Neural Computation workshop as part of "Unconventional Computation: Quo Vadis?" workshop.
Unconventional computation is an interdisciplinary research area with the main goal to enrich or go beyond the standard models, such as the von Neumann computer architecture and the Turing machine, which have dominated computer science for more then half a century. This quest, in both theoretical and practical dimensions, is motivated by the huge gap between information processing in nature and in artifacts and by the hope that certain challenges that computational sciences face today might be tackled efficiently by alternative paradigms. For example, developments in synthetic biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, or optics, show that complex computations are omnipresent in physical systems, but that they cannot always be easily described or reproduced in the context of standard computing models. Given a physical, biological, or chemical system, the question is whether such a system computes, and if yes, then what and how? What are the limits and characteristics of such a computation? and how could we "exploit" and "program" the system to perform a specific task in an efficient manner? The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a multidisciplinary core of scientists who work in the broad field of unconventional computation, to highlight state-of-the-art research in each subfield, to focus on the above-mentioned questions, and to delineate promising future research directions. Both theoretical and experimental contributions will be covered to further the dialog and to foster collaborations. Particular light will be shed on the capability of unconventional computers to solve large-scale real world problems and to eventually outperform classical paradigms. The workshop shall help to further what is generally considered unconventional today into something conventional tomorrow.

Workshop : "BCI Meets HCI".
A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a novel augmentative communication system that translates human intentions -- reflected by suitable brain signals -- into a control signal for an output device such as a computer application or a neuroprosthesis. Work in the field has tended to be dominated by the challenge of deriving useful input signals to the computer from the complex sensor data, and in training users how to use such devices, and progress has been made to the point at which some BCI systems can be used with relatively little training. The interaction aspects of such systems have, however, often played a secondary role to the technical challenges of sensor interpretation. This workshop is intended to bring researchers from the broader HCI community together with researchers in the BCI community, to discuss how lessons learned in modern HCI research can improve BCI interfaces, and also how the challenges faced in BCI (e.g., low-bit rates, inherently noisy sensing, no proprioceptive feedback, potentially dangerous control actions) can stimulate a rethink of some core elements of HCI.

Interactivist Summer Institute 2007.
The interactivist model offers a theoretical approach to matters of life and mind, ranging from evolutionary- and neuro-biology (including the emergence of biological function) through representation, perception, motivation, memory, learning and development, emotions, consciousness, language, rationality, sociality, personality and psychopathology. This work has developed interfaces with studies of central nervous system functioning, the ontology of process, autonomous agents, philosophy of science, and all areas of psychology, philosophy, and cognitive science that address the person. The conference will involve both tutorials addressing central parts and aspects of the interactive model, and papers addressing current work of relevance to this general approach. We will also have a special theme afternoon focusing on Value Systems and the Development of Higher Order Motivation. This will be our fourth Summer Institute; the first was in 2001 at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA, the second in 2003 in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the third in 2005 at Clemson University, South Carolina, USA. The Summer Institute is a biennial meeting where those sharing the core ideas of interactivism will meet and discuss their work, try to reconstruct its historical roots, put forward current research in different fields that fits the interactivist framework, and define research topics for prospective graduate students. People working in philosophy of mind, linguistics, social sciences, artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, theoretical biology, and other fields related to the sciences of mind are invited to send their paper submission or statement of interest for participation to the organizers.

ASMDA 2007 The 12th International Conference on Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis.
During the last decade, significant advances have been made in the theory and practice of supervised classification, kernel machines as a prime example. They have deeply changed the way classification problems are tackled and generated many new approaches. It is especially the case for multi-category classification, which comes out as an independent field of research. The object of this special session is to collect contributions in the different domains of supervised classification with neural networks and kernel machines: bounds on the risk, feature selection methods, training algorithms and model selection methods. Efficient implementations of known inductive principles or complex kernel methods, are also welcome. Of particular interest will be contributions dedicated to multi-category classification.

