##  ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

The Nordic Chapter of the Insitute on Artificial and Human Intelligence is held during November 1-7 2020 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The institute consists of an integrated school, panel, and doctoral colloquium  (primarily but not exclusively) aimed at early career doctoral researchers. Participants include professional academics / researchers, doctoral candidates and industry professionals, and research-driven students. The institute hosts an invited faculty delivering lectures, intensive tutorials, and keynotes; opportunities also exist for young researchers to position ongoing / early stage research, discuss, and network with institute faculty and participants.

/  LEARNING FORMAT   /

The faculty will be involved in presenting mutually synergistic Keynotes, Lectures, and Tutorials. Furthermore, a Panel Discussion is also planned to discuss the theme of:

>  “A Human-Centred Confluence: On bottom-up interdisciplinarity for the development of next generation human-centred AI technologies”


Course topics include:

—  Artificial Intelligence and Spatial Cognition
—  Declarative AI and Explainability
—  Knowledge Representation and Learning.
—  Combining Reasoning and Learning.
—  Multimodal Linguistics.  Brain and Behaviour.
—  Motion. Spatial Cognition.
—  Perception. Action. Vision.
—  Speech and Language. Visual Biofeedback.
—  Psychophysics. Biological Motion.
—  Visual Attention. Eye-Movements.
—  Visual Perception. Human Development.
—  Design Cognition and Computation.



##  CONFLUENCE  —  COGNITION.  AI.  INTERACTION.  DESIGN.

Research in Artificial and Human Intelligence aims to bring together and advance a novel & unique combination of research methodologies, academics and communities encompassing artificial intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology & human development, human-computer interaction, and design science. In addition to pursuing its core scientific agenda, this line of inquiry also creates a discussion point for the development of interdisciplinary research, projects, collaborations, and other international people-exchange initiatives addressing the Confluence of Cognition, AI, Interaction, and Design.


/  HUMAN-CENTRED AI & COGNITIVE TECHNOLOGIES  /

The Institute addresses the formal & cognitive foundations for human-centred computing (for AI), and the human-centred design, development, and usability of cognitive technologies aimed at human-in-the-loop assistance & empowerment in decision-making, planning, creative-technical problem-solving, and automation. We emphasise development of novel foundational methods for human-centred AI keeping in mind: interpretability, generality or domain-independence, elaboration tolerance, benchmarking, and re-usability.


/  MINDS.  EXPERIENCES.  TECHNOLOGIES  /

Of special interest is the design and development of artificial cognitive technologies where the human-centred modelling, interpretation, simulation, and synthesis of embodied cognitive experiences -e.g., encompassing multimodal perception and interaction- is critical.
