AIM:
Recent advances in the theory and engineering of computational sciences
extended the application of automatic computers to novel domains,
introducing a new generation of software and hardware systems. These
artificially intelligent systems generally are equipped with sensors and
actuators through which they interact with the environment, leading to
abilities like vision, speech recognition and synthesis, and mobility.
They are able to learn from experience and represent learned knowledge
internally in an abstract, task-oriented form and operate based on this
knowledge which leads to cognitive abilities like natural language
understanding, problem solving and planning. They may also need to be
autonomous thus not requiring intense operator supervision and
intervention. Researching on these ideas is generally coupled with a
reverse engineering effort of the natural systems which are the living
examples. One major line here is building new computing systems inspired
from the neural network organization of animal brains. Realization of such
systems is a large inter-disciplinary effort requiring the collective work
of researchers from as distant domains as cognitive psychology,
neuroscience, linguistics, and physics from natural sciences, signal
processing, electronics, and mechanics from engineering sciences,
additional to computer science.
The objective of the Symposium is to bring together Turkish and foreign
researchers in the field, and to publicise their studies. There will be a
panel in the closing session. The subject of this panel will be determined
during the Symposium.
