Together with Prof. Fabio Cuzzolin (Oxford Brookes University, UK), Prof. Barbara Jacquelyn Sahakian (University of Cambridge, UK) and Dr. Christelle Langley (University of Cambridge, UK), we are organizing a special issue (Frontiers Research Topic) on the emerging topic of “Theory of Mind in Humans and in Machines” under the “Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence” and “Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience” journals. We would like to invite you to contribute articles to the Research Topic. For more information on this special issue, please visit the website at https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/16802/theory-of-mind-in-humans-and-in-machines

Papers may be submitted until the 30th of July 2021 (manuscript submission extended deadline). Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send a short abstract (via the platform) to ensure compliance with the topic and scope of the Frontiers journals as early as possible.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, theoretical proposals, computational experiments, and case studies of:

• Computational Theory of Mind

• Learning from Demonstrations

• Cognitive Models for Learning from Demonstration and Planning

• Neuroscience-inspired models of Theory of Mind

• Human-Robot Interaction

• Cooperative Inverse Reinforcement Learning (assistance games)

• Learning from Preferences

If you intend to send an article to the special issue, please do let us know by hitting the “Participate” button in the web interface.

If you have any questions or need any kind of assistance from us, please do not hesitate to let us know.
