Connectionists: ICDL Poster deadline extended to March 8

[nagai.yukie at mail.u-tokyo.ac.jp]

Dear colleagues,

Join us in Austin May 20-23, 2024 for the IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL). ICDL is an intimate and unique meeting gathering researchers interested in development from the perspective of ecological psychology, robotics, and computation. While the deadline for full paper submissions has passed, there is still time to submit to the poster tracks!

We have confirmed an amazing list of speakers for the event - including a keynote by Jitendra Malik, the research director for Facebook AI - as well as 20 of the most important thinkers in this space. Our goal is to encourage deep conversations through carefully curated single-track symposia, including: 

[ Curiosity-Driven Learning and Predictive Models ]
Yukie Nagai - The University of Tokyo, Japan
Elizabeth Bonawitz - Harvard University, USA
Gert Westermann - Lancaster Univbersity, UK
Michael Goldstein - Cornell University, USA

[ Language Development in Humans and Machines ]
Xavier Hinaut - Inria & Bordeaux University, France
Casey Lew-Williams - Princeton University, USA
Daniel Messinger - University of Miami, USA
Catherine Laing - University of York, UK

[ Developmental Machine Learning and Everyday Inputs ]
Karen Adolph - New York University, USA
Linda Smith - Indiana University, USA
Jochen Triesch - Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, Germany
Marvin Lavechin - Ecole Normale Supérieure, France

[ Egocentric vision and attention ]
John Franchak - University of California, Riverside, USA
Kristen Grauman - The University of Texas at Austin, USA
Mary Hayhoe - The University of Texas at Austin, USA
Jim Rehg - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA

[ Body Representation and Sensorimotor Organization ]
Daniela Corbetta - The University of Tennessee, USA
Matej Hoffmann - Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic
Hoshinori Kanazawa - The University of Tokyo, Japan
Peter Marshall - Temple University, USA

Deadline for 1-page poster abstracts and journal track poster submissions: March 1, 2024 -> March 8, 2024 (extended)

Submissions are invited on a range of topics including but not limited to:
● Embodied learning and development in biological systems and robots
● Developmental stages and sensitive periods
● Emergence of verbal and nonverbal communication
● Curiosity, intrinsic motivations, exploration, play and active learning
● Architectures for lifelong learning
● Emergence of body and affordance perception
● Learning control of body movement
● Emotional development and the role of emotion in learning
● Prediction, planning, and problem solving
● The relationship between evolution and development
● Epistemological foundations and philosophical issues
● Robotic and computational models of human and animal development
● Developmentally-inspired machine learning
● Human-robot interaction in developmental contexts
● Applications of machine learning to human and animal development

[ 1-page poster abstracts ]
To encourage discussion of late-breaking results or for work that is not sufficiently mature for a full paper, we will accept 1-page abstracts. These submissions will not be included in the conference proceedings. Accepted abstracts will be presented during the poster session.

[ Journal-track posters ]
Journal track poster submissions must be about a journal paper that has been published recently (no earlier than December 2022), on a topic relevant to ICDL.

Please see https://la.utexas.edu/users/dil/ICDL_Austin_2024/ for submission details.

Best regards,
Yukie Nagai, on behalf of the organizing committees
