SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition - Welcome!


The interdisciplinary Transregional Collaborative Research Center Spatial Cognition: Reasoning, Action, Interaction has been established by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) on 01 January 2003 at the Universities Bremen and Freiburg.

Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, organization, utilization and revision of knowledge about spatial environments, be it real or abstract, human or machine. Research issues range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation. The goal of the SFB/TR 8 is to investigate the cognitive foundations for human-centered spatial assistance systems.

Spatial Cognition 2012
Conference | 31.08.2012 - 03.09.2012

Spatial Cognition 2012 (SC 2012) will bring together researchers working on spatial cognition, biological inspired systems, spatial learning, communication, robotics, and perception. The conference is single-track and the final program will be the result of a selective review process. The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. The main conference will be preceded by one day of workshops and tutorials. Every effort is being made to keep conference expenses affordable, particularly for student attendees. All papers presented at the conference will be published by Springer.

ECAI Workshop "Machine Learning for Interactive Systems: Bridging the Gap among Language, Motor Control, and Vision"
Conference | 27.08.2012 - 28.08.2012

Interactive systems such as multimodal interfaces or robots must perceive, act, and interact in the environment where they are embedded. Naturally, perception, action and interaction are mutually related and affect each other. This is particularly the case in many hands-free and eyes-free mobile applications of interactive systems. Machine learning offers the attractive capability of making interactive systems more adaptive to the user and environment. For any of perception, action, and interaction we find a large number of applications using machine learning techniques. However, holistic approaches that tackle these fields in a unified way are still rare. The question of how to integrate language, motor control and vision in machine learning interfaces in an efficient and effective way has been a long standing problem and is the main topic of the workshop.
