The DFG-funded research consortium “FOR 2812 – Constructing scenarios of the
past” <https://for2812.rub.de> https://for2812.rub.de is proud to announce
a call for papers for its first workshop on generative episodic memory.
Depending on the public health situation in February next year, the workshop
will be in-person, virtual or a hybrid event. We invite submissions for
talks and posters <https://easychair.org/cfp/gem2021> https://easychair.org/cfp/gem2021.
Episodic memories are widely regarded as memories of personally experienced
events. Early concepts about episodic memory were based on the storage
model, according to which experiential content is preserved in memory and
later retrieved. However, overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the
content of episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree – constructed
in the act of remembering. Even though very few contemporary researchers
would oppose this view of episodic memory as a generative process, it has
not become the standard paradigm of empirical memory research. This is
particularly true for studies of the neural correlates of episodic memory.
Further hindering progress are large conceptual differences regarding
episodic memory across different fields, such as neuroscience, philosophy,
and psychology. This interdisciplinary workshop therefore aims to bring
together researchers from all relevant fields to advance the state of the
art in the research on generative episodic memory.
FOR 2812 “Constructing scenarios of the past: A new framework in episodic
memory” consists of 9 researchers. Seven from the Ruhr University Bochum and
two from the University of Münster. The consortium adopts an
interdisciplinary approach and investigates generative episodic memory from
a conceptual, modeling, and experimental perspective using a common
conceptual framework: scenario construction.

We will be organizing a one-day workshop on mental effort within this year’s CogSci 2020 conference (see details below or in the attached document).
We would be grateful if you could forward our call for posters to your students, or anyone else who you think would be interested in attending the workshop.
Poster presentations will be available particularly for early career researchers.
Submission of 250 word abstract: June 29, 2020
Decision of acceptance: July 6, 2020
Workshop: July 29, 2020
======= Call for abstracts =======
Are you working on a project or thesis related to mental effort and want to discuss your ideas? If so, we are inviting you to present a poster during our virtual poster session.
To apply, please submit a 250 word abstract as PDF to mentaleffort2020@gmail.com<mailto:mentaleffort2020@gmail.com>. Your submission title should follow the format “LastName_poster.pdf”.
Conference registration fees are being offered at substantially reduced rates and the Cognitive Science Society is offering free membership.
For more information about the CogSci virtual poster format see: https://cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci-virtual/
======= Scope and Goal of the Workshop =======
We can all feel exhausted after a day of work, even if we have spent it sitting at a desk. The intuitive concept of mental effort pervades virtually all domains of human information processing and has become an indispensable ingredient for general theories of cognition. However, inconsistent use of the term across cognitive sciences, including cognitive psychology, education, human-factors engineering and artificial intelligence, makes it one of the least well-defined theoretical constructs across fields.
A number of recent approaches lay the foundation for a consensus by offering formal accounts of mental effort. Yet, reaching a multifield-wide consensus on the operationalization of mental effort will require cross-talk between different empirical and computational approaches, including symbolic architectures, non-parametric Bayesian statistics and neural networks. The purpose of this full-day workshop is to review and integrate these emerging perspectives. To achieve this goal, we invited experts in these fields to present an accessible summary of their research, and allocate ample time for dialogue and audience participation across two panel discussions and a poster session. Key questions of discussion will include (but are not limited to):
* What are the experimental phenomena that lay a foundation for theories of mental effort?
* What is the common ground in operationalizing mental effort across different domains of cognitive science?
* Which modeling approach(es) is (are) best suited to answer which questions regarding mental effort?
The workshop is specifically designed to attract scholars with expertise in different modeling frameworks who seek to expand their interest to other methodologies.

