Technical Committee on Cognitive Computing
Submitted by: Xuelong Li
Scope:
Cognitive Computing breaks the traditional boundary between neuroscience and computer science, and paves the way for machines that will have reasoning abilities analogous to a human brain. It is
an interdisciplinary research and application field, and uses methods from psychology, biology, signal processing, physics, information theory, mathematics, and statistics. The development of Cognitive Computing will cross fertilize these other research areas with which it interacts. There are many open problems to be addressed and to be defined. This technical committee tackles these problems in both academia and industry, and focuses on new foundations/technologies that are intrinsic to Cognitive computing.

Goals for the next five years:
We are planning a new conference and a new journal, both under the title of Cognitive Computing
Up to three most important papers since the beginning the committee:
