Student travel awards result (NEW!)

 

The following students are selected to receive the Student Travel Awards, sponsored by Microsoft Research:

 

- Miguel Vaz, for Paper #57, ¡°Learning from a tutor: embodied speech acquisition and imitation learning¡±

- Nick DePalma, for Paper #38, ¡°Computational Benefits of Social Learning Mechanisms: Stimulus Enhancement and Emulation¡±

- Megumi Kuwabara, for Paper #11, ¡°Cultural Differences in Relational Knowledge¡±

- Tingfan Wu, for Paper #47, ¡°Learning to Make Facial Expression¡±

- Jonas Ruesch, for Paper #32, ¡°Evolving Predictive Visual Motion Detectors¡±

 

Congratulations to the winners.

 

The selection works as follows. Zhengyou assigned a number to each application received. Jochen, unaware of the number-applicant association, drew 5 random numbers, which decides the winners.

 

The Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Awards will be announced during the conference. They are decided by an award committee whose members do not have any conflict of interest.

About the Conference

 

The International Conference on Development and Learning is a multidisciplinary conference pertaining to all subjects related to the development and learning process of natural and artificial systems, including perceptual, cognitive, behavioral, emotional and all other mental capabilities that are exhibited by humans, higher animals, robots. Its visionary goal is to understand autonomous development in humans and higher animals in biological, functional, and computational terms, and to enable such development in artificial systems. ICDL strives to bring together researchers in neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and other related areas to encourage understanding and cross-fertilization of latest ideas and results from the different disciplines.

 

Best Paper Awards will be offered in ICDL 2009. In addition, 4 students will each receive $250 Travel Awards to support their travel to the conference.
