I'm honoured to announce that I've recently joined one of the premier science and research organisations in Asia - A*STAR! I'm working to set up a new research group at the Institute of High Performance Computing (Social & Cognitive Computing department) focused on music cognition, exploring such topics as musical memory, computational modelling & AI, and music technology for healthcare.
My profile may be found here: www.a-star.edu.sg/ihpc/People/tid/376/Kat-Agres.aspx

The International Workshop on Deep Learning for Music (DLM 2017) is now accepting submissions!
I am pleased to announce that I have been invited to be a speaker, as an interdisciplinary (cognitive science) voice in the mix.
Details may be found *here*.

Our trance paper (behavioral psychology + computational modeling of music perception) is now out! Paper is free to read/download... click *here* to read about how the harmonic structure of trance music influences our enjoyment of the music.

The workshop will pave the way for a new interdisciplinary research direction: Creativity Science. It gathers the world-leading researchers in computational creativity specialising in a number of application areas, such as visual art, language, mathematics, and music. Methodologically, creativity will be modelled using computational frameworks based on cognitively inspired and psychologically informed theories such as, for example, analogy and conceptual blending.

I'm very much looking forward to the Workshop on metaphor generation, conceptual spaces, and more at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia!

Tomorrow is the ICCBR-15 Workshop on Experience and Creativity in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, where I will be presenting a talk entitled, "Schematic processing as a framework for learning and creativity in CBR and CC." The workshop promises to be very stimulating!

Next week I will be presenting a talk entitled 'Conceptualizing Creativity: From Distributional Semantics to Conceptual Spaces' at the Sixth International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC 2015, in Park City, Utah.
