CALL FOR PAPERS
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| Second Workshop on: |
| Bridging the Gap between Human and Automated Reasoning |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
an IJCAI-16 workshop (supported by IFIP TC12)
New York, USA, July 9th, 2016
http://ratiolog.uni-koblenz.de/bridging2016
Human reasoning or the psychology of deduction is well
researched in cognitive psychology and in cognitive science.
There are a lot of findings which are based on experimental
data about reasoning tasks, among others models for the
selection task or the suppression task discussed by Byrne
and others. This research is supported also by brain
researchers, who aim at localizing reasoning processes
within the brain.
Automated deduction, on the other hand, is mainly focusing
on the automated proof search in logical calculi. And indeed
there is tremendous success during the last decades.
Recently a coupling of the areas of cognitive science and
automated reasoning is addressed in several approaches. For
example there is increasing interest in modeling human rea-
soning within automated reasoning systems including modeling
with answer set programming, deontic logic or abductive
logic programming. There are also various approaches within
AI research.
This workshop is a follow-up event of the successful Bridg-
ing workshop (http://ratiolog.uni-koblenz.de/bridging.html)
which was located at CADE-25. Like its preceding event, it
is intended to get an overview of existing approaches and
make a step towards a cooperation between computational
logic and cognitive science. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to the following:
o limits and differences between automated and human reason-
ing
o psychology of deduction
o common sense reasoning
o logics modeling human cognition
o modeling human reasoning using automated reasoning systems
o non-monotonic, defeasible, and classical reasoning and
possible explanations for human reasoning
o application fields of automated reasoning in the interac-
tion with human reasoners
The workshop will be held in conjunction with IJCAI-16 and
is supported by IFIP TC12.
