Varios integrantes de IAS-Research estarán presentes en el workshop, como participantes, organizadores y conferenciantes invitados.

El evento se articulará a través de dos simposios principales: uno titulado The sensorimotor dynamics of agent-environment interaction y un segundo sobre Social and emotional interaction. El workshop también se centrará en integrar estos dos aspectos (sociales y sensomotores) de la interacción.

Ponentes Invitados

Los dos simposios compartirán ponentes invitados en charlas plenarias: Ezequiel Di Paolo (cuya ponencia integrará aspectos sensomotores y sociales de la interacción), Randall Beer y William Warren como invitados del primers simposio en “Agent-Environment Interaction” y Lola Cañamero and Hanne de Jaegher como invitadas del “Social Interaction Symposium”.

Otros eventos

Además de los simposios y las conferencias plenarias el Workshop contará con dos eventos adicionales centrados en experimentos y concursos basados en el Test de Turing: el Human-like Bots Competition y el Multiplayer Perceptual Crossing Test .

Envio de comunicaciones

El workshop está abierto a la participación, podrán enviarse ponencias siguiendo las instrucciones que se encuentran en la página oficial del evento, las comunicaciones se entregarán de forma diferenciada para los dos simposios.

  • 19 de Noviembre 2012: Fecha límite de envio de abstracts
  • 29 de Noviembre 2012: Anuncio de la decisión sobre aceptación de abstracts
  • 7 de Diciembre 2012: Entrega de final del abstract corregido y publicación del programa final.

Beer (Cognitive Science Program, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, USA) will be giving an IAS-Research Talk entitled “The Cognitive Domain of a Glider in the Game of Life” on Tuesday the 15th January 2013 at 11.00am at B14 Room at the Carlos Santamaría Building.

ABSTRACT: This talk will examine in some technical detail the application of Maturana and Varela’s biology of cognition to a simple concrete model: a glider in the Game of Life cellular automaton. By adopting an autopoietic perspective on a glider, the set of possible perturbations to it can be divided into destructive and nondestructive subsets. From a glider’s reaction to each nondestructive perturbation, its cognitive domain will then mapped. In addition, the structure of a glider’s possible knowledge of its immediate environment, and the way in which that knowledge is grounded in its constitution, will be fully described. The notion of structural coupling will then be explored by characterizing the paths of mutual perturbation that a glider and its environment can undergo. Finally, a simple example of a communicative interaction between two gliders will be given.

Date and place: 4th September 2012, at 14.30, Room B1, Carlos Santamaría Building.

Abstract: In this talk, I will talk about a simulation study for agency detection and human experiments for behavioural turing test. These are recent results of series of my work using perceptual crossing paradigm where the interaction of agents or humans is restricted into simple sensor and motor. In the agency detection it is investigated how the embodied agents can establish a live interaction and discriminate this from interactions from recorded motions that are identical to the live interaction but cannot react contingently. In the behavioural turing test, it is investigated how the human can discriminate with the non-human moving objects. Both studies support that the turn-taking behaviour plays an important role to achieve the tasks and we will see how the simple embodied interaction can evolve to communicative interaction.
