Imitation learning is a powerful mechanism
for dimensionality reduction. When observing either good or bad examples,
one can improve its search for a possible solution, by either starting the
search from the observed good solution (local optima), or conversely, by
eliminating from the search space what is known as a bad solution.
Imitation learning appears thus to be a powerful tool for learning in both
animals and artifacts. Imitation learning has for long been a key topic of Psychology and
Robotics. Recent neurosciences evidence of specific brain pathways
underlying primates’ imitation capability have set the ground for
computational studies of these neural correlates. This workshop aims at
assessing recent progresses in thus area. Because imitation learning has
at core motor learning, the workshop will gather experts in both motor
learning and imitation learning. Key
questions that will be discussed in the workshop include: |

You can download a pdf summary of all abstracts here. The workshop will then lead to an open call for a special issue in one
or two of the following journals (e.g. Neural Networks, IEEE Trans.
of NN, B&M, Neurocomputing)., to be published in late spring 2005. |
