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!
[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.
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

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.😋
Analogies are everywhere!

📣 #emnlp2022 (main conference) long paper 🎉:
🎪 Life is a Circus and We are the Clowns: Automatically Finding Analogies between Situations and Processes 🤡

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).
