                              Workshop on 
      Cognitive Modeling of Agents and Multi-Agent Interactions

                          During  IJCAI'2003 
                9-11 August, 2003. Acapulco, Mexico

Computational models of cognitive agents that incorporate a wide range
of cognitive functionalities (such as a variety of
memory/representation, various types of learning, and sensory motor
capabilities) have been developed in both AI and cognitive science.
In AI, they appear under the rubric of intelligent agents and
multi-agent systems. In cognitive science, they are often known as
cognitive architectures.  These strands of research provide useful
paradigms for addressing some fundamental questions in AI and
Cognitive Science.

Artificial intelligence started out with the goal of designing
functioning intelligent agents. However, faced with the enormous
difficulty of the task, the focus has largely been on modeling
specific aspects of intelligence, often in highly restricted domains.
Nevertheless, some researchers have focused on putting the pieces
together with the goal of designing autonomous agents. More important,
there is a growing interest in multi-agent interactions that addresses
issues of coordination and cooperation among cognitive agents.

On the other side, traditionally, the main focus of research in
cognitive science has been on specific components of cognition (e.g.,
perception, memory, learning, language). Recent developments in
computational modeling of cognitive architectures provide new avenues
for precisely specifying complex cognitive processes in tangible ways,
thereby addressing foundational questions in cognitive science. Such
developments need to be extended to multi-agent interactions and there
are promising developments in this regard (see e.g. recent papers in
this area in the journal Cognitive Systems Research).

Against this background, this workshop seeks to bring together
cognitive scientists and AI researchers, with a wide range of
background and expertise, to discuss research problems in
understanding cognition at the individual level as well as at the
collective level.

   First CFP: IJCAI-2003 Workshop -- Learning Graphical Models for
                        Computational Genomics
                       Saturday, 9 August 2003
                           Acapulco, Mexico
 http://www.kddresearch.org/KDD/Workshops/IJCAI-2003-Bioinformatics/


Recent advances in experimental tools for computational genomics have
led to sharp growth in data resources for bioinformatics problems such
as modeling of gene expression and gene-protein interaction.  This
provides an interesting application domain for intelligent systems
that learn graphical models from data for causal modeling, time series
simulation and prediction, and classification and regression problems
in computational life sciences.

In response, we propose a workshop to bring together researchers in
intelligent systems who are interested in:
* probabilistic reasoning and learning with the primary focus of:
  learning the structure of graphical models from data,
  new graphical models such as types of dynamic Bayesian networks,
  stochastic and other approximation algorithms for inference,
  structure learning;
* constraint-based knowledge representation;
* parameter estimation on graphical models and dynamical systems.

FORMAT
The one day workshop will include one or more invited talks and
specialized tutorials on state-of-the-art research problems and
methodologies, presentations by selected participants, and a panel and
open discussion on key topics.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Participants are encouraged to submit papers (up to 8 pages in length)
on recent and continuing research, formatted according to IJCAI
guidelines. Experimental results are also encouraged, especially on
fielded applications, even if they are only preliminary. Papers should
be submitted electronically in Postscipt, PDF, MS Word format via
e-mail.

To encourage participation but focus discussions on key topics, we
also invite 2-page research synopses and position papers from
attendants who do not submit full papers.

Each submission shall be accompanied by a short statement, up to 500
words or one page in length from each participants. This should
describe your interest in and perspectives on this workshop topic.

DUAL SUBMISSION POLICY: Submission of short (2-page OR 6-8 page)
synopses of articles currently in preparation, under review, or
accepted for publication as journals or book chapters is permitted.
Submission of full-length papers currently under review for other
conferences and workshops is also permitted. However, these papers
shall be published in the working notes for this workshop if and
only if they are compliant with the dual-submission guidelines of
the other conference or workshop.

Please consult the workshop web page for formatting instructions.

All submissions should be sent to:

                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                Intelligent Data Analysis  - IOS Press
                           SPECIAL ISSUE on
                 INCREMENTAL LEARNING SYSTEMS CAPABLE
                    OF DEALING WITH CONCEPT DRIFT

Special issue Editors:
Miroslav Kubat, University of Miami, USA
Joćo Gama, University of Porto, Portugal
Paul Utgoff, University of Massachusetts, USA

Suppose the existence of a concept description that has been induced
from a set, T, of training examples.  Suppose that later another set,
T', of examples become available.  What is the most effective way to
modify the concept so as to reflect the examples from T'?  In many
real-world learning problems the data flows continuously and learning
algorithms should be able to respond to this circumstance.  The first
requirement of such algorithms is thus incrementality, the ability to
incorporate new information.  If the process is not strictly
stationary, the target concept could gradually change over time, a
fact that should be reflected also by the current version of the
induced concept description.

