Biography

Steve Rozen has made major scientific contributions in the areas of bioinformatics, human genetics, and cancer genomics. He earned a PhD in computer science from New York University, and then worked at the Whitehead-MIT Genome Center on the human genome project. There, he created the widely-used Primer3 software for PCR primer design. He also worked on sequencing the human, chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, and mouse Y chromosomes, and published extensively on mutations in human Y chromosomes and their clinical consequences.

Rozen came to Duke-NUS in 2008, when he began using high-throughput, genomic technologies to better understand cancer and potential therapies. He also founded and now directs the Duke-NUS Centre for Computational Biology. This Centre comprises five faculty, who are engaged in cutting-edge research and education, and who have published > 140 scientific papers since 2011. Rozen's own laboratory focuses on cancer genomics and is part of a team-science effort with Professors Bin Teh and Patrick Tan that has produced multiple high-profile papers. These include papers that used mutation signatures to trace the role of a particular herbal remedy in causing multiple types of cancer, and papers in top-level journals on mutations that cause stomach cancer, bile-duct cancers, and breast fibroepithelial tumors. This team leads the International Cancer Genome Consortium's research on bile-duct cancers and T- and NK-cell lymphomas. Rozen also co-leads the Consortium's Working Group on Mutation Signatures, which aims to computationally extract mutation signatures and deduce carcinogenic exposures in ~20,000 tumors.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Learning in games
• Neural-based approaches for games
• Co-evolution in games
• Fuzzy-based approaches for games
• Tree search approaches for games
• Player/Opponent modeling
• CI/AI-based game design
• CI/AI-assisted game design
• CI for player affective modeling
• Player experience
• Procedural content generation
• CI/AI for game generation
• Intelligent interactive narrative
• Character development and narrative
• CI/AI for virtual cinematography
• CI for non-player characters
• Multi-agent and multi-strategy learning
• Applications of game theory

In addition to regular oral and poster presentations, the conference will include a full program of special sessions, tutorials, workshops, and panel sessions together with keynote talks.

Call for Competitions

The CIG 2016 Organizing Committee invites proposals for competitions. Proposals are due by February 15, 2016, and will be reviewed based on their relevance to the CIG community. The competitions involve well-known games, defining a set of rules and objectives for determining the score of each player. For more information please visit: http://cig16.image.ntua.gr/submissions/call-for-competitions/

Tutorials

Proposals for tutorials should be submitted by March 1, 2016. The proposal should contain a one-page outline of the tutorial, the format of presentation, a short resume of the presenter(s), and any prerequisites for the intended audience. Tutorials are typically a two-hour session.

Special Sessions

Proposals for special sessions should be submitted by *March 1, 2016*. Each proposal should give a half page description of the session topic, short biographical information about the organizers, names of potential contributors and estimated number of submissions. Papers submitted to special sessions will go through the normal reviewing process.

Panels

Panel proposals should be submitted by March 1, 2016 and should be in the form of a 2-page extended abstract describing the focus of the panel, providing a list of confirmed speakers, and indicating their areas of expertise relative to the topic. We encourage both debate-style panels that include representatives advocating several positions on a topic of disagreement, and emerging-area style panels that consolidate and explain recent work on a subject of interest to the CIG community.

Keynote Talks

• Hazel McKendrick, Hello Games, UK
• Anton Nijholt, University of Twente, Nethelands / Imagineering Institute, Malaysia
• Tom Schaul, Google DeepMind, UK

Paper submission types

All paper submissions should follow the recommended IEEE conference manuscript format:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Full papers

Full papers should be submitted by April 15, 2016. Full papers have an 8 page limit, and should constitute a technical or empirical contribution to CI/AI in games and be accompanied by an appropriate evaluation of the work.

In addition to regular paper submissions the conference offers three alternative types of paper submission: competition, vision and demo papers.

Competition papers

These are regular papers (up to 8 pages) that describe one or more entries to the competitions that are running at this year's CIG. Competition papers need to include evaluation of the contribution, including (if possible) results on the same benchmark as that used by the competition, and comparison to other competition entries. Because the problem domain is well-known, these papers can be reviewed faster than regular papers. The same quality standards will apply to competition papers as to regular papers. Competition papers should be submitted by May 31, 2016.

Vision papers

These are regular papers (up to 8 pages) describing a vision for the future of the field of computational intelligence and games or some part of it. These papers need to be based on existing literature, be well-written and well argued. In cases where a paper describes a particular technique or domain, the paper should include a survey of that field; all papers should include extensive bibliographies. Papers should not revolve around any particular set of experiments, and need not contain any new empirical results, but are encouraged to outline ambitious future work. The quality standards applied to vision papers are at least as high as for other conference papers. Vision papers should be submitted by May 31, 2016.

Demos

Demo submissions should be in the form of a 2-page extended abstract. The submission needs to accompany a demonstration of CI in games. The demo event of IEEE CIG 2016 will showcase the latest CI/AI tools, techniques, and systems created for games by academic or industrial research groups. Demos should be submitted by May 31, 2016.

We wish to communicate with people working in different research areas, practitioners, professionals and academicians in this area.

Topics of the special session include, but not limited to:

recurrent neural networks

Sequential data classification, regression and learning

Architectures, techniques and algorithms for learning in non-stationary/dynamic environments

Domain adaptation, dataset shift, covariance shift

Incremental learning, lifelong learning, cumulative learning

Change-detection tests and anomaly-detection algorithms

Mining from streams of data

Sequential kernel

Text Classification

streaming learning and mining

hidden Markov models

Echo state networks, and reservoir models

Applications that call for incremental learning or learning in non-stationary/dynamic environments, such as:
