Call for Papers

Submissions were invited from researchers across relevant disciplines including but not limited to cognitive science, machine learning, AI and robotics. Relevant topics include:

• computational models of metacognition for perception, planning and control;

• architectures and implementations of metacognitive systems;

• metacognition for robust, rapid or safe learning;

• introspective or curious exploration, learning through interaction;

• the applicability of dual process theory to artificial agents;

• metacognition, world modelling and causal discovery;

• metacognition for resilient action under model uncertainty and mis-specification;

• datasets and metrics for evaluating the metacognitive capacity of artificial agents.

We especially encouraged contributions from underrepresented communities such as WiML, Black in AI, LXAI, Indigenous AI.

Important Dates:

Submission Deadline: 11:59 PM Monday, 4 October 2021 (anywhere on earth)

Author Notification: 22 October 2021

Workshop Date: 13 December 2021 (join here)

Submission Website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=metacogneurips2021

Submission Format: either position papers (up to 4 pages) or full papers (up to 8 pages) anonymised using the NeurIPS 2021 style guidelines (found here).

References and appendix should be appended into the same (single) PDF document, and do not count towards the page limit. The camera-ready version of the papers should use the NeurIPS 2021 style guidelines.

There will be no formal publication of workshop proceedings. However, the accepted papers will be made available online on the workshop website and will count as non-archival reports to allow submissions to future conferences/journals. Select papers from the workshop proceedings will be invited to submit to a forthcoming AI Magazine volume on human and machine intelligence.
