Title: Standardizing mean differences: A cautionary tale from a rational choice perspective Abstract: In applied areas of science such as education research or medicine, researchers often report the effect sizes of tested interventions to inform people aiming to decide between these interventions. For continuous outcome variables (such as depression or literacy skills), researchers measure an […]
Title: Partial Communication (and, if time allows, Arbitrary Partial Communication) Abstract: While the paradigmatic dynamic epistemic logic (DEL) allows us to reason about agents receiving information from an external source (Public Announcement Logic as well as the Action Models framework), communication within groups of agents has lately become interesting for researchers in the area. This talk discusses […]
Title: E is the New P Abstract: How much evidence do the data give us about one hypothesis versus another? The standard way to measure evidence is still the p-value, despite a myriad of problems surrounding it. In this talk I will provide a gentle introduction to the e-value (wikipedia), a recently popularized notion of evidence which overcomes some […]
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 […]
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 […]
Leonardo Ceragioli will present “Proof-theoretic semantics and anti-exceptionalism” at the workshop Realism and anti-realism. Paradigms and research programmes in logic and the philosophy of mathematics, held at the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker-Center of the University of Tübingen on April 28th-29th, 2025. Abstract. In my seminar, I will explore the potential for integrating proof-theoretic semantics with […]
Ekaterina Kubyshkina will present “A Hyperintensional Setting for Ignorance” at the PhilMath seminar, hosted by the IHPST at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (France), on March 4th at 14:00. Abstract: In our presentation, we propose an analysis of ignorance as a hyperintensional notion. In situations where two propositions are logically equivalent, an agent may […]
Title: Bias in asking for a second expert’s opinion (joint work with Barbara Osimani, Michal Sikorski and Zhitao Zhang) Abstract: In science, policy, and everyday life it is often advantageous to ask for a second expert’s opinion. Intuitively, it seems beneficial to provide the second expert with some background information, including the fact that there was […]
Esther Corsi will present a talk “What Game are we Playing? A Game-Theoretic Approach to Data Bias and Machine Learning Unfairness” at the CSL 2025 Workshop on Learning and Logic (LeaLog@CSL) on February 10, 2025.
Giuseppe Primiero is an invited speaker at the 2nd Edition of the Workshop on Emerging ICT Trends & Applications (WEITA 2025), dedicated to the theme: “Explainable, Interpretable, and Trustworthy AI: Methods, Challenges, and Applications.”
