===================================================
*CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE ICDL 2024 AI-COGDEV WORKSHOP*
===================================================

*Call for AI-CogDev - "Architecting Intelligence: Exploring Intersections
in Cognitive Robotics and Developmental Learning" workshop*

IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL 2024)
May 20th in Austin, Texas, USA

*=== Important dates ===*
Abstract submission deadline: April 1st, 2024
Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2024
Camera-ready deadline: May 5th, 2024
Workshop date: May 20th (half-day), 2024

Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/aicogdev-workshop


*=== Motivation and Goals ===*

Humans are arguably the most adaptable species on Earth, not because we are
exceptionally skilled at anything but because we are incredibly good at
learning new skills. We don't have a perfect model of the world around us,
but we can constantly update our partial view of it. We can't read other
people's minds, but we can get to know them and make assumptions about
their intentions. 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 the
same adaptability 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.

Topics of interest include, but are definitely not limited to:

   - Cognitive Architectures applied to real or simulated embodiments
   - Developmental Learning and Developmental Robotics
   - Symbol grounding and concept emergence in autonomous systems
   - Open-ended Reinforcement Learning
   - Curiosity and exploration to bootstrap learning


*=== Call for Contributions ===*

In pursuit of fostering insightful conversation on the topic of learning,
particularly at the intersection of Cognitive Architectures and
Developmental AI, we invite participants to submit their contributions.
Submissions may be an extended abstract (2 to 4 pages) or a short position
paper (1 page).

Beyond submitting papers presenting state-of-the-art research, we invite
authors to share works in progress, reports featuring preliminary results,
and critical reflections and position papers. This inclusive approach
allows for exploring and identifying pertinent and novel discussion points
that authors may wish to address during the ensuing panel discussions.

Submissions should be sent in a PDF format to AI-CogDev forms
<https://forms.gle/Gbd7XaXD9EzDsRpL7>.  Accepted submissions will be
presented orally.

*=== Organizers ===*
