[Computational Cognition 2019]

Call for participation and contributions:

*Computational Cognition 2019 Workshop*
1-2 October 2019, Osnabrück, Germany

www.comco2019.com <http://comco2019.com/>

** An interdisciplinary networking event / scientific workshop **

We would like to draw your attention to an upcoming scientific community
event.

A lot is known about the neural signals underlying basic sensorimotor
processes and also a fair bit about the cognitive processes involved in
reasoning, problem-solving, or language. However, explaining how high-level
cognition can arise from low-level mechanisms is a long-standing open
problem in Cognitive Science. Therefore, this workshop tackles problems
such as grammar learning, structured representations, or the production of
complex behaviors with neural modeling, aiming to contribute to the
re-integration of Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence.

*COMCO 2019* brings together experts studying the mind from a computational
point of view to better understand human and machine intelligence. Thus, if
you are interested in the following or related fields, this event is for
you:

   - Cognitive Science
   - Artificial Intelligence
   - Deep Learning
   - Neuroscience
   - Linguistics

This workshop will combine poster sessions and, invited speakers and
participants contributed talks in a networking and ideas-exchanging event
on the splendid setting of the Botanical Garden in Osnabrück.

Invited and confirmed speakers:

   - *Karl Friston*, University College London
   - *Roger Levy*, Massachusets Institute of Technology
   - *Colin Phillips*, University of Maryland
   - *Will Monroe*, Standford University and Duolingo
   - *Tim Kietzmann*, University of Cambridge
   - *Terrence Stewart*, University of Waterloo
   - *Dieuwke Hupkes*, University of Amsterdam

We encourage participants to submit a 1-page (A4 format) abstract for
presenting their research projects at the poster session and/or to give a
20 minute contributed talk among our invited speakers. For that, please
note the following deadlines:

   - Abstract submission: September 1st
   - Acceptance notification: September 10th
   - Bachelor and Master students: 50 Euro
   - Other participants: 125 Euro

Also, please note the following deadlines:

   - Registration: September 1st
   - Registration fee payment: September 15th
   - Registration cancellation: September 20th

We are looking forward to meeting you at the workshop!
