning together, within a comprehensive cognitive architecture.

Many Penn State students choose Penn State because of the abundance of opportunities to be a spectator rather than a participant in sporting events. Because of the local pandemic Penn State administrators have reached out to the faculty and student leaders to create a new program in spectator sports that can be done remotely. Alumni board member Brandon Short (and former All-American linebacker) notes that providing further opportunities to recruit students who want to watch sports is the best way forward for Penn State because this program will increase student applications, allow us to maintain or increase our academic standards due to demand outpacing supply. It helps recruit talented faculty and staff. It increases giving across the university and it enhances the local economy.? The minor, available through all programs, will draw on the multiple strengths of Penn State, including athletic facilities and academic strengths using the multiple stadiums (softball, field hockey, tennis, football, hockey, another football, soccer, baseball, another baseball, golf) as well as courses on folk psychology, cognition, statistics and probability, crowd psychology, and leisure studies. Students will not be fully qualified as journalists, but some time will be spent on writing letters to the editors and presenting positions on call-in programs. It will also draw on the best turf grass program in the US (https://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/penn-state-online-turfgrass-programs). The first class will be expected in two years when the stadium is open again (tickets will be guaranteed upon appropriate donations to the football foundation). Graduates will be qualified to be professional spectators upon graduation. Football is finally going to serve the university, fulfilling Jay and Joe Paterno?s dream. Concentrations are anticipated in (gridiron) football and restful yoga. Sandy Barbour, the Athletic Director and assistant lecturer in the program, noted ?The university is looking for sponsors from such sources as the NHL, NBA, and WNBA. We will continue to fundraise to make this and future projects a reality.? ********************************************************************** 8) Connectionists: Lecture Morency: Multimodal AI: Understanding Human Behaviors, ??? 6 Apr 21, 17-18 CET.
