The key idea of a quantitative modeling and understanding of human behaviors through computational models is a long-term goal. Recent advances in mathematics, computer science, signal processing, machine learning (including Big Data) and robotics now make it possible to consider the development of tools or systems for human-human interaction or human-computer interaction analysis. This will break a new ground for future studies of human behaviors through the lens of complementary domains such as social neuroscience, psychology, sociology as well as psychiatry. This school is organized in the context of the Laboratory of Excellence SMART Human/Machine/Human Interactions in the Digital Society (<a href="http://www.smart-labex.fr/" class="">http://www.smart-labex.fr/</a>) Objectives: The SMART School on Computational Social and Behavioral Sciences will contribute to bridge the gap between the areas of social neuroscience, linguistics, psychology and sociology on the one hand, and mathematics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, social networks, autonomous agents and social signal processing on the other hand. This interdisciplinary framework will be efficient only if regulatory and ethical issues are taken into account at the early steps of the research. This school allows completing the training of PhD students in computational sciences whom research require a background in human behavior analysis, modeling and/or synthesis.<div class=""> </div><div class="">The main topics of the 2017 edition are Influence and Decision. <div class=""> Tracks: - Sensing human behaviors, emotions and sentiments - Opinion and behaviours influence - Human-machine interaction and decision - Information diffusion on social networks - Neural basis of decision - Reinforcement learning - Ethical issues - Influence of biomarkers on medical decisions - Industrial applications of influence and decision theories and models List of speakers (to be completed): <ul class=""> <li class="">Rachid Alami (LAAS-CNRS)</li> <li class="">Kévin Bailly (ISIR, UPMC)</li> <li class="">Laurent Boudin (LJLL, UPMC)</li> <li class="">Raja Chatila (ISIR, UPMC)</li> <li class="">Chloé Clavel (LTCI, Institut Mines Telecom)</li> <li class="">Jean Daunizeau (INSERM, ICM) </li> <li class="">Jacques Dubucs (Paris Sorbonne)</li> <li class="">Benoît Girard (ISIR, UPMC)</li> <li class="">Mehdi Khamassi (ISIR, UPMC) </li> <li class="">Sylvain Lamprier (LIP6, UPMC)</li> <li class="">Vincent Perlbarg (LIB)</li> <li class="">Mathias Pessiglione (INSERM, ICM) </li> <li class="">Louis Puybasset (LIB)</li> <li class="">Liane Schmidt (ICM, INSEAD-Sorbonne Behavioural Lab)</li> </ul><div class=""> </div>School application: Ph.
