<div class="">Dear All,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I would like to point out and solicit participation in two events that are being held as part of the upcoming (digital) European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020).</div>
<div class="">The events are:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>1. Tutorial on: “Cognitive Vision: On Deep Semantics for Explainable Visuospatial Computing”</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>2. Workshop on: “Artificial and Human Intelligence: Formal and Cognitive Foundations for Human-Centred Computing”</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Together, the two events focus on the theme of “<b class="">AI and Visuospatial Cognition</b>”, in particular showcasing applications of AI technologies in behavioural research, naturalistic studies in visual perception etc encompassing domains
such as media studies, architecture / built environment, autonomous vehicles, human-robot interaction.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We would also appreciate your help in further dissemination to interested colleagues in your respective networks.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>

<div class=""><b class="">Abstract / </b>The tutorial on cognitive vision addresses computational vision and perception at the interface of language, logic, cognition, and artificial intelligence. With a focus on explainable visual sensemaking of dynamic visuospatial
imagery, the tutorial demonstrates the integration of methods from AI and Vision with a focus on (combining) declarative reasoning \& learning about space, action, motion, and interaction. The tutorial is presented in the applied backdrop of areas as diverse
as autonomous driving, cognitive robotics, design (for visual art, architecture, visuoauditory digital media), and behavioural visual perception research in cognitive psychology. The tutorial positions an emerging line of interdisciplinary research bringing
together AI, Vision, Psychology, and Design.</div>

<div class=""><span class=""><i class="">Multimodal Rhetoric and Visuoauditory Media Studies: On the Role of Cognition and AI</i>: </span>Select talks and a dedicated focus group / session in the workshop will address multimodality in the social media space,
focussing on methodological issues related to computational cognitive vision, multimodal interaction, and visuospatial sensemaking as applicable in diverse contexts relevant to social sciences, (digital) humanities, and cognitive psychology. We particularly
address the role that AI can serve in these contexts and reflect on recently commenced / ongoing interdisciplinary initiatives in the EU addressing these questions. </div>
