7th Workshop on Cognition & Control

7th Workshop on Cognition & Control

The 7th C^3 Workshop
January 25–26
Gainesville, FL

The purpose of this meeting is the same as the previous C3 workshops: To educate each other and the public, and to engage in discussion related to topics in control and cognition (which includes information theory and statistical learning). The conference is organized to leave lots of time for discussion.

Application areas have included communication, power systems, and brain science.

Organized by Prof. Sean Meyn, co-organized by Profs. Jie Fu and Yuheng Bu, with help from graduate students including Caio Lauand and Austin Cooper. Many thanks to Marcy Lee for her expert help in organization.

Talks will be held in the Chamber Room @ Reitz Union, along with poster sessions as in prior years (See instructions on how to register to present your poster here).    Video from prior workshops can be found on this YouTube channel.

Thanks again to the Army Research Office for their financial support, along with help from the National Science Foundation and the UF Pittman Endowment for their support.
