1 April 2016, Dutch Social Choice Colloquium
This edition of the Dutch Social Choice Colloquium will feature invited talks by Hannu Nurmi (Turku), Ali Ihsan Ozkes (Marseille), and Daniele Porello (Trento) on voting paradoxes, behavioural assumptions in models of strategic thinking, and a cognitively inspired approach to deliberation. All welcome.

1 April 2016, Music Cognition Reading Group
We'll discuss a recent paper by Bregman et al. (2016): "Songbirds use spectral shape, not pitch, for sound pattern recognition". For a good introduction to the topic, see Shannon (in press): "Is Birdsong more like speech or music?".

8 April 2016, ACLC Seminar, Naomi Feldman
Children have impressive statistical learning abilities. In phonetic category acquisition, for example, they are sensitive to the distributional properties of sounds in their input. However, knowing that children have statistical learning abilities is only a small part of understanding how they make use of their input during language acquisition. This work uses Bayesian models to examine three basic assumptions that go into statistical learning theories: the structure of learners' hypothesis space, the way in which input data are sampled, and the features of the input that learners attend to. Simulations show that although a naive view of statistical learning may not support robust phonetic category acquisition, there are several ways in which learners can potentially benefit by leveraging the rich statistical structure of their input.

8 April 2016, Ace Venture Lab presentation
ACE Venture Lab is an initiative by the Amsterdam Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE) to propel science and tech based startups to create new jobs and economic prosperity in the Amsterdam region. ACE is a collaboration between the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the VU University, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) and the Amsterdam School of Arts (AHK). ACE stimulates entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial behavior by students and performs research towards successful entrepreneurship.
On Friday 8 April 2016, a representative of Ace Ventures Lab will come to the ILLC to present their activities, in particular the Bootcamp - a fully sponsored intensive training program for researchers, senior scientists and MSc students.
