Achieving a pragmatic, or even an ecological validation (Cabitza and Zeitoun, 2019) of medical AI systems that nevertheless exhibit very high (statistical) accuracy has been observed to be more complicated than initially expected (Coiera et al. 2018): in fact, most of the challenges that make technically sound systems perform poorly in real-world settings lie in the so called “last mile of implementation” (Coiera, 2019). This evocative concept expresses the semantic difference between developing medical machine learning (or medical AI) and the mere application of machine learning techniques to medical data. Moreover, we will make the point that the space bewtween machine learning development and clinical practice, is not a flat and regular path, but rather presents two chasms: the chasm of human trust, and the chasm of machine experience. The former one requires to focus on usability and explainability, while the latter ones requires data governance and to focus on data work, including practice of “data awareness” and “data hygiene”. I will discuss these notions, and report about some researches I personally conducted while trying to bridge the above chasms with mixed fortunes: what we recognize as still open problems are exciting opportunities to look at a seemingly established field from a fresh perspective (the interactionist perspective) and develop solutions that focus on the utility of the technology rather than following the mirage of accuracy.

**Dear Colleagues,**

Welcome to the 43rd Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society! 

This year’s conference brings together the latest research from all Cognitive Science and also highlights this year’s theme **Comparative Cognition: Animal Minds.** 

The program features four plenary speakers: Friederike Range (University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna), Onur Güntürkün (Ruhr University Bochum), Julia Fischer (University of Göttingen), and Erich Jarvis (The Rockefeller University). The keynotes and invited symposia showcase the broad spectrum of ideas that encompass the conference theme of comparative cognition. 

Further, the program includes the Rumelhart Prize keynote presentation by Susan Goldin-Meadow (University of Chicago), and symposia to celebrate the winner of the Elman Prize: Wei Ji Ma (New York University), the Heineken Award winner Robert Zatorre (McGill University), and the Robert J. Glushko Dissertation Prizes session.

The program committee for CogSci 2021 received 1,025 submissions, including 710 full papers, 275 member abstracts, 8 publication-based talks, as well as 15 proposals for symposia, and 17 for workshops and tutorials. After a rigorous review process, the committee selected 152 papers for oral presentation and inclusion in the conference proceedings (14.8%), 332 papers for poster presentation and inclusion in the proceedings (32.4%), and 175 papers for poster presentation with inclusion of abstracts in the proceedings (17.1%) We also selected 275 submitted member abstracts. In addition, we accepted 6 publication-based talks, 12 symposia, and 9 workshops and tutorials to make for an exciting and inclusive program.

We hope that you enjoy the conference this year!<br><br>

CogSci 2021

The Cognitive Science Society brings together researchers from around the world who hold a common goal: understanding the nature of the human mind. The mission of the Society is to promote Cognitive Science as a discipline, and to foster scientific interchange among researchers in various areas of study, including Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Anthropology, Psychology, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Education. The Society is a non-profit professional organization and its activities include sponsoring an annual conference and publishing the journals Cognitive Science and TopiCS.

Wirewalking over Two Medical AI Chasms: Results and Open Problems in Making "Valid AI" Also Useful in Medical Practice

keynote

The purpose of BIOSTEC is to bring together researchers and practitioners, including engineers, biologists, health professionals and informatics/computer scientists, interested in both theoretical advances and applications of information systems, artificial intelligence, signal processing, electronics and other engineering tools in knowledge areas related to biology and medicine.

Healthcare systems are struggling with sustainability and accessibility to populations, worldwide. As resources are finite, the concern with identifying treatments that bring the higher value to patients and to society is rising a global movement of Value-based Healthcare (VBHC). Measuring outcomes and costs to achieve those outcomes is a starting point to measure value in Health. Remote patient monitoring technologies and data science are very relevant to capture outcomes that are relevant to patients and to make healthcare more accessible and sustainable, as also more accountable.I will present the topic of VBHC and introduce to opportunities for biomedical engineers to contribute for the development of technologies of high-value in healthcare. Two case-studies will be presented related to the contexts of cardiac surgery and emergency hospital services.
