[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Online CDC Seminar: Fei Xu (UC Berkley) Wednesday, November 20, 3pm

by Anna Kispal

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk. Please note that the talk exceptionally starts at 3 pm. Fei Xu<https://psychology.berkeley.edu/people/fei-xu> (UC Berkley) Title: Learning in Early Development: Probabilistic, Logical, and Compositional Mechanisms Abstract: Much research in our lab has focused on mechanisms of learning in infants and young children in the last couple of decades. Here I will discuss (1) a body of work demonstrating the use of probabilistic learning mechanisms in young learners, and (2) more recent research investigating logical reasoning mechanisms and compositional mechanisms. The latter is also concerned with the origin of abstract concepts and the language of thought hypothesis. Date: Wednesday, November 20, 2024 Time: 3 pm (to 4:30 pm) CET Venue: Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, passcode: 471712) Chair: Ernő Téglás Best, Anna ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu

[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>.

[Koglist] DUCOG 2025 – Understanding the Self and the Other

by DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science

Dear All, We are pleased to announce the XVI. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science devoted to Understanding the Self and the Other. The conference will take place between *22 and 25 May 2025* in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Distinguishing oneself from others is a precursor to the development of many social skills, including coordination and communication. Representing others’ perspectives, while still distinguishing it from our own is an essential part of human interactions, and therefore of our mental lives. This supports our understanding of ourselves and others around us – it helps us make sense of what we are doing, make predictions, and plan our subsequent actions appropriately. How do we learn to distinguish our bodies and minds from those of other people, and what are the mechanisms and relation between understanding ourselves and others? In this conference, we will bring together researchers that have attempted to address this broad question from different angles such as social-, developmental- and comparative cognition and philosophy, to explore the topic of how we understand and distinguish our own and others’ intentions, actions, thoughts, and ultimately, self and other. *Invited speakers will include:* Josep Call (University of St Andrews) Senay Cebioglu (MPI EVA) Arvid Guterstam (Karolinska Institutet) Marlene Meyer (Radboud University) Elisabeth Pacherie (Institut Jean-Nicod, CNRS, EHESS, ENS-PSL) Philippe Rochat (Emory University) For more information please visit https://ducog.cecog.eu or email us at: ducog(a)cecog.eu *Poster abstract submissions will be open between 1 January and 28 February 2025.* On behalf of the organisers, *Louise Goupil (CNRS / University Grenoble Alpes) & Dora Kampis (University of Copenhagen)* *- Conference chairs*

[Koglist] Fwd: Invitation - Katalin Balog: Consciousness, Illusion, and Value - 30 October, 12:30 p.m.

by Gergely Csibra

Begin forwarded message: From: Agnes Bendik <BendikAg(a)ceu.edu> Subject: Invitation - Katalin Balog: Consciousness, Illusion, and Value - 30 October, 12:30 p.m. Date: 21 October 2024 at 13:22:30 GMT+2 The Institute for Advanced Study at CEU is pleased to invite you to the next lecture in the Institute`s Wednesday Seminars Katalin Balog Senior Core Fellow at IAS CEU Consciousness, Illusion, and Value Wednesday, 30 October, 12:30 p.m. Nádor u. 15, Room 103 (Tiered Room) and online The belief that we are conscious is the last remnant of the premodern concept of the mind. Not so long ago, most people in the West thought of the body as mortal flesh commanded by the soul. They thought of the soul as immortal, free in its action, and exempt from the laws of nature. Creativity and intelligence were believed to be traits of the soul that no mere mechanism could replicate. But over the course of the last couple of hundred years, and especially in the 20th century, it has become common understanding that all of our behavior has a purely physical explanation and, as the principle of the causal completeness of physics became mainstream among philosophers and scientists, it also became common understanding that all of our behavior has a purely physical explanation. There is not much about the premodern conception that survived these changes except the view that we are conscious, i.e., that there is something it is like to be us, of which we can be directly aware. It is precisely this view that has come under attack lately by a movement that their adherents in philosophy, neuroscience, and AI call ‘illusionism’. According to illusionism, the qualitative character of our experience that we seem to be directly aware of is a mere illusion. It appears to be an innocent theoretical claim; however, I argue that it has potent practical consequences regarding what we value and how we relate to human beings that demand consideration. [image001.jpg] Image: Digital Asset Library, Rutgers University Katalin Balog is a philosopher of mind interested in the self, consciousness, subjectivity, and value, as well as the history of these concepts. She writes scholarly articles and essays for a general audience. Her public-facing work has appeared in The New York Times and in the magazine 3 Quarks Daily. Currently she is working on a book called What is left of the mind. She has come to the US to study philosophy from her native Budapest in 1989. Katalin Balog got her PhD at Rutgers, New Brunswick, she has been teaching at Rutgers University–Newark since 2010, before that, she taught at Yale for 10 years.
