Second International Conference on Biologically Inspired Cognitive
Architectures
The challenge of creating a real-life computational equivalent of the human
mind calls for our joint efforts to better understand at a computational
level how natural intelligent systems develop their cognitive and learning
functions. The focus of BICA 2011 includes:
- - BICA models of robust learning mechanisms;
⁃ models of perception, cognition and action;
⁃ emotional and social intelligence in artifacts;
⁃ vital constraints informed by neuroscience,
⁃ human-like episodic and semantic memory;
⁃ metacognition, human-like self-regulated learning, bootstrapped and
meta-learning;
⁃ language acquisition and symbol grounding;
⁃ the “critical mass” for cognitive growth in a learning environment,
scalability of learning;
⁃ the roadmap to solving the challenge
- (see also the tab Program).
