[CogSci] Summer school in cognitive modeling & simulation-based inference

[Kvam, Peter]

Dear all,

We are happy to announce a new summer school on “Unlocking New Horizons in Cognitive Modeling with Simulation-Based Inference” to take place this summer in Columbus, Ohio (USA) from July 27-31.

The summer school will offer a training opportunity for graduate students, postdocs, early-career faculty, and others who are interested in learning about cognitive modeling and machine learning methods. This five-day workshop will cover topics ranging from the basics of cognitive modeling and Bayesian inference to machine learning methods, simulation-based inference, joint neural and behavioral modeling, and data-driven methods for creating new models.

In addition to regular talks, keynotes, and workshop sessions, participants will be invited to present their own work in poster sessions and to participate in breakout groups aimed at applying these methods to their own work. This will be facilitated by the organizing team and instructors: Peter Kvam (Ohio State University), Stefan Radev (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), Konstantina Sokratous (University of Missouri), Anne Collins (University of California, Berkeley), Brandon Turner (Ohio State University), Alex Fengler (Brown University), Michael Nunez (University of Amsterdam), and Ti-Fen Pan (University of California, Berkeley).

Thanks to the support of the William K. and Katherine W. Estes Fund, we are able to offer a limited number of scholarships to cover attendance at the summer school, ranging from $1200-1800 depending on need (e.g., travel cost). These scholarships are competitive and will be awarded based on potential benefit to attendees. Summer school registration itself is free even for those not requesting or receiving a scholarship, but you must apply using the form below, as there are a limited number of spots!

To apply for the workshop and/or the scholarship awards, you should upload a current CV, an approximate cost of attendance, and a short statement (~400 words) specifying your professional goals, needs, and how you expect to benefit from attending the summer school. These should be uploaded with your information using the application form:

Applications will be accepted until April 30th (AoE). Please note in your statement if you need any special accommodations such as a visa letter.

Feel free to forward this to anyone else you think might be interested.

Sincerely,
The Organizing Committee
