Cognitive science has made enormous progress in the last decade. What was considered science fiction only a few years ago has rapidly been turned into standard methods and daily routine in the leading laboratories around the world. This reflects the modern interdisciplinary scientific approach to tackle some of the most profound questions concerning the human mind and human cognition. It is also thanks to a number of revolutionary technologies that have recently become available. Join us for an annual conference presented by the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute and SCIENCE magazine focused on the most recent breakthroughs in some fields of cognitive science. This year’s conference will highlight two areas that have seen major advances in the last years. On the first day we will discuss recent progress in Affective Computing/ Emotion/ Facial Expression and on the second day we will concentrate on Machine Learning/ Speech/ Language.
