We don't have a perfect model of the world around us, but we can constantly update the partial view we have of it. We can't read other people's minds, but we can get to know them and make assumptions about their intentions.<br> We, as researchers, can make models of the inner workings of the human brain, describe its functional components, and replicate specific behaviors in controlled environments. But if we want to move those models into the real, human, world, we need to gift those models with that same adaptability that we possess. We believe that to achieve such a monumental goal, we cannot be satisfied with building "static" systems, but should instead create dynamic architectures that grow and learn, inspired by what infants do every day.</div> <div style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <b>=== Overview and Final Program ===</b></div> <div style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> The workshop will consist of two keynote from invited speakers, a presentation of short contributions, a round table for all presenters to discuss, and an Open Discussion.
