WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
--------------------
In the last few years, there has been a great deal of interest and activity in
developing new approaches to learning for natural language processing. Various
learning methods have been used, including
- connectionist methods/neural networks
- machine learning algorithms
- hybrid symbolic and subsymbolic methods
- statistical techniques
- corpus-based approaches.
In general, learning methods are designed to support automated knowledge ac-
quisition, fault tolerance, plausible induction, and rule inferences. Using
learning methods for natural language processing is especially important be-
cause language learning is an enabling technology for many other language pro-
cessing problems, including noisy speech/language integration, machine trans-
lation, and information retrieval. Different methods support language learning
to various degrees but, in general, learning is important for building more
flexible, scalable, adaptable, and portable natural language systems.
This workshop is of interest particularly at this time because systems built by
learning methods have reached a level where they can be applied to real-world
problems in natural language processing and where they can be compared with
more traditional encoding methods. The workshop will bring together researchers
from the US/Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and other countries working on new
approaches to language learning.
The workshop will provide a forum for discussing various learning approaches
for supporting natural language processsing. In particular the workshop will
focus on questions like:
- How can we apply suitable existing learning methods for language processing?
- What new learning methods are needed for language processing and why?
- What language knowledge should be learned and why?
- What are similarities and differences between different approaches for
language learning? (e.g., machine learning algorithms vs neural networks)
- What are strengths and limitations of learning rather than manual encoding?
- How can learning and encoding be combined in symbolic/connectionist systems?
- Which aspects of system architectures and knowledge engineering have to
be considered? (e.g., modular, integrated, hybrid systems)
- What are successful applications of learning methods in various fields?
(speech/language integration, machine translation, information retrieval)
- How can we evaluate learning methods using real-world language?
(text, speech, dialogs, etc.)
WORKSHOP FORMAT
---------------
The workshop will provide a forum for the interactive exchange of ideas and
knowledge. Approximately 30-40 participants are expected and there will be time
for up to 15 presentations depending on the number and quality of paper contri-
butions received. Normal presentation length will be 15+5 minutes, leaving time
for direct questions after each talk. There may be a few invited talks of 25+5
minutes length. In addition to prepared talks, there will be time for moderat-
ed discussions after two related sessions. Furthermore, the moderated discus-
sions will provide an opportunity for an open exchange of comments, questions,
reactions, and opinions.
PUBLICATION

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The assumption underlying this workshop is that Cognitive Science (CS)
is in crisis. The crisis manifests itself, as exemplified by the
recent Buffalo summer institute, in a complete lack of consensus among
even the biggest names in the field on whether CS has or indeed should
have a clearly identifiable focus of study; the issue of identifying
this focus is a separate and more difficult one. Though academic
programs in CS have in general settled into a pattern compatible with
classical computationalist CS (Pylyshyn 1984, Von Eckardt 1993),
including the relegation from focal consideration of consciousness,
affect and social factors, two fronts have been opened on this
classical position.
The first front is well-publicised and highly visible. Both Searle
(1992) and Edelman (1992) refuse to grant any special status to
information-processing in explanation of mental process. In contrast,
they argue, we should focus on Neuroscience on the one hand and
Consciousness on the other. The other front is ultimately the more
compelling one. It consists of those researchers from inside CS who
are currently working on consciousness, affect and social factors and
do not see any incompatibility between this research and their vision
of CS, which is that of a Science of Mind (see Dennett 1993, O
Nuallain (in press) and Mc Kevitt and Partridge 1991, Mc Kevitt and Guo
1994).

WORKSHOP TOPICS:
The tension which riddles current CS can therefore be stated thus: CS,
which gained its initial capital by adopting the computational
metaphor, is being constrained by this metaphor as it attempts to
become an encompassing Science of Mind. Papers are invited for this
workshop which:
* Address the central tension
* Propose an overall framework for CS (as attempted, inter alia,
by O Nuallain (in press))
* Explicate the relations between the disciplines which comprise CS.
* Relate educational experiences in the field
* Describe research outside the framework of classical
computationalist CS in the context of an alternative framework
* Promote a single logico-mathematical formalism as a theory of
Mind (as attempted by Harmony theory)
* Disagree with the premise of the workshop
Other relevant topics include:
* Classical vs. neuroscience representations
* Consciousness vs. Non-consciousness
* Dictated vs. emergent behaviour
* A life/Computational intelligence/Genetic algorithms/Connectionism
* Holism and the move towards Zen integration
The workshop will focus on three themes:
* What is the domain of Cognitive Science ?
* Classic computationalism and its limitations
* Neuroscience and Consciousness
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
Our intention is to have as much discussion as possible during the
workshop and to stress panel sessions and discussion rather than
having formal paper presentations. The workshop will consist of
half-hour presentations, with 15 minutes for discussion at the end of
each presentation and other discussion sessions. A plenary session at
the end will attempt to resolve the themes emerging from the different
sessions.
ATTENDANCE:
We hope to have an attendance between 25-50 people at the workshop.
Given the urgency of the topic, we expect it to be of interest not
only to scientists in the AI/Cognitive Science (CS) area, but also to
those in other of the sciences of mind who are curious about CS.
We envisage researchers from Edinburgh, Leeds, York, Sheffield and Sussex
attending from within England and many overseas visitors as the
Conference Programme is looking very international.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
Papers of not more than 8 pages should be submitted by electronic mail
(preferably uuencoded compressed postscript) to Sean O Nuallain at the
E-mail address(es) given below. If you cannot submit your paper by
E-mail please submit three copies by snail mail.
* **Submission Deadline: February 13th 1995
* **Notification Date: February 25th 1995
* **Camera ready Copy: March 10th 1995
PUBLICATION:
Workshop notes/preprints will be published. If there is sufficient
interest we will publish a book on the workshop.

