Scope

As the algorithms for learning single tasks in restricted environments are
improving, new challenges have gained relevance. They include multi-task
learning, multimodal sensorimotor learning in open worlds and lifelong
adaptation to injury, growth and ageing.


In this workshop we will discuss the developmental processes involved in
the emergence of representations of action and perception in humans and
artificial agents in continual learning. These processes include
action-perception cycle, active perception, continual sensory-motor learning,
environmental-driven scaffolding, and intrinsic motivation.

The discussion will be strongly motivated by behavioural and neural data.
We hope to provide a discussion friendly environment to connect with
research with similar interest regardless of their area of expertise which
could include robotics, computer science, psychology, neuroscience, etc. We
would also like to devise a roadmap or strategies to develop mathematical
and computational models to improve robot performance and/or to attempt to
unveil the underlying mechanisms that lead to continual adaptation to
changing environment or embodiment and continual learning in open-ended
environments.

The primary list of topics covers the following (but not limited to):

   -

   Emergence of representations via continual interaction
   -

   Continual sensory-motor learning
   -

   Action-perception cycle
   -
