Annual Cognitive Modeling Competition
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the cognitive and behavioral modeling communities now have a rather lengthy history and there is ongoing research and development in these areas across dozens of academic, industrial, and government research laboratories, very little of the work has been explicitly competitive in orientation. That said, there are precedents for modeling competitions in this area. Two examples include the PokerBot Competition (Lebiere & Bothell, 2004) and the Dynamic Stocks and Flows Model Comparison Challenge (Lebiere, Gonzalez, & Warwick, 2010). Both of these were successful and interesting events. However, they were also both single shot modeling competitions that did not evolve into annual events in the spirit of the Robocup (2012) robotic soccer competitions.

متن کاملEvaluation of seed yield and competition indices for intercropped barley (Hordeum vulgare) and annual medic (Medicago scutellata)
Annual medic is an annual crop which performs well in various forage cropping systems. However availability of medic seeds is a major challenge for livestock producers in Iran. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping annual medic with barley can produce supplement medic seeds while barley grain yield as the main crop is not compromised. Two experiments were carried out at the exp...
متن کاملConsciousness: converging insights from connectionist modeling and neuroscience.
Over the past decade, many findings in cognitive neuroscience have resulted in the view that selective attention, working memory and cognitive control involve competition between widely distributed representations. This competition is biased by top-down projections (notably from prefrontal cortex), which can selectively enhance some representations over others. This view has now been implemente...
متن کاملBeyond Testing: Empirical Models of Insurance Markets.
We describe recent advances in the empirical analysis of insurance markets. This new research proposes ways to estimate individual demand for insurance and the relationship between prices and insurer costs in the presence of adverse and advantageous selection. We discuss how these models permit the measurement of welfare distortions arising from asymmetric information and the welfare consequenc...