SHEFFIELD:
Sheffield is one of the friendliest cities in Britain and is situated
well having the best and closest surrounding countryside of any major
city in the UK. The Peak District National Park is only minutes
away. It is a good city for walkers, runners, and climbers. It has
two theatres, the Crucible and Lyceum. The Lyceum, a beautiful
Victorian theatre, has recently been renovated. Also, the city has
three 10 screen cinemas. There is a library theatre which shows more
artistic films. The city has a large number of museums many of which
demonstrate Sheffield's industrial past, and there are a number of
Galleries in the City, including the Mapping Gallery and Ruskin. A
number of important ancient houses are close to Sheffield such as
Chatsworth House. The Peak District National Park is a beautiful site
for visiting and rambling upon. There are large shopping areas in the
City and by 1995 Sheffield will be served by a 'supertram' system: the
line to the Meadowhall shopping and leisure complex is already open.
The University of Sheffield's Halls of Residence are situated on the
western side of the city in a leafy residential area described by John
Betjeman as ``the prettiest suburb in England''. Halifax Hall is
centred on a local Steel Baron's house, dating back to 1830 and set in
extensive grounds. It was acquired by the University in 1830 and
converted into a Hall of Residence for women with the addition of a
new wing.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT SHEFFIELD:
Sheffield Computer Science Department has a strong programme in
Cognitive Systems and is part of the University's Institute for
Language, Speech and Hearing (ILASH). ILASH has its own machines and
support staff, and academic staff attached to it from nine
departments. Sheffield Psychology Department has the Artificial
Intelligence Vision Research Unit (AIVRU) which was founded in 1984 to
coordinate a large industry/university Alvey research consortium
working on the development of computer vision systems for autonomous
vehicles and robot workstations. Sheffield Philosophy Department has
the Hang Seng Centre for Cognitive Studies, founded in 1992, which
runs a workshop/conference series on a two-year cycle on topics of
interdisciplinary interest. (1992-4: 'Theory of mind'; 1994- 6:
'Language and thought'.)

Subject: CFP: IJCAI95 Workshop On Reflection, Aug 95, Montreal
Date: 19 Dec 1994 18:11:51 GMT
IJCAI '95 Workshop
On Reflection and Meta-Level Architecture and
their Applications in AI
Background
-----------
Humans can think not only about the world around them but also
about their own actions, ideas and experiences. They have the
ability to step back from a principle activity and consider the
state of that activity and how it is being conducted. The process
by which people think about the thinking process itself is called
reflection or meta-level reasoning.
Serious efforts to implement computational reflection began in the
field of artificial intelligence, e.g., meta-rules, meta-scripts, etc.
Brian Smith was the first to introduce the concept of reflection
in programming languages. He developed 3-Lisp to prove the
feasibility of the concept. Meta-level reasoning has also
been researched in other fields such as theorem proving,
knowledge representation logic programming, and object-oriented
programming.
Given that the field of AI is still striving for new representational
and software engineering advances that can help developing its
complex systems and applications, it is natural to look for
reflection and meta-level architecture to provide the needed
mechanisms for structuring and programming complex,
adaptive systems.
Workshop focus and goals
------------------------
A one day workshop " On Reflection and Metalevel Architecture and
Their Applications in AI" will be held in conjunction with IJCAI '95,
Montreal, Canada, in which researchers from a broad range of
disciplines within AI can address related issues and share their
intuitions about the workshop topics. Also, with various sub-fields
of AI exploring the same topic (e.g., Logic programming, object-oriented
programming, theorem proving, etc.) it is our hope that holding this
workshop in conjunction with a broad conference like IJCAI could
span these different groups and bring together research that
would benefit from diverse perspectives.
Some of potential topics related to the workshop theme are
(but not limited to):
1) Theoretical foundation of Reflection
2) The Meta concept and its applicability for AI applications
3) Reflective AI languages and programming systems
4) Using reflection to integrate AI programming paradigms
5) Development of learning and adaptive systems based on
reflection
6) Reflective environments for distributed AI
7) Reflection and multi-agent systems
8) Reflection and knowledge level models
9) Multi-level reasoning
10)Meta-level theorem proving
The focus of the workshop will be on discussions and exchange of
ideas rather than presentations or mini conference forum.
Conclusions of the workshop should identify the techniques,
benefits, and drawbacks of using reflection and meta-level
architecture for developing AI applications. They should also
identify both desired and undesired aspects of these techniques that
are most relevant to AI.
Workshop recommendations will be based on the conclusions
reached and will suggest directions for shaping future research to
further advance the state-of-the-art of AI using the concepts and
techniques of reflection and meta-level architecture.
Submission and acceptance criteria
-----------------------------------
Interested participants must submit 5 copies of a full
position paper (not to exceed 10 single spaced pages) that
describes their work and addresses one or more of the issues
discussed above. The papers will be reviewed by the workshop
committee and acceptance will be based on the relevance of the
work to the workshop theme.
Attendance will be by invitation only based on the accepted
papers. For papers with multiple authors, invitation will be
issued only to the first two authors. We expect to issue no
more than 30 invitations. Accepted papers will be copied and
bound as IJCAI workshop proceedings and distributed to all
workshop attendees.
According to IJCAI rules, all workshop attendees must register for
the IJCAI '95 conference. In addition, there is a separate
workshop registration assessed at $50.00. Since it is
recommended to include the workshop registration with the
general IJCAI registration, we will make sure that the deadline for
notification of acceptance and/or rejection provides ample time for
pre-registration.
