From Social Interaction to Abstract Concepts and Words: Towards Human-centered Technology Development

Description du projet

Un effort de jumelage informatique centré sur l’humain

Alors que la robotique intelligente joue déjà un rôle dans nos quotidiens, il est important d’examiner la conception des systèmes mixtes homme-ordinateur ou des interactions homme-machine. Toutefois, certaines tâches ambitieuses comme la tentative de traduire des concepts abstraits en systèmes informatiques reposent sur une profonde convergence interdisciplinaire. Le projet TRAINCREASE, financé par l’UE, promouvra la recherche interdisciplinaire dans ce domaine émergent, en stimulant la compréhension et l’utilisation de concepts et de mots abstraits dans l’interaction humaine et leur application à la collaboration homme-machine. Le projet initiera un jumelage destiné à améliorer le potentiel de la R&I de l’Université de Varsovie (UW) grâce à la coopération avec l’Université de Manchester, au Royaume-Uni, l’Université La Sapienza de Rome et l’Université Aarhus au Danemark. Des activités conjointes permettront d’améliorer les compétences en matière de recherche ainsi que la réputation et la visibilité de l’UW.

Objectif

This project is aimed at strengthening the interdisciplinary field of research on the emergence, understanding and use of abstract concepts and words in human interaction, and its application to human-machine collaboration. The main goal is to strengthen the research and innovation potential of the UW as part of European Research Area (ERA) as well as its reputation and visibility in the ERA and worldwide through the collaboration with University of Manchester (UMan), Sapienza University of Rome (Uniroma1) and Aarhus University. The three partners are especially well suited to collaborate towards the objectives: UMan provides expertise in computational modeling of abstract concepts and words in the context of developmental robotics. Uniroma1 provides strong theoretical background and expertise in experimental research, including neuroimaging studies. AU provides a complementary anthropological perspective and expertise in naturalistic research on the social dimension of abstraction. UW provides expertise in ecological approach to abstraction and in dynamical systems theory and methods, which has integratory potential for the field.
The objectives will be achieved by a series of joint activities logically planned to increase excellence both in the field and in the UW's research and management potential: Theory Building and exchange of Complementary Methods; staff, ESRs and administratiion project-targeted exchanges, including a novel scheme for hands-on training (Microtwinning); joint publications and joint grant applications. The Twinning will result in the staff's and ESRs' increased research skills in the field, which is envisioned as one of the most crucial for the cognitive sciences and its exchanges with AI, stabilization of the improvements through structural and curriculum changes, transfer of skills to the grant-managing staff and through development of stable connection within ERA and with non-academic stakeholders as a reliable collaborator and leader.
