Tutorials

This year’s AGI conference will host several tutorials by recognized experts in the field.  If you are interested, please submit an abstract/paper and your resume to the contact below before the deadline.  See tutorials held in AGI-09 for examples.

Submission Deadline: 15 February 2010

Workshop: Toward a Serious Computational Science of Intelligence

pdf-iconFull-Length Call for Papers and Description (updated 24/10/09)

This workshop will be devoted to discussing research and development of AI and AGI against a set of five requirements that, sadly, are only infrequently satisfied. The quintet: Constructive (the work must seek to build, rather than merely criticize); Theorem-guided (the research must be guided by a formal approach that takes proof seriously); General (the work must cover both human and machine intelligence); Continuum (the research must set out a continuum of intelligence, ranging from that seen in dim animals (e.g., mice), to clever animals (e.g., apes), to human-level intelligence, and beyond); and Cohesive (the research must promote a unifying conception of (high) intelligence in its many aspects).

Please submit papers to the contact below.

Workshop: Roadmap and Future of AI

This year’s traditional final workshop will feature both invited talks and contributed papers and posters.  Submissions that discuss the future of AI and setting an AGI Roadmap are welcome.

Please submit papers to the contact below.

Demonstration: AGI Machines

Featuring AGI Machines and ‘robots’ from around the globe, this hands-on demonstration will show off the practical side of AGI.  No Power Point presentations allowed: only active machines.

The ability to look beyond what is learned and apply the learned information to new scenarios distinguishes humans and animals from AI artifacts. The goal of the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Community is to better understand these gaps.

AGI 2010 is pleased to offer an integrative demonstration track with an opportunity to evaluate the best and most flexible AI applications. We are also pleased to extend the paper deadline to allow researchers an opportunity to combine papers with the demonstrations to represent and explain their approaches in the best light.

Demonstrations should be either live computer simulations or physical demonstrations. Methods will be evaluated based on: (1) extent and coverage of learning compared to (2) the number of scenarios to which the methods are applicable. Discussions will follow to form a consensus on what constitutes the most promising strategies.

Demonstration application forms are attached and due on Feb 15, 2010. Please join the AGI community in our quest for general intelligence.

AGI-10 Expected Formatting

Potential speakers may submit either an extended abstract (1-2 pages) or a full paper (6-12 pages). Submissions should generally, but not strictly, follow the AAAI guidelines using one of the following templates (appreciation goes to AAAI for allowing us to use their docs as a guide):

AGI-10 Submissions Policy

Whether an accepted paper (of either length) will be presented as a talk or as a poster will be determined by the Program Committee, in part based on paper quality as assessed by the anonymous reviewers, and in part according to the extent the paper addresses a topic of core interest to the AGI community.

The acceptance of a paper is based on the assumption that one of the authors will attend the conference to present the paper. Any questions can be directed to one of the conference chairs.

AGI-10 Copyright Policy

Atlantis Press adheres to the creative commons policy which means they will only ask permission to publish the paper, but not the ownership, i.e. you will keep the copyright.
