COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING FOR
COGNITION EXPANSION: MAKING THE

A
rtificial intelligence is reshaping our world and we assist at unprerceeding
acceleration rates in numerous human activities. The core goal is the
expansion of the human cognition, from its internal expansion (cognitive
psychology) to its external expansion (social cognition). Understanding the
complexity of the human brain and replicating its functionalities has been the
goal of many scientists, and today, more than any time in the scientific history,
the researchers are working on a more ambitious step of amplification and
augmentation of cognition capabilities. We looked at the deepmental process
triggering the human behaviour and building our personal behavioural print.
We translated and adapted core psychology theories of human cognition into
computational models. A digitisation of the mental processes opens the door
to building a better self for self-cognitive capacities expansion, and equally
important, a better relational self for augmented social cognition. We were
interested in our personalised cognitive behavioural print and how it impacts
our cognitive expansion. We will present our computational modelling and
how we are testing it in real world applications.
Alice Marascu is a Senior Research Scientist
at Nokia Bell Labs. Previously, she was a Re-
search Scientist at IBM Research-Ireland and
held post-doctoral research roles at University
of Trento-Italy, and INRIA Rennes Bretagne At-
lantique-France. Her research spans natural lan-
guage processing, large scale streaming data
processing, large scale complex pattern recog-
nition and mining, time series analysis. She has
given multiple talks to industrial and academic
audiences and published results in main confer-
ences in the areas of big data, data mining, ma-
chine learning, query answering (VLDB, PVLDB,
SIGMOD, Big Data Conference, etc.).
