AAAI 2016 - AAAI-16 Special Track on Cognitive Systems

In an attempt to return to the original goals of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, this special track invites papers in human-level intelligence, integrated cognition, cognitive architectures, and related areas that aim to explain intelligence in computational terms and reproduce a range of human cognitive abilities in computational artifacts. Critically, the track will focus on cognitive capabilities "in the context of complete artificial cognitive systems," hence papers on individual component algorithms will only be accepted if they discuss these algorithms and their functions in conjunction with the rest of the integrated artificial cognitive system. Possible topics include the following, as well as other related integrated cognitive functions and issues:
Conceptual inference and reasoning
Efficiency and real-time performance
Introspection and meta-cognition
Learning and knowledge capture
Memory storage and retrieval
Methods of integration
Motivation and emotion
Natural language understanding and dialogue
Perception, imagery and motor control
Problem solving and decision making
Social cognition and interaction
