Cognitive Systems Research is dedicated to the study of human-level cognition. As such, it welcomes papers which advance the understanding, design and applications of cognitive and intelligent systems, both natural and artificial.The journal brings together a broad community studying cognition in its many facets in vivo and in silico, across the developmental spectrum, focusing on individual capacities or on entire architectures. It aims to foster debate and integrate ideas, concepts, constructs, theories, models and techniques from across different disciplines and different perspectives on human-level cognition. The scope of interest includes the study of cognitive capacities and architectures - both brain-inspired and non-brain-inspired - and the application of cognitive systems to real-world problems as far as it offers insights relevant for the understanding of cognition.Cognitive Systems Research therefore welcomes mature and cutting-edge research approaching cognition from a systems-oriented perspective, both theoretical and empirically-informed... in the form of original manuscripts, short communications, opinion articles, systematic reviews, and topical survey articles from the fields of Cognitive Science (including Philosophy of Cognitive Science), Artificial Intelligence/Compute... Science, Cognitive Robotics, Developmental Science, Psychology, and Neuroscience and Neuromorphic Engineering. Empirical studies will be considered if they are supplemented by theoretical analyses and contributions to theory development and/or computational modelling studies. Note that the journal does not publish clinical and medical papers. We also do not publish pure machine learning papers, e.g. studies proposing variants of classifiers or pure algorithmic improvements that bear no connection to cognitive systems research in the sense above.Additionally, Cognitive Systems Research plays a special role in fostering and promoting the 'BICA Challenge' to create a real-life computational equivalent of the human mind by devoting two special issues to BICA AI (Brain-Inspired Cognitive Architectures for Artificial Intelligence) related topics each year.
An official publication of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA)Computer Speech & Language publishes reports of original research related to the analysis, recognition, understanding, production, synthesis, coding and mining of speech and spoken language, including spoken language dialogue systems and speech-based interaction with ‘intelligent’ artefacts, and their wide-ranging applications.The journal provides a focus for this work, and encourages an interdisciplinary approach to speech and spoken language research and technology. Thus contributions from all of the related fields are welcomed in the form of reports of theoretical or experimental studies, reviews, and pertaining to models and their implementation, or reports of fundamental research leading to the improvement of such models.Research Areas IncludeAlgorithms and models for speech recognition and synthesisNatural language processing for speech understanding and generationComputatio... models of spoken language discourse and dialogueSpeech and spoken-language inclusive multimodal approaches and systemsInformation retrieval, extraction and summarization of spoken language mediaSpeaker and spoken language recognitionComputati... models of speech production and perceptionSignal processing for speech analysis, enhancement and transformationEvalua... of speech-based interactive systemsApplications of speech and spoken language technologiesNote that we are no longer accepting submissions devoted to pure Natural Language Processing NLP (i.e. all new manuscripts must address some aspect of spoken language processing).
