Representation and Reality: Humans, Animals and Machines
Workshop at UNILOG 2015, 5th World Congress and School of Universal Logic, Istanbul Turkey, June 20-30, 2015
OVERVIEW:
Our workshop could be considered as the continuation of a part of the symposium “Computing Nature” organized by Gordana Dodig–Crnkovic and Raffaela Giovagnoli in the AISB/IACAP World Congress 2012 and “Representation of Reality: Humans, Animals and Machines” in the AISB50 Convention at Goldsmith 2014. We would like to offer a further occasion to discuss the problem of “representation” in humans, other animals and machines. It is closely related to the question what capacities can be plausibly computed and what are the most promising approaches that try to solve the problem.
CALL FOR PAPERS:
We aim to discuss the following interesting topics related to the problem of representation:
(1) The point of view of connectionism and dynamical systems (Scheutz, Clark, Juarrero, Kaneko and Tsuda, O’Brien, Horgan, Trenholme) namely the different proposals about the possibility to rule out representation.… read more. “Call: Representation and Reality: Humans, Animals and Machines (UNLOG 2015 Workshop)”
