[Amdnl] [meetings] EXTENDED DEADLINE: Call for Application to Intrinsically Motivated Open-ended Learning Workshop (IMOL2019)

[Vieri Giuliano Santucci]

Dear Colleagues,

this message is to inform you that we extended to May 31st the deadline for
applying to IMOL 2019 (see the original message below)

--------------------

We are pleased to announce the “*Fourth International Workshop on
Intrinsically-Motivated Open-ended Learning (IMOL2019)*”, which will be
held *at Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) in Frankfurt
(Germany) on 1-2-3 July 2019*.

The organizers of IMOL 2019 will be

- Vieri Giuliano Santucci (ISTC – CNR, Rome)
- Kathryn Merrick (University of New South Wales, Canberra)
- Jochen Triesch (FIAS, Frankfurt)
- Gianluca Baldassarre (ISTC – CNR, Rome)

Following three previous editions, the highly focused “Fourth International
Workshop on Intrinsically-Motivated Open-ended Learning (IMOL2019)” aims to
further explore the promise of intrinsically motivated open-ended lifelong
learning. The workshop aims to be a highly interactive event with
high-profile keynote presentations (see list of confirmed invited speakers
at the end of this message). It will foster close interaction among the
participants by discussions, poster sessions, and collective round tables
directed toward specific objectives.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge but limited to a restricted
number of participants. Prospective attendees should express their interest
by submitting a brief statement on their motivations to participate, their
research interests, and their willingness (or not) to contribute with a
poster. The submission should be made by following the instructions at
*http://www.imol-conf.org/
<http://www.imol-conf.org/>* before the *extended deadline of May, 31st*.
Both senior and early career researchers, including PhD students, are
encouraged to submit to ensure a full representation of the community.

Topics of interest involve open-ended lifelong learning in autonomous
agents and robots, for example:

- Autonomous robots lifelong learning
- Multi-task reinforcement learning
- Deep reinforcement learning
- Intrinsic motivations
- Curriculum learning
- Goal self-generation
- Multiple task solution and parameterized skills
- Neural/probabilistic representations and abstractions
- Architectures for open-ended learning
- Goal-based skill learning
- Knowledge transfer and avoidance of catastrophic forgetting
- Compositionality and chunking
- Hierarchies of goals and skills
- Mitigating risks of real-world deployment of open-ended learning systems
