NEURIPS 2021 WORKSHOP:  COOPERATIVE AI

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers]


Overview:  This year at NeurIPS, a collection of researchers from around the world are coming together for the second annual Cooperative AI Workshop. As part of the workshop, we are inviting paper submissions in NeurIPS format. Please do share this invitation widely with any contacts who might be interested: we would like to reach the broadest possible audience.

This is an excellent opportunity to participate in a deep-rooted and continually growing community around the important and ambitious topic of Cooperative AI. We'd be equally delighted to see papers from early career researchers, experts in adjacent fields and experienced groups in the Cooperative AI space. 


We invite high-quality paper submissions of new work in the following topics:

  • Agent cooperation

  • Multi-agent communication

  • Team formation, trust, and reputation

  • Negotiation and bargaining

  • Resolving commitment problems

  • Agent societies, organizations, and institutions

  • Equilibrium computation

  • Markets, mechanism design, and economic cooperation

  • Multi-agent learning

  • Multi-agent and Human-AI coordination (including zero-shot)


*****  SUBMISSION DEADLINE:  25 September 2021  *****

For submission requirements and guidelines, please see the CfP.

Organizing Committee:

  • Edward Hughes  (DeepMind)

  • Natasha Jaques  (Google Brain, UC Berkeley)

  • Kalesha Bullard  (Facebook AI Research)

  • Noam Brown  (Facebook AI Research)


Speakers and Panelists:

  • Allen Dafoe  (Oxford, DeepMind)

  • Nika Haghtalab (Berkeley)

  • Dorsa Sadigh (Stanford)

  • Chris Amato (Northeastern U)

  • Elizabeth Adams (Stanford)

  • Fei Fang (CMU)

  • Michael Tomasello (Max Planck)


Mentorship program: This year, we are offering a mentorship program in which junior researchers who plan to submit a paper to the workshop can sign-up to be paired with a senior researcher with expertise that could benefit the paper. The senior researcher will provide 1-2 hours of feedback on the research method and paper.  Any junior researcher (< 3 years of PhD) is welcome to apply, but we will prioritize matching those from underrepresented groups if there are not enough mentors.  We currently have more mentees than mentors, so if you are a researcher with experience in any of the relevant topics, please consider signing up to mentor!


If you have any questions about the workshop, please do reach out to cooper...@gmail.com, and one of the organizers will be in touch.


Best,

Kalesha, on behalf of the Organizing Committee
