Overview
The Twelfth Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems will take
place from Monday, October 13, to Wednesday, October 15, 2025,
at the Global Learning Center at Georgia Institute of Technology.
The conference aims to bring together researchers to advance the original
goals of artificial intelligence: to explain cognition and learning
in computational terms and to reproduce a broad range of intelligent
behaviors and human abilities in computational artifacts.
The conference welcomes many types of research, including demonstrations
of new capabilities, empirical studies of implemented systems, and
formal analyses of complex tasks. The term "cognitive" refers to any
computational artifact that thinks or reasons, whether or not it works
the same way as humans. Topics of interest include:
-
Conceptual Inference and Reasoning
-
Problem Solving, Planning, and Heuristic Search
-
Common Sense and Qualitative Modeling
-
Memory Storage and Retrieval
-
Structural Learning and Knowledge Capture
-
Natural Language Understanding and Generation
-
Discourse and Dialogue Processing
-
Vision, Audition, and High-level Perception
-
Mental Imagery and Iconic Processing
-
Cognitive Models and Architectures
-
Cognitive Robotics and Embodied Cognition
-
High-level Execution and Control
-
Multi-Tasking and Attention
-
Social Cognition and Interaction
-
Cognitive Aspects of Emotion and Personality
-
Metacognition and Meta-level Reasoning
-
Collaboration and Teaming
|
We encourage participation from anyone who is interested in computational
approaches to complex cognition, human-level intelligence, and related
topics.
Submissions
We invite researchers to submit papers for presentation at the conference
via
OpenReview.
Papers should have no more than sixteen (16) single-column pages and must
follow the formatting
instructions. Appendixes will not count toward the 16-page limit.
The meeting will consider two types of submissions.
-
Technical papers should report an implemented cognitive system,
the detailed design for such a system, or an analysis of some complex task.
Authors of technical papers should examine the
review form carefully
before submission, as referees will expect them to address the questions
therein.
-
Commentaries should review the state of the field, pose challenge
problems, or relate alternative frameworks. These essays will be reviewed
separately, with the main criteria for acceptance being relevance to
the conference, clear statements of positions, and effective communication.
They may be less than 16 pages.
Authors of papers that are accepted for oral presentation at the conference
may be invited to publish an expanded version as an article in the associated
electronic journal
Advances in
Cognitive Systems.

Schedule, Logistics, and Registration
The Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems will run from
Monday, October 13, to Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at the
Global
Learning Center at Georgia Institute of
Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. The meeting will include extended
technical presentations, leisurely breaks to encourage discussions, and
poster receptions to foster additional interactions among participants.
The schedule for conference and workshops will be available shortly
after paper decisions have been made. Information about registration,
transportation, and lodging is available at the meeting's
logistics page.
