Symposia
|
- fMRI analysis and modeling
- Organizer:
|
Zhong-Lin Lu, University of Southern California |
|
- Abstract:
|
Functional MRI has become one of the major tools in studying the brain mechanisms of human behavior. The detailed and enormous amount of data from fMRI experiments present both challenges and opportunities for quantitative analysis and modeling. This symposium will consist of a brief introduction to fMRI, followed by a series of talks on the state of the art data analysis/modeling techniques and applications. |
|
- Speakers:
|
Bob Dougherty, John S. George, James Haxby, Zhong-Lin Lu, John Serences, and Keith J. Worsley
|
|
- Modern Monte Carlo
- Organizer:
|
Tom Griffiths, University of California, Berkely
Jay Myung, Ohio State University |
|
- Abstract:
|
Recent work in statistics has resulted in a number of sophisticated Monte Carlo methods that can be used for evaluating high-dimensional integrals and sampling from complex distributions, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo, importance sampling, and particle filtering. The symposium will consist of a tutorial on theoretical foundations of these methods, followed by a series of research talks exploring how the methods can be used in estimating the parameters of psychological models, designing experiments, and explaining different aspects of cognition. |
|
- Keynote Speaker:
- Speakers:
|
Tom Griffiths, Janne Kujala, Jay Myung, and Jeff Rouder
|
|
- Complex Decision Making: Problem Solving
& Markov Decision Processes
- Organizers:
|
Neil Bearden, University of Arizona
Zygmunt Pizlo, Purdue University |
|
- Abstract:
|
The symposium covers a range of topics that traditionally were classified as representing different research areas, such as decision making, problem solving, operations research, and artificial intelligence. Recent progress in these areas, both empirical and theoretical, led to increased interdisciplinary activity, in which students of one area address questions and use tools from other areas. The symposium, which consists of two parts, will start with a keynote talk by William Cook, who will present an overview of combinatorial optimization problems. The two parts are organized around recent developments in the area of problem solving, and Markov decision processes. |
|
- Keynote Speaker:
- Speakers:
|
Speakers for part I (Problem Solving): Yll Haxhimusa, Ryan Murphy, Cole Smith, and Ulrike Stege
Speakers for part II (Markov Decision Processes): Neil Bearden, Ido Erev, Michael Lee, Brian Stankiewicz, and Josh Tenenbaum (tentative) |
|
- Computational Models of Language
- Organizer:
|
Mike Jones, Indiana University |
|
- Abstract:
|
The last decade has seen remarkable progress with techniques for learning lexical representations from statistical redundancies in language (e.g., Latent Semantic Analysis). This symposium will highlight some of the recent advances in computational models of language, including learning and representation of word meaning, compositional semantics, and grammar induction. In addition, the role of perceptual grounding and techniques to integrate multi-sensory data (above and beyond text) into statistical learning models will be discussed. With the emergence of many new models, we will focus on the ability of these techniques to explain core cognitive phenomena. |

- Keynote Speaker:
- Speakers:
|
Simon Dennis, Mike Jones, Amy Perfors, Mark Steyvers, and Chen Yu

Complete Schedule
|
|
The current schedule of presentations is available in PDF format (see link below). A second enlarged "half-day" format of the schedule is also available and is the same as the "full-day" verion, but has been split into two halves ("morning" vs. "afternoon/evening") and formatted landscape so that the text appears twice as large.
|
|
To avoid clutter, these schedules only contains the name of the "presenter" (the person identified at the time of submission as the one who would present) and the presentation title. For complete presentation information please see the "Author Directory" or "Listing of Presentations" below. |
|
Author Directory
|
|
Below is a link to an alphabetized directory of all authors. Next to each author's name is one or more links to presentations on which they have been listed as an author. Each link connects to a printable page containing the presentation title, type, and scheduled date/time; also this page includes the presenter's name, the name(s) of any co-authors, the affiliations of each author, and the presentation abstract.
|
The directory will open in a new window or tab.
|
|
Listing of All Presentations
|
|
For a complete listing of all presentations which can either be browsed or searched (using your browsers search functions) the follow two pages provide an alphabetically and a chronologically organized compendium of all presentations including: presentation title, type, and scheduled date/time, the presenter's name, the name(s) of any co-authors, the affiliations of each author, and the presentation abstract.

Presentation Resources & Specifications
|
|
Currently it is only possible to post the following information regarding the equipment resources and specifications for the conference. As more details and arrangements are made, this information will be updated and completed. The equipment will be the same for all sessions and rooms, except for plenary speeches.
|
|
Symposia & Talks |
|
|
All talks and symposia will take place in Salons A, B, or C of The Heritage Ballroom on the second floor. Both LCD projectors and overhead projectors will be provided. Please notify the organizers at your earliest possible convenience of any special requirements for your presentation. |
|
|
|
Poster Presentations |
|
|
All poster sessions will take place in The Garden Room on the first floor. The maximum permissible poster size will be 8ft x 4ft. Tacks will be provided to affix them to the panels. |
|
|
|
Internet and Workspace |
|
|
The Garden Room will be available throughout the conference as a workspace or meeting-space (except during Poster Sessions & lunch times). |
