12 events found.
Christian Poth (Bielefeld University), “Task-driven phasic alertness: How being ready for action relies on the current task”
Abstract: Humans often must respond quickly to events happening in their environment. To support fast perception and action, the brain has evolved a warning system. Warning stimuli are used to
POSTPONED: Onur Güntürkün (Ruhr-Universität Bochum), “The evolution of brain and cognition: A wild hypothesis”
Onur Güntürkün is regarded as a pioneer of biologically based psychology. The aim of his work is to find out how perception, thought and action arise in the brain. He
Michael Beetz (Universität Bremen), “Empowering Robots with Digital Mental Models: Filling the Cognitive Gap for Everyday Tasks”
In this talk I introduce Digital Mental Models (DMMs) as a novel cognitive capability of AI-powered and cognition-enabled robots. By combining digital twin technology with symbolic knowledge representation and embodying
Fariba Karimi (Graz University of Technology), “Complexity Science for Societal Good”
MAR 2.057Abstract: Social inequalities -- structured and recurrent patterns of unequal distribution of wealth, opportunities, and rewards -- are on the rise, and quick-fix, top-down approaches are failing. Structural inequality is
Heiner Spieß (Science of Intelligence), “Tools to study the generality of Deep Neural Network Representations”
More details to follow. This talk will take place in person at SCIoI.
Jacek Wiland, “Assessing the Factual Knowledge Contained in Language Models During Lifelong Learning”
More details to follow. This talk will take place in person at SCIoI.
Hector Garcia de Marina (University of Granada), “Practical challenges in formation control and mobile robot swarms”
MAR 2.057Abstract: Robot swarms have the potential to assist us with simpler logistics in persistent missions involving vast scenarios. Robot swarms also promise added resilience to complete their objectives despite unforeseen
Pavel Němec (Charles University), “Two independent origins of complex brains and intelligent behavior in birds and mammals”
Abstract: Over the last 20 years, it has been shown that birds and mammals are startlingly similar in their cognitive repertoire. Even the most intelligent taxa from each group –
Serge Belongie (University of Copenhagen), “Searching for Structure in Unfalsifiable Claims”
Abstract: While advances in automated fact-checking are critical in the fight against the spread of misinformation in social media, we argue that more attention is needed in the domain of

This year, SCIoI is once again delighted to be part of Girls' Day, an event dedicated to offering school-aged girls the opportunity to explore new experiences and gain insights into
Joshua B. Evans, “Creating Multi-Level Skill Hierarchies in Reinforcement Learning”
Abstract: What is a useful skill hierarchy for an autonomous agent? In this talk, we will consider a possible answer based on a graphical representation of how the interaction between
