Call for Papers: AGI−14

Aug. 1–4 2014, Quebec City


https://agi-conf.org/2014

The seventh annual conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI−14) will take place in Quebec City, August 1–4.  AGI−14 will be co-located with and immediately after AAAI−14 and CogSci 2014.

The AGI conference series is the premier international event aimed at advancing the state of knowledge regarding the original goal of the AI field — the creation of thinking machines with general intelligence at the human level and possibly beyond.   

Information on the previous AGI conferences may be found here.

Keynote speakers:

  • Yoshua Bengio, University of Montreal: Deep Learning for AI
  • Alexander Wisner-Gross, Harvard & MIT: The Thermodynamics of AGI

Papers:
As in prior AGI conferences, we welcome contributed papers on all aspects of AGI R&D, with the key proviso that each paper should somehow contribute specifically to the development of Artificial General Intelligence.

The proceedings of AGI-14 will be published as a book in Springer’s Lecture Notes in AI series, and all the accepted papers will be available online. Papers must be written in either LaTeX (preferred) [template] or Word [2007 template][2003 template].  Two types of papers will be accepted:

  • Regular papers, with a length limit of 10 pages, presenting new research results or rigorously describing new research ideas
  • Short technical communications, with a limit of 4 pages, summarizing results and ideas of interest to the AGI audience, including reports about recent publications, position papers, and preliminary results.

The submission deadline was originally March 15, 2014 , but has been extended till April 1.  The EasyChair submission page is now open.

Appropriate topics for contributed papers include, but are not restricted to:

  • Agent Architectures
  • Autonomy
  • Benchmarks and Evaluation
  • Cognitive Modeling
  • Collaborative Intelligence
  • Creativity
  • Distributed AI
  • Formal Models of General Intelligence
  • Implications of AGI for Society, Economy and Ecology
  • Integration of Different Capabilities
  • Knowledge Representation for General Intelligence
  • Languages, Specification Approaches and Toolkits
  • Learning, and Learning Theory
  • Motivation, Emotion and Affect
  • Multi-Agent Interaction
  • Natural Language Understanding
  • Neural-Symbolic Processing
  • Perception and Perceptual Modeling
  • Philosophy of AGI
  • Reasoning, Inference and Planning
  • Reinforcement Learning
  • Robotic and Virtual Embodiment
  • Simulation and Emergent Behavior
  • Solomonoff Induction

Workshops and Tutorials:
AGI-14 will include a Workshop on AGI & Cognitive Science.   Additional workshops and tutorials will be determined during the coming months.

If you wish to propose a tutorial or a workshop in relation with Artificial General Intelligence, please email a brief proposal to Conference Chair Ben Goertzel (ben AT goertzel DOT org), or Program Committee Chairs Laurent Orseau or Javier Snaider.
