IWCIA 08 - 12th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis.
Image analysis is a scientific discipline providing theoretical foundations and methods for solving problems appearing in a wide range of areas, as diverse as medicine, robotics, defense, and security. As a rule, the processed data are discrete; therefore, the "discrete approach" to image analysis appears to be a natural one and has an increasing importance. It is based on studying combinatorial properties of the considered digital data sets. Combinatorial image analysis often features various advantages (in terms of efficiency and accuracy) over the more traditional approaches based on continuous models requiring numeric computation. The scientific program of the workshop will consist of keynote addresses, contributed papers presented in a single track, and posters.

ABiALS 2008 - The fourth workshop on Anticipatory Behavior in Adaptive Learning Systems.
Objectives
----------
ABiALS is an interdisciplinary workshop investigating the influence of
anticipations on behavior and learning. ABiALS is designed to help
investigate how anticipations can influence, initiate, and guide behavior
and learning as well as how anticipatory influences can be implemented in an
adaptive learning system.
In ABiALS 2008, expertise of researchers from various disciplines including
neuroscience, cognitive psychology, machine learning, artificial
intelligence, control, and vision research are combined to shed further
light on the concept of anticipation. Essentially, it is investigated how
knowledge about the future influences actual behavior, including influences
on attention, action decision making and control, as well as (behavioral and
model) learning.

Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop.
The summer school will take place in the small town of Telluride, 9000 feet high in Southwest Colorado, about 6 hours drive away from Denver (350miles). Great Lakes Aviation and America West Express airlines provide daily flights directly into Telluride. All facilities within the beautifully renovated public school building are fully accessible to participants with disabilities. Participants will be housed in ski condominiums, within walking distance of the school. Participants are expected to share condominiums. The workshop is intended to be very informal and hands-on. Participants are not required to have had previous experience in analog VLSI circuit design, computational or machine vision, systems level neurophysiology or modeling the brain at the systems level. However, we strongly encourage active researchers with relevant backgrounds from academia, industry and national laboratories to apply, in particular if they are prepared to work on specific projects, talk about their own work or bring demonstrations to Telluride (e.g. robots, chips, software). Internet access will be provided. Technical staff present throughout the workshops will assist with software and hardware issues. We will have a network of PCs running LINUX and Microsoft Windows for the workshop projects. We also plan to provide wireless internet access and encourage participants to bring along their personal laptop.

COLING-2008 Workshop: KRAQ08: Knowledge and Reasoning for Answering Questions.
We invite papers on any research topic related to question answering and reasoning. In this call we especially focus on:
1. Reasoning aspects: information fusion-integration, summarization and intensional answers, detecting and resolving query failure, reasoning under uncertainty or with incomplete knowledge, probabilistic inference, models for explanation production and argumentation, levels of knowledge involved (e.g. ontologies, domain knowledge).
2. Textual inference: question decomposition into candidate inference components, information alignment, entity linking within and across documents, entailment and paraphrasing.
3. Innovative applications: multimedia question answering, where you question a more or less formal representation of the media objects, spoken question answering (increasing uncertainty caused by the speech recognition), question answering of semi-structured documents such as Wikipedia and legislation, XML question answering.
We also welcome papers on more traditional QA topics such as:
* Question typology and knowledge representation, pragmatic and linguistic paradigms: procedural questions (how), causal questions (why), opinion questions, questions with a complex structure.
* Pragmatic dimensions of intelligently answering questions: user intentions, plans and goals recognition and production, conversational implicatures in responses, principles for the design of cooperative systems.
* Language processing: question processing: parameters of interest for response production, semantic role detection for QA, reasoning with lexical resources, response production (planning and argumentation), language generation (e.g. lexical choice, templates), explanation production (showing sources and inferences, reporting data incompleteness, etc.).
* Evaluation: end-to-end evaluation of complex question types, intrinsic evaluation of inference methods, data-intensive vs knowledge-intensive methods, evaluation of portability.

EPSRC Workshop on Computational Neuroscience.
Computational Neuroscience requires various aspects of modern applied mathematics, together with the direct use of experimental data and design. The systems or theoretical approach in Neuroscience plays an important role and it is fully demonstrated in the wide applications of the Hodgkin-Huxley model (a PDE or a multi-compartment model with thousands of ODEs). Indeed, up to this day, Systems Neuroscience is one of the best examples of Systems Biology. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of research on the modeling of intracellular activities, single cell activity and biophysically realistic neuronal networks, and on the integration over different scales. The applications of abstract and simplified models such as the integrate-and-fire model have also become an active area of research. A related exciting field is the analysis of experimental data including multi-electrode data (local-field-potential and spike data), image data and related ohmic data. Aim: The aim of this workshop is to bring scientists (both theoreticians and experimentalists) together to exchange ideas and identify key areas of future research, in particular to promote the development of new analytical, computational and experimental tools for the successful resolution of current problems in the field.

Workshop for Women in Machine Learning Co-located with NIPS.
Machine learning is one of the fastest growing areas of computer science research. Search engines, face recognition, DNA sequence analysis, speech and handwriting recognition, credit card fraud detection, premature baby monitoring and autonomous locomotion are just some of the applications in which machine learning is routinely used. In spite of the wide reach of machine learning and the variety of theory and applications it covers, the percentage of female researchers is lower than in many other areas of computer science. Most women working in machine learning rarely get the chance to interact with other female researchers, making it easy to feel isolated and hard to find role models. This day-long workshop gives female faculty, research scientists, and graduate students in the machine learning community an opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and learn from each other. Underrepresented minorities and undergraduates interested in pursuing machine learning research are encouraged to participate.
