Citizenship in a Digital Age (CiDA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
Does mobile digital technology transform citizenship relations? Does it change the way we think about participation, equality and rights? Despite the rise of terms such as 'digital citizenship' and 'netizens' and a widespread belief that digital technology will revolutionize democracy, many scholars argue that the emancipatory potential of digital technology is overstated. At the same time promine ...

Web-enabled and Experience-based Cognitive Robots that Learn Complex Everyday Manipulation Tasks (ROBOHOW.COG)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
Description
In order to make robots achieve robust, adaptive, effective and natural performance of everyday manipulation tasks, it is not feasible to expect that programmers can equip the robots with plan libraries that cover such open-ended task spectrum competently. ROBOHOW.Cog targets at enabling autonomous robots to perform expanding set ...

Computational Modeling of Knowledge-Based Inference Generation during Reading Comprehension (CMOIG)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
"The proposed research project employs a pioneering interdisciplinary approach to study inference generation, a fundamental, essential cognitive process that underlies human discourse processing in general and reading comprehension in particular. By integrating linguistic computational modeling (Latent Semantic Analysis and the computational implementation of the Landscape model) with psycholingui ...

The role of the dopamine system in human reinforcement learning (dopamine)
Start date: Aug 1, 2009, End date: Nov 21, 2011,
Animal research has indicated an important role for the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and its neurotransmitter dopamine in reinforcement learning, an elementary form of learning on the basis of rewards and punishments. In recent years, cognitive neuroscientists have used these animal data to develop various highly sophisticated theories on the role of the dopamine system in human reinforcement lear ...
