20 March 2017, AUC Logic Lectures, Katrin Schulz
When we encounter paradoxes, we apply a specific method to overcome them: Logical Analysis. I will argue in my talk that this method is a very useful tool to have in your toolbox, no matter what your particular academic discipline is. We will practice this method studying logical paradoxes and see the power of this method in broadening our understanding of paradoxes and logic in general. But can we overcome the logical paradoxes? Well, lets try.
21 March 2017, Talks on Predictive processing and computational models of cognition
To warm up for Andy Clark's afternoon lecture, five young researchers from various disciplines will talk about topics related to predictive processing and computational models of cognition.
The morning is divided into two parts: the first half consists of two talks in a row followed by 20 minutes for questions and discussion. After a coffee-break, we continue with another three talks followed by 30 minutes for questions and discussion. Everyone is of course warmly invited to participate in the discussion.
The full programme can be found here. To participate, please send an email to Bastiaan van der Weij.
21 March 2017, Busting Out: Two Takes on the Predictive Brain, Andy Clark
Recent work in computational and cognitive neuroscience depicts the brain as an ever-active prediction machine. In this talk, I contrast two ways of understanding the implied vision of mind. One way (Conservative Predictive Processing) depicts the predictive brain as an insulated inner arena populated by representations so rich and reconstructive as to enable the organism to ‘throw away the world’. The other (Radical Predictive Processing) stresses processes of circular causal influence linking brain, body, and world. Such processes can deliver fast and frugal, action-involving solutions of the kind often highlighted by work in robotics and embodied cognition, nesting them within a structured, uncertainty-modulated, knowledge-base that remains firmly rooted in sensory experience. This delivers a broader, profoundly embodied, and more ‘cybernetic’ vision of predictive processing. But it raises deep and important questions concerning how best to understand the core notions of prediction and prediction error minimization themselves.
23 March 2017, Workshop on intonation and pragmatics, on the occasion of the defense of Matthijs Westera
I'm very happy that my three external committee members will give talks at the ILLC! They are:
- Craige Roberts (NYU/Rutgers)
- Michael Wagner (McGill)
- Jörg Peters (Oldenburg)
Topics will include focus/prominence in natural language, the tone inventories of languages like Dutch, German and English, experimental work on intonation, and of course pragmatics.
Precise program TBA.

27 - 28 March 2017, Asymmetry in Causal Inference and Conditional Reasoning
This workshop explores the relation between causal inference and conditional/counterfactual inference. We will focus in particular on the asymmetric nature of both types of inference. We bring together expertise from philosophy, psychology and artificial intelligence to address the following questions:
- How to account for the relative ease of causal inference (reasoning from cause to effect) compared to diagnostic inference (reasoning from effect to cause)?
- Do we have to distinguish different reasoning strategies to interpret conditional sentences and how does this relate to the distinction between causal inference and diagnostic inference?
- Are Causal Models appropriate to account for 1. and for the analysis of conditionals?
