CAOS 2021 - Call for Papers
Cognition And OntologieS
in conjunction with FOIS held September 11-18 in
Bolzano, Italy
(hybrid event)
The
purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between
the cognitive sciences and research on ontologies and,
thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in
interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation.
More specifically CAOS investigates how key
cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved
terminology) can be found across language,
psychology and reasoning and how they can be
formally and ontologically understood and analysed.
It moreover seeks answers to ways such
formalisations and ontological analysis can be
exploited in Artificial Intelligence and information
systems in general.
We welcome submissions on topics related to the
ontology of hypothesized building blocks of
cognition (such as image schemas, affordances,
categories, and related notions) and of cognitive
capacities (such as concept invention, language
acquisition and categorisation), as well as system
demonstrations modelling these capacities in
application settings. We also welcome submissions
addressing the cognitive and epistemological
adequacy of ontological modelling.
Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):
Modelling
cognitive phenomena:
- Language acquisition
- Formalisation /
modelling of language
- Embodied cognition
- Concept invention
- AI for language
understanding
- Image schemas /
affordances for AI
- Knowledge acquisition
in AI and Robotics
- Natural language
applications / system-demonstrations
Epistemological
and cognitive foundation of ontologies:
- Cognitive foundations
of ontologies and ontologies of cognitive
theories (e.g. connection with conceptual
spaces, diagrammatic representations, mental
models, prototypes, image schemas, scripts
etc.).
- Empirical foundations
of ontologies: ontologies driven from
observations, measurements, tests, and in
general from data acquired using empirical
procedures.
- Representation of
different perspectives on the same domain:
contexts, granularity, resolution, ontological
levels.
- Quantitative
approaches/analyses, probabilities, uncertainty,
and ontologies.
- Neural networks and
ontological modelling.
- Integration of
ontologies with different formats and levels of
representation (e.g. neural-symbolic
integration).
- Inductive reasoning in
ontologies.
- Ontological Extensions
of Cognitive Architectures.
We welcome researchers from all career stages to
participate. Work in progress (short papers) are
also welcome since a central goal of the workshop is
the discussion of ongoing interdisciplinary work.
All papers must be original and not submitted to or
accepted by any other workshop, conference or
journal. Note, that for inclusion in the JOWO
proceedings, short and position papers are required
to be at least 5 pages long.
All contributions will be peer-reviewed, and the
review process will be managed in a collaborative
and transparent manner using the EasyChair System as
part of the JOWO organisation.

Workshop
policy
CAOS 2021 is planned as a hybrid event. Hence, there
will be a physical meeting in Bolzano which
hopefully most will be able to join. However, given
the uncertainty about travel in September, we will
make arrangements for remote participation. If the
physical meeting cannot be held due to social
restrictions, the workshop will go fully virtual.
