Technical Committee on Cognitive Computing

 

Who we are

TC Chair


Birkbeck College, University of London, UK

 

Our goals

Cognitive Computing breaks the traditional boundary between neuroscience and computer science, and paves the way for machines that will have reasoning abilities analogous to a human brain. It is an interdisciplinary research and application field, and uses methods from psychology, biology, signal processing, physics, information theory, mathematics, and statistics. The development of Cognitive Computing will cross fertilize these other research areas with which it interacts. There are many open problems to be addressed and to be defined. This technical committee tackles these problems in both academia and industry, and focuses on new foundations/technologies that are intrinsic to Cognitive Computing.

What we are doing

  • Special sessions at annual IEEE SMC conferences
  • Special issues in IEEE Transactions on SMC, Parts A, B, and C (making use of knowledge from neuroscience/cognitive science to conventional computing research and applications, e.g., vision, music, machine learning, and pattern recognition)
  • Technical co-sponsorship of academic conferences


Why don't you join us?

  • Unique opportunities to discuss problems in Cognitive Computing
  • Friends in same/related research and/or application fields Joint (interdisciplinary) research proposals and share of research resources
  • Organization of conferences, special issues, and special sessions
  • Publications in high-quality conferences and journals
