Aim and Scope

The main objective of this workshop is to provides a uniquely focused forum for the discussion of the intersection of different fields like, audio, speech, language, images and some others into unique robotics systems that can auto-improve by learning and can be exploited through different reasoning techniques. The topics of the workshop include, but are not restricted to:

* Multimodal knowledge representation in robotic systems
* Semantic modeling of multimodal feature space
* Multimodal fusion at semantic level
* Logical reasoning of multimodal feature spaces
* Heterogeneous cognitive robotics systems
* Multimodal semantic reasoning on robotic systems
* Shallow and deep semantic processing of heterogeneous information
* Computational aspects on robots for multimodal semantic
* Methodologies and approaches for multimodal semantic annotation
* Representing and resolving semantic multimodal ambiguity
* Hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to representing multimodal semantics
* Multimodal vs non multimodal approaches
* Multimodal semantics and ontologies for robots
* Robotic applications of multimodal semantic systems
* Joint language and image semantic robot learning and reasoning