Computational Creativity (or CC) is a discipline with its roots in
Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, Design, Psychology
and Philosophy that explores the potential for computers to be autonomous
creators in their own right. ICCC is an annual conference that welcomes
papers on different aspects of CC, on systems that exhibit varying degrees
of creative autonomy, on frameworks that offer greater clarity or
computational felicity for thinking about machine (and human) creativity,
on methodologies for building or evaluating CC systems, on approaches to
teaching CC in schools and universities or to promoting societal uptake of
CC as a field and as a technology, and so on.
**** Themes and Topics ****
Original research contributions are solicited in all areas related to
Computational Creativity research and practice, including, but not limited
to:
– Applications that address creativity in specific domains such as music,
language, narrative, poetry, games, visual arts, graphic design, product
design, architecture, entertainment, education, mathematical invention,
scientific discovery, and programming.
– Applications and frameworks that allow for co-creativity between humans
and machines, in which the machine is more than a mere tool and takes on
significant creative responsibility for itself.
– Metrics, frameworks, formalisms and methodologies for the evaluation of
creativity in computational systems, and for the evaluation of how systems
are perceived in society.
– Syntheses of AI/CC treatments of very different genres or domains of
creativity (e.g. art and science, humour and mathematics, language and
image, etc.)
– Computational paradigms for understanding creativity, including heuristic
search, analogical and meta-level reasoning, and representation.
– Resource development and data gathering/knowledge curation for creative
systems, especially resources and data collections that are scalable,
extensible and freely available as open-source materials.
– Ethical considerations in the design, deployment or testing of CC
systems, as well as studies that explore the societal impact of CC systems.
– Cognitive and psychological computational models of creativity, and their
relation with existing cognitive architectures and psychological accounts
– Innovation, improvisation, virtuosity and related pursuits investigating
the production of novel experiences and artefacts within a CC context.
– Computational accounts of factors that enhance creativity, including
emotion, surprise(unexpectedness), reflection, conflict, diversity,
motivation, knowledge, intuition, reward structures.
– Computational models of social aspects of creativity, including the
relationship between individual and social creativity, diffusion of ideas,
collaboration and creativity, formation of creative teams, and creativity
in social settings.
– Perspectives on computational creativity which draw from philosophical
and/or sociological studies in a context of creative intelligent systems.
– Computational creativity in the cloud, including how web services can be
used to foster unexpected creative behaviour in computational systems.
– Big data approaches to computational creativity.
– Debate papers that raise new issues or reopen seemingly settled ones.
Provocations that question the foundations of the discipline or throw new
light on old work are also welcome.
Papers on computational paradigms of all kinds – from symbolic to
statistical to deep learning models, as well as hybrid approaches – are
welcome, provided they address pertinent aspects of CC as sketched above.
**** Paper Types ****
We welcome the submission of five different types of papers: Technical
papers, System or Resource description papers, Study papers, Cultural
application papers and Position papers.
**** Important Dates ****
Submissions due: March 8, 2020
Acceptance notification: April 20, 2020

Einladung zur Ausstellung «Wie wir die Welt sehen» – 07.02. – 13.03.2020 – Bochum
Liebe Mitglieder der Gesellschaft für Kognitionswissenschaft,
vom 07.02. – 13.03.2020 findet in Bochum die Ausstellung „Wie wir die Welt sehen – Philosophie und Kognition“ statt, zu der wir herzlich einladen! Anhand von spannenden Illusionen zum Betrachten, Anfassen und Ausprobieren nehmen wir die BesucherInnen mit auf eine Reise durch die Geheimnisse unserer Wahrnehmung. Flankiert werden alle Ausstellungsobjekte von Erklärungen und Hinweisen zur theoretischen Bedeutung. PC-Stationen mit Videos und Animationen nebst ausführlicher philosophischer Erläuterungen ergänzen die Exponate. „Nehmen wir die Welt so wahr, wie sie ist oder konstruieren unsere Gehirne sie, wie wir sie sehen wollen?“ – unter dieser Leitfrage steht die gesamte Ausstellung. Mit unserer Auswahl an Illusionen und Wahrnehmungseffekten möchten wir einen Anstoß geben, über diese Frage nachzudenken.
Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei der Ausstellung zu begrüßen. Die Ausstellung ist offen für alle Besucher – sagen Sie also Ihren interessierten Kommilitonen, Freunden und Verwandten Bescheid! Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter: www.wie-wir-die-welt-sehen.de <http://www.wie-wir-die-welt-sehen.de/>
Für Sie als KollegInnen und Kollegen kann es auch als ein Beispiel für den immer mehr von der DFG eingeforderten „Outreach“ dienen, den wir im Kontext der Erhöhung der Aufmerksamkeit für Kognitionswissenschaften generell fördern möchten, insbesondere von Seiten der Gesellschaft für Kognitionswissenschaften.
Die Eröffnungsveranstaltung der Ausstellung „Wie wir die Welt sehen” findet im Blue Square am Freitag, den 7. Februar 2020 um 15:15 Uhr statt. Um schriftliche Anmeldung an sekretariat-newen@rub.de <mailto:sekretariat-newen@rub.de> wird gebeten.
Viele Grüße
Albert Newen und Nicolas Lindner
