HomePeopleEventsiCogSciMUCSC
What is SOCS?The Student Organization for Cognitive Science (SOCS) aims to provide a community for burgeoning Cognitive Science students at Indiana University. We organize several events throughout the year, including:
movie nights
professor dinners
TED parties
discussion groups
Please check our events page for a constantly updated calendar of SOCS activities and Cognitive Science Program colloquia and lectures.
The Midwest Undergraduate Cognitive Science Conference (MUCSC) is an annual SOCS event. Last year the conference attracted young scholars from several midwestern universities. Professor Douglas Hofstadter presented the keynote address. Planning for MUCSC 2009 is underway, and abstracts must be submitted by February 28, 2010. For more information, see the MUCSC site.
iCogSci is an online resource for undergraduate Cognitive Science students and features the Indiana Undergraduate Journal of Cognitive Science. SOCS members are highly encouraged to participate in the journal review process and to contribute in whatever ways possible.

Computational Linguistics
We are pleased to announce the following computational linguistics (CL) opportunities, as we start the semester.
1. We have our a listserv (COMPLING-L), to manage CL announcements & discussions, and many CL announcements are sent only to this listserv. Details on how to subscribe are at the end of this announcement.
2. We are continuing a CL discussion group this semester, a forum for presentations and discussions. Anyone who has work-in-progress (at any stage) can present their work in this informal setting and receive feedback. It's great for students to get feedback, and it's great for all of us to become more aware of the different types of CL-related work being done here at IU.
We are planning on Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m., and we will meet in Memorial Hall (MM) 401. Our first, organizational meeting will be this coming Tuesday, September 2.
If you want to subscribe to COMPLING-L, send an e-mail message to listserv@indiana.edu with the following command in the body:
subscribe CompLing-l
You'll receive an email confirming your subscription, as well as details on how to post messages, etc.

Robotics Open House
You are cordially invited to join us for the Cognitive Science Robotics Open House.
What: Cognitive Science Robotics Open House
When: Friday, May 1, 4-7 p.m.
Where: The West Wing of IUB’s Eigenmann Hall, 8th floor
Are you fascinated by robots? On May 1, the Cognitive Science Robotics groups, led by Professor Randall Beer and Professor Matthias Scheutz invite you to a Robotics Open House.
The Open House will feature presentations about research going on in both groups and will include various live demonstrations on robots and in computer simulations. In particular, you will see CRAMER, the friendly interactive humanoid, an autonomous Segway platform moving to natural language commands, an autonomous robot photographer taking pictures, an autonomous walking hexapod controlled by a neural network, a robotic vocal tract producing natural sounds, a robotic head with attached arm showing binocular vision-guided reaching, a gantry robot, as well as various computer simulations of artificial agents performing tasks in simulated environments, and demos of gesture recognition and natural language processing.