The ability to react to concept drift can thus be viewed as a natural
extension of incremental learning systems.  These techniques can be
useful for scaling-up learning algorithms to very large datasets.
Other types of problems were these techniques could be potentially
useful include: user-modelling, control in dynamic environments,
web-mining, times series, etc.

Most of evaluation methods for machine learning
(e.g. cross-validation) assume that examples are independent and
identically distributed. This assumption is clear unrealistic in the
presence of concept drift.  How can we estimate the performance of
learning systems under these constrains?

The objective of the special issue is to present the current status of
algorithms, applications, and evaluation methods for these problems.

Relevant techniques include the following (but are not limited to):
1.      Incremental, online, real-time, and any-time learning algorithms
2.      Algorithms that learn in the presence of concept drift
3.      Evaluation Methods for dynamic instance distributions
4.      Real world applications that involve online learning
5.      Theory on learning under concept drift.

SUBMISSION DETAILS:
We are expecting full papers to describe original, previously
unpublished research, be written in English, and not be simultaneously
submitted for publication elsewhere (previous publication of partial
results at workshops with informal proceedings is allowed).  We could
also consider the publication of high-quality surveys on these topics.

                         DOING IT WITH STYLE:
       Computational Approaches to Style Analysis and Synthesis
                    August 10/11, Acapulco, Mexico

                http://ir.iit.edu/~argamon/style2003/

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Style is an intuitive concept which may be roughly defined as the
'manner' in which something is done, as opposed to the 'content' of
what actually is being accomplished.  In recent years a growing number
of researchers working in a variety of different areas have focused on
explicitly addressing recognition and generation of style in their
various disciplines, work that contrast with more traditional emphasis
on 'performance' or 'content' or 'meaning'.  Indeed, in some media
such as music, visual art and to a lesser extent, film and even
expressive speech, 'meaning' itself comprises mainly factors such as
excitation and calmness or other emotional expressions that can be
considered aspects of style instead of what is usually thought of as
content.

Recent achievements in style research include systems for authorship
attribution, organizing and retrieving documents based on their
writing style, composing new music in a given composer's style,
rendering animation in different motion styles, and more.  Work in all
media shares the problem of formalizing a notion of style, and
developing a modeling language that supports the representation of
differing styles.  The precise methodology used may depend upon the
use of stylistic variation in a domain. Often, style is used to place
a work into a genre, i.e. a context of other works.  In other cases,
style can be used to connect affect to content, as in the generation
of animation sequences. Such different uses of style in some medium
can be analyzed and such analysis used to categorize or identify
particular works as well as to enable automatic generation of works
with particular styles.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers working
on a variety of style-related problems in order to explore the points
common to different approaches to our differing problems, and to work
towards finding common principles underlying computational issues of
style analysis and synthesis.  The primary question that we would like
to address is: "What is style and how may it be usefully
characterized?"

We seek submissions that address all aspects of style analysis and
synthesis from a computational perspective, in all media.  

SUBMISSIONS
For paper presentations, submissions of 10-12 pages in length should
be submitted by emailing a URL pointing to a Postscript, PDF, or HTML
format version of the paper to the workshop chair at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Accepted papers will be considered for inclusion in a special issue of 
the JASIST journal.

Subject: EEGLAB toolbox released
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 14:46:10 -0800

EEGLAB - Tools for advanced EEG data analysis under Matlab using ICA
and time/frequency methods - has been released under the GNU public
license for download from: http://sccn.ucsd.edu/eeglab/

EEGLAB is an integrated toolbox of 250 Matlab routines for analyzing
and visualizing event-related EEG (or MEG) brain data. EEG, event, and
channel location data can be read in a variety of formats. A graphic
user interface allows users to explore their data interactively, while
global data, event, and channel location structures, plus a command
history mechanism ease the transition to writing custom analysis
scripts. An extensive .html tutorial and help messages allow users to
learn to use all parts of the system. Matlab and binary routines for
performing infomax and extended-infomax ICA are included, as is the
sample EEG data set used throughout the tutorial.
