Associated with JSAI International Symposia on AI 2017 (IsAI-2017)

We organized Fourth International Workshop on Skill Science as below:

• Date：November 13, 2017
• Bunkyo School Building in University of Tukuba's Tokyo Campus (access)
• Lines: Yamanote line, Myogadani station
  • The workshop is held as part of JSAI International Symposia on AI
• Fee：Please read the registration page of IsAI-2017
• It can also be viewed via the following link: Proceedings of SKL 2017 ( 45 pages, 2.7MB)
• Invited talk:  Dr. Keisuke Fujii (Center for Advanced Intelligence Project, RIKEN)
  • Human creative interaction of group sports: Information-based modeling
  • Humans can creatively solve various problems through competition and cooperation among groups. However, with respect to the creative interaction such as sociality and body movement, we cannot even extract its feature from behavioral data yet. Here, we show information-based modeling in the creative interaction of group sport as an example of complex social interaction with an explicit and implicit context. First, we introduce the problems in intra-group cooperation and inter-group competition in the ballgame. In terms of information-based modeling, score prediction system and the cognitive process of cooperative players are explained. Next, we show two-player competition and its motor system modeling. Finally, we discuss future perspectives.

Human skills involve well-attuned perception and fine motor control, often accompanied by thoughtful planning. The involvement of body, environment, and tools mediating them makes the study of skills unique among researches of human intelligence. The symposium invites researchers who investigate human skills and provides them with a place for exchange and discussion. The study of skills requires various disciplines to collaborate with each other because the value of skills is not determined solely in terms of efficiency, but calls for consideration of quality. Quality resides in person and often needs to be transferred through apprentice systems. The procedure of validation is strict, but more complex than scientific activities, where everything needs to be described by referring to data. We are keen to discussing the theoretical foundations of skill science as well as practical and engineering issues in the study.

We aim to invite wide ranges of investigation into human skills, from science and engineering to sports, art, philosophy, anthropology, whatever concerns cultivating human possibilities. We welcome both theoretical and practical studies of human skills. We are keen to enabling for dialogue among researchers with different backgrounds given its interdisciplinary nature of the target. We welcome contributions from practicians as well as those from theorists. The experiences and insights through practices are valuable for increasing our knowledge of human skills. We hope that the workshop will enable people to raise questions stimulating our intellectual curiosity and to induce answers worth consideration.
