WG1 First Meeting

The first in-person meeting for Working Group 1 (on Search, Planning, Learning, and Explainability) is planned to take place on January 31, 2024, in Leiden, the Netherlands.
Many thanks to Mike Preuss and Aske Plaat for their help and willingness to host us at LIACS!

The schedule is available here.

Our plan is to have talks and discussions on all three of the core research goals described in the WG1 summary, which we recently shared in the network's mailing list:

• Human-like game-playing AI.
• Imperfect-information games (in a General Game Playing context).
• Explainable search and reinforcement learning (in games).

While the working group is not necessarily restricted to just those three topics, there is a limit to how much content we can properly cover in a single day, and we feel that this is a good selection of topics for our first event.
Core goals of COST Actions include the facilitation of networking and building new connections, collaborations, and plans for possible grant proposals. Therefore, our plan is not only to have invited talks on research already done within these topics, but also to allow ample time for discussions. In particular, we encourage participants to express their interest in setting up collaborations or future grant proposals to each other.

The meeting will be held at Leiden University at the following location:

Snellius Building 4.12
Niels Bohrweg 1
2333 CA Leiden
