Connectionists: DEADLINE EXTENSION for paper submission to the Special Track on Neuroscience and AI at AGI-11

[Randal Koene]

Dear colleagues,

***
By popular request, the deadline for submissions to the Special Track on
NEUROSCIENCE and AI at the Fourth Artificial General Intelligence Conference
(AGI-11), at Google in Mountain View, CA, has been EXTENDED TO MARCH 1.
***

Once more, I would like to invite you to submit you paper (short, long,
prepared, new) to the Special Track on NEUROSCIENCE and AI at the Fourth
Artificial General Intelligence Conference (AGI-11), August 3-6, at Google
in Mountain View, CA.

http://agi-conf.org/2011/conference-schedule/special-session-on-agi-and-neuroscience/

The Artificial General Intelligence conference series focuses on theoretical
and practical AI work aimed toward the original goal of the AI field:
creating artificial systems with general intelligence at the human level,
and ultimately beyond.

This pursuit obviously has a great deal to learn from neuroscience, and
possibly may provide some guidance to theoretical neuroscience as well.
Thus, in the Fourth Conference on AGI, we have considered it appropriate to
organize a Special Session focusing specifically on the intersection of
neuroscience and AGI.

We are eager to obtain submissions from neuroscience researchers whose work
has led them to conclusions or hypotheses that they believe relevant to
researchers constructing AI systems aimed at human-level general
intelligence. This may be an opportunity for neuroscientists to present, to
an eager audience, ideas that (while grounded in data) are too theoretical
or speculative for conventional neuroscience conferences. The door is open
for papers presenting holistic considerations regarding modeling or
simulating brain function, models of specific brain regions or networks, or
models of specific brain processes (even at the neural level or below, for
example) – anything with interesting implications for the digital
implementation of general intelligence.

If you would like to submit a paper to this Special Session, please follow
the instructions at http://agi-conf.org/2011/call-for-papers/ and submit
your paper similarly to a regular AGI-11 conference paper. However, you
should also email me, the Chair of the Special Session to ensure your paper
is reviewed with the Special Session in mind. Send these emails either to
r at halcyonmolecular.com or to Randal.A.Koene at carboncopies.org.

Remember, the submission deadline for the Special Session is March 1, 2011!

Yours cordially,
Randal A. Koene
