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)

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!

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. :) ).

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

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.

Analogy-ANGLE (analogy-angle.github.io ): new kid on the block. The focus is more on interdisciplinary research informed by cognitive science and psychology, and also on the notion of analogical _abstraction_.

IARML (iarml2024-ijcai.loria.fr ): this is the 3rd edition. Aiming more for the CS/ML crowd. Last year there was a lot of talk about LLMs, deep learning and applications, but also several more theoretical talks.

[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.

University level.

Yeah. Figured a way to use university credit card with a strict monthly cap (and sending them the invoice the second I get it).

I've had that. I've also had journalists attributing what I said to other people (and once or twice attributing to me stuff I don't think I said🤷‍♀️). I now ask to go over the piece before publication if possible.

Also, achievement unlocked: getting photos of all the authors' dogs into the paper.😝

The Lean Data Scientist (or: what to do when you can't just "throw more data at it"), soon to appear at @CACMmag and at @WiMLworkshop @NeurIPS.

הזכרת לי מאמר (חישובי) בדיוק על זה, עם שם חינני: Cockamamie Gobbledegook for Nincompoops proceedings.mlr.press/v97/gu…

המון אנשים אומרים תודה ובבקשה, חלק גם שואלים איך היה היום שלה או מספרים לה על שלהם.🤷‍♀️

Computers will never beat people at ________.

Also, congrats to @oren_sultan for having his first two(!) papers ever accepted (on the first try!). 🦾 #EMNLP2022

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.😋

לקחתי שתי ילדות בנות חמש לביקור קצרצר (זירת חרבות, משחק קופסה חדש בשבילן, ספרים של עוץ וצילום עם כמה דמויות שהן מכירות).
