Hello Everyone!
Below and linked find the info about the 4th Meeting of the Budapest
Mind Society, which will have Prof. Crane from London as its
protagonist.
Note that from November 2004 on the sessions will be chaired by -and
information about the activities of BMS will be avalilable from- Andras
Simonyi simka(a)ludens.elte.hu , as both Hong Yu Wong and Istvan Aranyosi,
who founded this group, will have left Hungary by then.

Professor Tim Crane, Philosophy, University College London
'The efficacy of colour, shape and size'
10 November, Wednesday, 2004, 5 PM, Dept. of Philosophy, CEU, Zrinyi
14, #412.
Asbtract:
This paper presents an antinomy about the role of properties in
causation. If we think of causation in terms of counterfactual
dependence, then there is a persuasive case (made, for example, by
Stephen Yablo) for thinking that determinable properties (like redness)
can be causes. But on the other hand, if we think of properties as the
'truth-makers' for predications, then it is arguable that only
determinate properties (maximally specific shades of colour) are
causes. But these claims cannot both be true; which should we deny?

Everybody welcome! I will send a reminder a few days before the talk.
Cheers

Enrich Impact Measures Through Open Access Analysis
(Or: "Let's Dumb-Up Impact Factors")
Stevan Harnad
The "journal impact factor" -- the average number of citations
received by the articles in a journal -- is not an *invalid* instrument,
but a blunt (and obsolescent) one. It does have some meaning and some
predictive value (i.e., it is not merely a circular "definition" of
impact), but we can do far better. Research impact evaluation should
be thought of in multiple-regression terms: The journal impact factor
is just one of many potential predictive factors, each with its own
weight, and each adding a certain amount to the accuracy of the
prediction/evaluation.
The journal impact factor is the first of the regression weights, but
not because it is the biggest or strongest, but just because it came
first in time: Gene Garfield (1955, 1999) and the Institute for
Scientific Information (ISI) started to count citations (and citation
immediacy, and other data) and produced an index of the average
(2-year) citation counts of journals -- as well as the individual
citation counts of articles and authors.
The fact that unenterprising and unreflecting evaluation committees
found it easier to simply weight their researchers' publication counts
with the impact factors of the journals in which they appeared was due
in equal parts to laziness and to the valid observation that journal
impact factors *do* correlate, even if weakly, with journals' rejection
rates, hence with the rigour of their peer review, and hence with the
quality of their contents:
"High citation rates... and low manuscript acceptance rates...
appear to be predictive of higher methodological quality scores for
journal articles" (Lee et al. 2002)
"The majority of the manuscripts that were rejected... were eventually
published... in specialty journals with lower impact factor..." (Ray
et al. 2000)
"perceived quality ratings of the journals are positively correlated
with citation impact factors... and negatively correlated with
acceptance rate." (Donohue & Fox 2000)
"There was a high correlation between the rejection rate and the
impact factor" (Yamasaki 1995)
But even then, the article and author exact citation counts could have
been added to the regression equation -- yet only lately are
evaluation committees beginning to do this. Why? Again, laziness and
unenterprisingness, but also effort and cost: An institution needs to
be subscribed to ISI's citation databases and needs to take the
trouble to consult them systematically.
But other measures -- richer and more diverse ones -- are developing,
and with them the possibility of ever more powerful, accurate and
equitable assessment and prediction of research performance and impact
(Harnad et al. 2004). These measures (e.g. citebase
http://citebase.eprints.org/) include: citation counts for article,
author, and journal; download counts for article, author and journal;
co-citation counts (who is jointly cited with whom?); eventually
co-download counts (what is being downloaded with what?); analogs of
google's "page-rank" algorithm (recursively weighting citations by the
weight of the citing work); "hub/authority" analysis (much-cited vs.
much-citing works); co-text "semantic" analysis (what -- and whose --
text patterns resemble the cited work?); early-days download/citation
correlations (http://citebase.eprints.org/analysis/correlation.php)
(downloads today predict citations citations in two years (Harnad &
Brody 2004); time-series analyses; and much more.
So the ISI journal-impact factor is merely a tiny dumbed-down portion
of the rich emerging spectrum of objective impact indicators; it now
needs to be dumbed-up, not dumped! Two things need to be kept in mind
in making pronouncements about the use of such performance indicators:
(i) Consider the alternative! The reason we resort to objective
measures at all is that reading and evaluating every single work
anew each time it needs to be evaluated is not only subjective
but labour-intensive, and requires at least the level of expertise
and scrutiny that (one hopes!) the journal peer review itself has
accorded the work once already, in a world in which qualified
refereeing time is an increasingly scarce, freely-given resource,
stolen from researchers' own precious research time. Citations (and
downloads) indicate that researchers have found the work in question
useful in their own research.
(ii) The many new forms of impact analysis can now be done
automatically, without having to rely on ISI -- if and when
researchers make all their journal articles Open Access, by
self-archiving them in OAI compliant Eprint Archives on the
Web. Remarkable new scientometric engines are just waiting for that
open database to be provided in order to add the rich new panoply
of impact measures promised above (Harnad et al. 2003).

Dr. Zoltán Jakab, Cognitive Science, Budapesti Mûszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem (Technical University Budapest)
"Perceptual content: an objection to externalism"
October 20, 2004, 5 PM, Department of Philosophy, CEU, Zrínyi utca 14, 4th floor, room 412.
ABSTRACT:
I start by arguing for one important difference between visual perception of shape and that of color. Visual representation of shapes is compositional, whereas that of colors is representationally atomic. This difference explains a few other features of visual perception. The first is that shape is absolute whereas color is relative, even though both shapes and colors are reasonably taken to be physical properties. The second is that vision is revelatory with respect to shape and space but it is not revelatory with respect to color. Finally, there is one way in which shape perception is normative, and color perception is not. Shape percepts encode the structure of the corresponding stimuli, and this imposes constraints on which percept can correctly track which stimulus. There is no such constraint in color perception, due to the fact that color percepts are representationally atomic.This picture in turn gives rise to an anti-externalist argument about perceptual content which, in my opinion, is quite compelling.
