Title: The heuristic use of conditionalisation Abstract: This paper argues that Bayesian conditionalisation should not be viewed as a universal norm of updating, but rather as a heuristic principle that is helpful in some circumstances but fails in others. I go on to show that the heuristic use of conditionalisation can be validated by an […]

Talk by Marianna Girlando at LUCI seminar


Title: Conditional logics and labelled proof systems (an introduction) Abstract: Conditional logics, as introduced by David Lewis in 1973, enrich the language of classical propositional logic with a two-places modal operator, the conditional, suitable to represent fine-grained notions of conditionality. After introducing conditional logics and their semantics, that I will define in terms of neighborhood […]

Intuitively, it seems beneficial to provide the second expert with some background information, including the fact that there was […]

Title: Building Trustworthy Autonomous Systems under Uncertainty: a Probabilistic Approach to Ethical Decision-Making Abstract: Autonomous systems, such as driverless cars and drones, are increasingly deployedacross various fields, promising significant socioeconomic benefits. However, thesesystems − especially fully autonomous ones − raise concerns regarding safety, ethics,and compliance with legal and social norms. Trustworthy autonomous systems must demonstrate […]
