Cognitive Innovation, Irony and Collaboration

Can Cognitive Scientists Help Computers Recognize Irony?

This workshop aims to bring together researchers in cognitive science and computer science with a shared interest in irony. Irony detection is an especially difficult problem for natural language processing. Unlike other types of classification tasks, the difficulty of identifying irony is not alleviated by ‘throwing more data’ at the problem. Rather, it seems a different kind of data is needed...

Creativity, Innovation, and E-Collaboration

IT–endowed collaboration within and between groups will catalyze creativity, which in turn will facilitate multidisciplinary innovation and reduce barriers and inefficiencies among people working together. This article describes the challenges of supporting creativity and innovation through e-collaboration, and summarizes the papers that were accepted for a special issue of the International Jo...

Innovation through Global Collaboration
