Workshop 02

09.00 AM – 05.00 PM

NARS Tutorial & Workshop

AGI-oriented NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System) has been attracting increasing interest from researchers and students from around the world. The workshop will start with guest speaker’s presentations about projects related to NARS and a tutorial that introduces the conceptual design and current implementations of NARS. The workshop will conclude with a General Discussion focusing on future research.

For schedule and details, please see the workshop website.

Workshop 03

09.00 AM – 01.00 PM

Interpretable Natural Language Processing (INLP)

This workshop is centered around the idea of INLP, an extension of the interpretable AI (IAI) concept to NLP; INLP allows for acquisition of natural language, comprehension of textual communications, and production of textual messages in a reasonable and transparent way. The proposed presentations regarding Link Grammar (LG), unsupervised LG learning, interpretable NLG/NLS, and sentiment mining/topic matching cover various INLP methods that may bring a greater degree of GCI to proto-AGI pipelines.