SATELLITE WORKSHOP The method of computational modelling: A practical introduction.
Computational models involve abstract, mathematical concepts. The results of these models are often not intuitive and, therefore, are not easily accessible. One way of tackling this issue is to provide people with hands-on experience with model simulations. This one-day workshop aims to provide this practical experience together with a theoretical introduction to computational models. The workshop will be organised in two parts. In the first part (morning) participants will receive a general theoretical introduction to computer models and a brief summary of the state-of-the-art with respect to modelling in cognitive psychology. The introduction will be given by internationally renowned researchers in the area. The second part (afternoon) will take place in a laboratory-based setting where attendees can interact with computer implementations of models covered in the first part. The attendees will be asked to follow set exercises in which they modify several properties of computer models, e.g. network structures, parameters or input-output relationships, etc. These exercises will allow the attendees to observe the consequences of their modifications and thereby gain a better understanding of the inner workings of computational models.

Graduate Summer School: Probabilistic Models of Cognition: The Mathematics of Mind.
Introduction - "Probabilistic Models of Cognition: The Mathematics of Mind" will involve leaders from Cognitive Science and experts from Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, who are interested in making bridges to Cognitive Science. The goal is to develop a common mathematical framework for all aspects of cognition, and review how it explains empirical phenomena in the major areas of cognitive science - including vision, memory, reasoning, learning, planning, and language. The summer school is motivated by recent advances which offer the promise of modeling human cognition mathematically. These advances have occurred largely because the mathematical and computational tools developed for designing artificial systems are beginning to make an impact on theoretical and empirical work in Cognitive Science. In turn, Cognitive Science offers an enormous range of complex problems which challenge and test these theories.

Nonlinear Dynamics in Movement and Cognitive Science - International Summer School.
The 6-day summer school is intended to provide graduate students and researchers in the fields of behavioral neuroscience and life sciences an exposure to the theory and applications of nonlinear dynamics. In contrast to traditional summer schools in nonlinear dynamics, our school merges theory and experiment in a hands-on manner. During the first few days the participants will be instructed in the theory of low-dimensional dynamic systems with a focus on modeling. In parallel, they will apply their new-found skills in the computational laboratories to develop an intuition for nonlinear concepts. In the second half of the school, various lecturers will provide introductions to the modeling of nonlinear phenomena in movement sciences and cognitive neurosciences. In parallel these phenomena will be experimentally explored in the Movement & Perception laboratories through data collection and analysis. The primary learning objective of our summer school is to gain hands-on insight into the principles of nonlinear dynamics and their transfer to life sciences.

MDA´2007 Intern. Conference on Mass-Data Analysis of Images and Signals in Medicine, Biotechnology and Chemistry.
The automatic analysis of images and signals in medicine, biotechnology, and chemistry is a challenging and demanding field. Signal-producing procedures by microscopes, spectrometers and other sensors have found their way into wide fields of medicine, biotechnology, economy and environmental analysis. With this arises the problem of the automatic mass analysis of signal information. Signal-interpreting systems which generate automatically the desired target statements from the signals are therefore of compelling necessity. The continuation of mass analyses on the basis of the classical procedures leads to investments of proportions that are not feasible. New procedures and system architectures are therefore required. The scope of conference is to bring together researcher, practicioners and industry people who are dealing with mass analysis of images and signals to present and discuss recent research in these fields. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Techniques and developments of signal and image producing procedures Object matching and object tracking in microscopic and video microscopic images 1D, 2D and 3D shape analysis and description 1D, 2D and 3D feature extraction of texture, structure and location Algorithms for 1D, 2D and 3D signal analysis and interpretation Image segmentation algorithms Parallelization of image analysis and interpretation algorithms Semantic tagging of microscopic images Applications in medicine, biotechnology, chemistry and others Applications in crystallography Applications in proteomics Applications in 2D and 3D cell images analysis Image Acquisition procedures for mass data analysis

GOALS and FORMAT: There is a deficiency in the exchange of ideas between theoretical physicists and experimental biologists. This arises from different background knowledge bases and viewpoints, even when addressing the same problem. The aim of the FIAS Summer School on Theoretical Neuroscience and Complex Systems is to provide a bridge linking experimentalists and theorists. The school also addresses the challenge of further developing theoretical concepts and transferring them into the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience. The success of this will be dependent on the training of students that can bridge the different fields.

