The a ge of information explosion gives us a whole new\n spectrum of possibilities for creating an in telligent\n machine. Many marvelous ideas of the dawn of Artificial\n Intelligence researc h faced problems of exceptions and the\n impo ssibility of manual input of all needed knowledge, but today\n we have vast amounts of data fro m sensors and text so that we\n can rethink c lassical AI methods and approaches. The increased\ n use of WWW, RFID, Bluetooth, etc. could all ow us to determine\n standard human behaviors , emotions or even moral reasoning\n accordin g to the Wisdom of Crowds hypothesis. Collective i nput\n data could also help to retrieve knowl edge about the physical\n world we live in. B y combining Natural Language Processing\n met hods with cognitive approaches, we can discover a new range\n of intelligent systems that under stand us, our environment and\n our feelings.
\nIn this context, we see a role for NLP and cognitive\n approaches to play in dev eloping a new generation of\n user-friendly, safe systems that, through interaction with the\n user and the world, can learn how to reason, behave or speak\n naturally. We are intereste d in original papers on systems and\n ideas f or systems that use common sense knowledge and rea soning,\n affective computing, cognitive meth ods, learning from broad sets\n of data and a cquiring knowledge, or language and user\n pr eferences. The symposium intends to spark an\n interdisciplinary discussion on joining forces to return AI to\n its original, broader and d eeper goals which are currently\n represented by AGI - Artificial General Intelligence.\n
