Happy to announce that we are starting a new workshop on Computational Analogy, called Principia Analogiae (Yeah, the name is a bit megalomaniac. I like it this way. :) ).

I don't want it to be a regular talks-and-posters workshop. It's supposed to be more of a collaboration space between researchers from different disciplines who are passionate about analogies. Know someone like this? Pass this along!

It's going to be in Lisbon, on June. Website: analogiae.tecnico.ulisboa.pt… , Application form: forms.gle/N7wrS6VeyyTevLno7 (This is invitation-only, to keep the event effective)

[shaking off the dust of this account; crazy times] Fellow analogy enthusiasts -- this year there are *two* analogy workshops at IJCAI. 🎉 If you're considering submitting (or attending), let me try and break down their differences.

Keynote speakers: * IARML: Zied Bouraoui, Emiliano Lorini * Analogy-ANGLE: @KenForbus and Tony Veale Deadline is the same, and fast approaching (May 10th), number of pages is quite different (short/long: 2/12 vs. 4/7). Both will consider some form of already-published papers.

TL;DR: It's going to be fun. Oh, and have I mentioned it's all happening in Jeju? 🤩

Ever wanted to train a model but didn't have enough data and/or labels? We surveyed the lit and summarized methods to overcome this data bottleneck problem in a practitioner-centric taxonomy Accepted at CACM & WiML@NeurIPS arxiv.org/pdf/2211.07959.pdf @jonzarecki @HyadataLab @CseHuji

Fun work suggesting a new challenging setup for computational analogy -- natural-language texts describing situations or processes (how the heart works/how a pump works). Take a look if you've had enough of the king:queen::man:? example.😋

Check out Ronen's piece about open-sourcing (human) attention to fix the social media ecosystem. The biggest questions for me remain (1) incentives -- what would make people happily share their digital traces, and (2) giving them a simple way to control what they share.

I’ll be at #CHI2022! Looking forward to finally seeing people in 3D.😊 The plan: Sharing our works on (1) supporting the process of innovation and (2) making Alexa more playful, and also a #RHCP concert (because my students are awesome).
