Dear Cheerful Logicians, We're very pleased to announce that Hannes Leitgeb will be giving us a talk this week. Details are below. Before we get there, a few notes: first, this talk is at a time that, while more convenient for our European fans, is quite likely impossibly *in*convenient for our Australasian fans. As a consolation prize for those who are going to be missing the talk, we will be recording it. Details about how to access the recording will be available later.
Also, we will be updating the supergroup calendar with events hosted by some of our partner organizations at some point. This is something we'd hoped to have done already. But both Marcus and I have semesters that are coming to an end at the moment, so we've found ourselves a bit too swamped to get round to this job. Nonetheless, the enterprising among you should be able to find the events by following one or another of the various links on the supergroup website: https://logic.uconn.edu/supergroup/. And now, to the details of the event: *Speaker: *Hannes Leitgeb (Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy) *Date and Time: *Friday, 7 May, at 9:00 Kansas Time (GMT-5); 16:00 Munich Time (GMT+2) *Zoom Link: *https://ksu.zoom.us/j/96921449322 *Title: *On the Logic of Vector Space Models *Abstract: *This talk will introduce a new logical system in which formulas represent “effects” (e.g. of argumentation), such that these “effects” correspond formally to vectors. In a slogan: content is a vector. The logic involves a deductive system, a semantics with an appropriate notion of logical consequence, and extensions to similarity, inductive logic, and belief revision. The resulting system may be interpreted in probabilistic terms, and it can be applied to logically reconstruct some well-known problems and methods from cognitive psychology, computational linguistics, and machine learning. Yay for logic! We hope to see many of you there! Shay and Marcus -- Você está recebendo esta mensagem porque se inscreveu no grupo "LOGICA-L" dos Grupos do Google.
