[CogSci] US-Australia MURI collaboration on Cognition and Machine learning

[Scott Brown]

Dear Colleague at the Cognitive Science Society,
Our team of Cognitive Science and Machine Learning experts at the University of Newcastle, Australia, led by Stephan Chalup, Scott Brown, and Ami Eidels, is looking to partner with U.S. collaborators pursuing MURI funding in the 2019 round, for a research project on Adaptive and Adversarial Machine learning.
AUSMURI is a $25 million investment program encouraging Australian universities to collaborate with universities in the United States and explore opportunities in designated topics. It complements the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant program administered by the US Department of Defence.
The program will provide funding of up to $1 million per year, for three years, to support multidisciplinary teams from Australian universities to undertake research in Australia, working in collaboration with US academic colleagues on high priority projects for future Defence capabilities. The current project aims to augment machine learning capabilities by integrating principles from human cognition.
The timeline for the proposal is very short: a short white paper is due June 4, 2019, and a full proposal (if invited) is due Sept 13, 2019. If you are interested in pursuing this project, please contact Stephan Chalup, Scott Brown, or Ami Eidels
