AGI-19: Shenzhen, China August 6-9, 2019

Each year the AGI conference bestows prizes for exceptional contributions to the AGI field. Since the conference schedule was very full this year, we will again announce prizes after the conference conclusion.

We have four prizes this year Kurzweil Prize for Best AGI Paper ($1250), Springer Best Paper Award (€1000), Kurzweil Prize for Best AGI Idea ($1000) and OpenCog Foundation Prize for Best Student Paper ($250).

And the winners are:

Kurzweil Prize for Best AGI Paper: “Extending MicroPsi’s Model of Motivation and Emotion for Conversational Agents” 

Springer Best Paper Award: “Cognitive Module Networks for Grounded Reasoning”

Kurzweil Prize for Best AGI Idea: Arthur Franz’s “Toward an efficient AIXI approximation given the properties of our universe”

OpenCog Foundation Prize for Best Student Paper: “Adaptive Neuro-Symbolic Network Agent”

The winners will be contacted via email and the prize distribution will be coordinated over that email chain by Matthew Ikle.
