Connectionists: Extended Deadline (5 February) SI CC-CogM+RS @CognitiveComputation (Springer)

================================================
Cognitive Computation
Special Issue on Bridging Cognitive Models and Recommender Systems
(CC-CogM+RS)

Call for Papers

Extended Deadline (strict): February 5th, 2018
================================================


BACKGROUND:
The aim of this special issue is to provide a space for researchers to
discuss the possible points of contact and to highlight the issues and the
advantages of bridging different fields for the study of cognitive
architectures for recommendation, as well as recommender systems shaping
cognitive architectures.

In recent conferences and meetings, we realized that this bridged topic has
not received sufficient attention. In our opinion, recommendations should
also be designed/evaluated taking into account cognitive and emotional
factors. This issue is closely related with key trends that are in the peak
of the Gartner's 2016 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies (
gartner.com/newsroom/id/3412017) as cognitive expert advisors, machine
learning or smart robots.

This bridge should be traveled in both sides. From one side, cognition
represents an ideal model to link different disciplines, as the field of
Robotics and that of Interaction studies, or the field of Decision Support
Systems and that of Information Retrieval. Cognitive architectures are
providing recommendations to an agent (a human or a robot) in order to
interact with the environment (perceived environment or collected data).

On the other side, expert recommender systems, by getting assessment from
collaborative human expertise, can automate, in a cognitive way, procedures
and tasks, either for physical agents, like robots, or soft agents
collecting information from databases or Internet.

Interaction experiences bridging cognitive architectures and recommender
systems refers not only to objective measures related with the associated
task, but especially to the subjective ones: emotions, mood, engagement,
availability. Appealing architectures managing these concerns consider
fuzzy / hesitant / qualitative / uncertainty measures and reasoning.


TOPICS COVERED:
- Cognitive modeling, cognitive systems, cognitive architectures, cognitive
representations.
- Recommender systems, decision support systems, group decision making,
cognitive expert advisors.
- Context-aware systems, sentiment analysis, and social data analysis.
- Logic and reasoning, spatial thinking, spatio-temporal reasoning,
common-sense reasoning.
- Theoretical foundations of cognitive models and recommender systems:
machine learning, computational intelligence, data analysis and data
mining, knowledge acquisition and representation, adaptive
perception/cognition.
- Cognitive Robotics.
- Applications involving topics from above and focused on: education,
robotics, creativity, ambient-intelligence, health-care