PASCAL Workshop on Practical Inference Methods for Mechanistic Modelling of Biological Systems.
SCOPE: Within the context of Systems Biology there is a growing requirement for the development of mechanistic models to support reasoning about the structures of biochemical pathways. In addition to defining such models, a means of objectively assessing the validity of competing hypotheses regarding pathway structures based on experimental data and prior knowledge is essential. As the models themselves will have been identified from experimental observations for which there is significant variability it is advisable to adopt a consistent grammar for scientific reasoning that will take account of this uncertainty. The Bayesian perspective is highly appropriate to enable consistent reasoning over mechanistic models of biological systems. However, given the intractable nature of the integrals required for an analytical Bayesian solution we are required to turn to Markov chain Monte Carlo or other approximating techniques to perform system identification and model-based reasoning. Practical solutions to these problems are critical to the utility and realism of systems biology models. The goal of this workshop will be to explore the main methodological and technical issues associated with performing Bayesian inference over mechanistic biochemical pathway models. It will bring together experts in systems biology, statistical inference and machine learning through the PASCAL network.

Epigenetic Robotics 2007 Seventh International Conference on Epigenetic Robotics: Modeling Cognitive Development in Robotic Systems.
In the past 6 years, the Epigenetic Robotics annual conference has established itself as a unique place where original interdisciplinary research from developmental sciences, neuroscience, biology, cognitive robotics, and artificial intelligence is being presented.
Epigenetic systems, either natural or artificial, share a prolonged developmental process through which varied and complex cognitive and perceptual structures emerge as a result of the interaction of an embodied system with a physical and social environment.
Epigenetic robotics has goals including: (1) understanding biological systems by the interdisciplinary integration of social and engineering sciences and (2) enabling robots and other artificial systems to autonomously develop skills for new environments (instead of programming them to solve problems in fixed environments).
Psychological theory and empirical evidence is being used to inform epigenetic robotic models, and these models can be used as theoretical tools to make experimental predictions in developmental psychology.
Epigenetic Robotics themes include, but are not limited to:
* The development of emotion, imitation, synchrony processing, intersubjectivity, joint attention, intentionality, non-verbal and verbal communication, sensorimotor schemata, shared meaning and symbolic reference, social learning, social relationships, social cognition ("mind reading", "theory of mind");
* The scope and limits of maturation, the mechanisms of open-ended development;
* The mechanisms of stage formation and stage transitions;
* The epistemological foundations of using robots to study development;
* The role of motivations, emotions, and value systems in development;
* Interaction between innate structure, ongoing developing structure, and experience;
* The interplay between embodiment, learning biases and environment;
* The differences between learning and development;
* Algorithms for self-supervision, autonomous exploration, representation making, and methods for evolving new representations during ontogeny;
* Using robots as theoretical tools (e.g., to make predictions) in experiments with children;
* Using robots in applied settings (e.g., autism therapy) with children;
* Architectures for autonomous development;
* Robots that can undergo morphological changes and how they can be used to study the interplay between cognitive and morphological development;

Workshop: Approximate Bayesian Inference in Continuous/Hybrid Models AT NIPS'07.
The workshop will provide a forum to discuss unsolved issues, both practical and theoretical, pertaining to the application of approximate Bayesian inference in continuous variable and hybrid models. The emphasis of the workshop will be in understanding the particular difficulties in this class of models and the differential strengths and weaknesses of available deterministic (variational) approximation techniques, as opposed to the arguably better understood field of approximate inference in discrete variable systems. The target audience are practitioners, providing insight into and analysis of problems with certain methods or comparative studies of several methods, as well as theoreticians interested in characterizing the hardness of continuous distributions or proving relevant properties of an established method. We welcome contributions in the areas of Statistics (e.g. Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods), Information Geometry, Optimal Filtering, or other related fields if an effort is made of bridging the gap towards variational techniques.

Workshop on Statistical models of networks at NIPS'07.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together people from different disciplines - computer science, statistics, biology, physics, social science, etc - to discuss foundational issues in the modeling of network and relational data. In particular, we hope to discuss various open research issues, such as - How to represent graphs at varying levels of abstraction, whose topology is potentially condition-specific and time-varying - How to combine techniques from the graphical model structure learning community with techniques from the statistical network modeling community - How to integrate relational data with other kinds of data (e.g., gene expression or text data)
