This workshop is organized as a joint event with ALIFE’2018 Conference to be held in Tokyo, Japan, July 23-27, 2018.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in developmental learning and bio-inspired approaches for artificial cognitive systems and practitioners from digital industries, robotics and Ambient Intelligence systems, to exchange their knowledge and experiences regarding the question of building representations in human-robots and Ambient Intelligence Systems. The workshop’s aim is also to cross fertilize the exchanges between participants from different disciplines and sectors, around the progress of the state of the art in foundational theories and their potential transfer and deployment in applications in real world settings, with robots and Ambient Intelligence Systems. A particular attention will be given to steer the program towards bridging the gap between theory and practice. This event will be backed by the ANR Labcom project Behaviors.ai (Project of a joint laboratory between the LIRIS-CNRS laboratory and the Hoomano company). The aim of Behaviors.ai is to investigate new approaches of artificial intelligence, and more precisely developmental learning, to create new ways to interact with social robots to make them more empathetic and able to continuously learn as they interact in “real life” environments.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions from both academia and Industry are welcome as far as the submitted content is relevant to the topic of the workshop. Research papers, experience reporting, position papers or demonstrations will all be considered by the scientific committee. Submission format follows the guidelines of ALIFE 2018 Conference (http://2018.alife.org/submission/).
Please note that submission link for the workshop is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=devl-hr-ai-2018
For each category of the above mentioned submissions, it is possible to either submit an abstract (2-page length limit) or a more detailed version (8-page length limit).
- Research, application or position papers, related to one of the mentioned topics or other topics related to the general theme of the workshop and reporting either ongoing research or more advanced research. Position papers aims to contribute to discussions on the challenges of the workshop topic.
- Industrial papers reporting successful experiences or challenging ongoing developments related to the workshop topic are particularly welcome and could be in either short format (2-page length limit) or long format (8-page length limit).
- Demonstrations related to one of the mentioned topics or other topics related to the general theme of the workshop, are also very welcome. A demonstration submission is limited to 6-page length, with a description of the addressed problem and the objectives of the demonstration, the demonstrated scenario and the main observations or results shown by the demonstration. A link to a video of the demo is appreciated.
Each submission should be uploaded as a single file, in PDF format only, to the Easy Chair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=devl-hr-ai-2018. All submissions will undergo a detailed peer review process. Full papers will be reviewed for relevance, scientific quality, sound methodology and use of appropriate analysis techniques. Abstracts will be reviewed for relevance and quality. Both papers and extended abstracts will be considered for oral presentation, without distinction between full papers and extended abstracts. Accepted papers and extended abstracts will be combined in the workshop proceedings.
NOTE: At least one author of every accepted paper must be registered to the conference.
