Szevasztok, az alabbi levelet kuldtem Prof. Margitay Tihamernak. Ha valaki az egesszel vagy egy reszevel nem ert egyet, at is veheti (reszleteket megbeszeljuk), nem ragaszkodom a megszunesehez igy 20+ ev utan, de en nem kivanom folytatni. udv kgy > Anfang der weitergeleiteten Nachricht: > > Von: George Kampis <kampis.george(a)gmail.com> > Betreff: MAKOG megszunese > Datum: 9.

[Koglist] Reminder: Logic and Philosophy of Science Seminar, Fabio Lampert

by Gömöri Márton

Logic and Philosophy of Science Seminar Department of Logic, Institute of Philosophy Eötvös Loránd University Budapest Múzeum krt. 4/i Room 224 _____________________________________________ P R O G R A M The seminar is held in hybrid format, in person (Múzeum krt. 4/i Room 224) and online. Zoom Meeting link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/889933315?pwd=Q3U3V3VQdXpXckhJYWRrcWRiMUhhQT09 8 November (Friday) 4:15 - 6:15 PM Room 224 + ONLINE Fabio Lampert Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna A priori knowledge and our limits Abstract: There is a venerable argument stated and defended in multiple ways, since the Early Middle Ages, which attempts to show that there is no free will or moral responsibility if human actions were infallibly predicted in the past – by a divine being, supercomputer, or what have you. The Spanish philosopher and theologian Luis de Molina (1535-1600) formulated one of the clearest versions of this argument, only to reject its main inferential move without any argument. For this reason, Molina’s ’solution’ to the puzzle was by and large ignored. I will argue, however, that technology stemming from the works of Saul Kripke (in particular, the thesis of the necessity of identity and some instances of contingent a priori knowledge) provides the tools to generate an argument motivating the Molinist solution to the puzzle in question. Molina didn’t have an argument because he didn’t have Kripke. But we did. ______________________________ Seminar website: http://lps.elte.hu/lps The seminar is open to everyone, including students, visitors, and faculty members from all departments and institutes! Format: 60 minute lecture, coffee break, 60 minute discussion. Organizers: Márton Gömöri and Zalán Molnár

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Budapest Computational Neuroscience Forum: József Konczer, 5 November, 17:30

by Ildiko Zsoka Varga

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Center for Cognitive Computation (CCC) invites you to the upcoming event of the Budapest Computational Neuroscience Forum<https://ccc.ceu.edu/budapest-computational-neuroscience-forum>. Speaker: József Konczer<https://konczer.github.io/> Title: Statistical Games, Playful approach to statistics Abstract: This work contains the mathematical exploration of a few prototypical games in which central concepts from statistics and probability theory naturally emerge. The first two kinds of games are termed Fisher and Bayesian games, which are connected to Frequentist and Bayesian statistics, respectively. Later, a more general type of game is introduced, termed Statistical game, in which a further parameter, the players' relative risk aversion, can be set. In this work, we show that Fisher and Bayesian games can be viewed as limiting cases of Statistical games. Therefore, Statistical games can be viewed as a unified framework, incorporating both Frequentist and Bayesian statistics. Furthermore, a philosophical framework is (re-)presented -- often referred to as minimax regret criterion -- as a general approach to decision making. The main motivation for this work was to embed Bayesian statistics into a broader decision-making framework, where, based on collected data, actions with consequences have to be made, which can be translated to utilities (or rewards/losses) of the decision-maker. The work starts with the simplest possible toy model, related to hypothesis testing and statistical inference. This choice has two main benefits: i.) it allows us to determine (conjecture) the behaviour of the equilibrium strategies in various limiting cases ii.) this way, we can introduce Statistical games without requiring additional stochastic parameters. The work contains game theoretical methods related to two-player, non-cooperative games to determine and prove equilibrium strategies of Fisher, Bayesian and Statistical games. It also relies on analytical tools for derivations concerning various limiting cases. Time: 17:30 Tuesday, 5 November 2024. Location: CEU Budapest (1051 Budapest, Nádor u. 15.) N15. room 203. Zoom: Meeting ID: 976 1541 3014<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/97615413014?pwd=BbaIDK56amazlaex84ukFP3MEurhMX.1> Passcode: 525888 Should you have any inquiries about the series, please contact Mihály Bányai<mailto:mihaly.s.banyai@gmail.com>.
