31 May - 2 June 2018, Colloquium on Reasoning in Social Context, Amsterdam
This colloquium addresses the design and use of models to represent the beliefs and knowledge of agents as well as changes in the beliefs and knowledge of social communities.
The colloquium unites researchers who use a variety of formal tools to study the process of belief formation, belief revision and knowledge updating in social communities. We focus on multi-agent scenarios centered around topics such as belief merge, social-epistemic influence, group knowledge, and belief-polarisation.
Our approach will be interdisciplinary in nature and brings together insights originating from Logic, Game Theory, Belief Revision Theory, Formal Epistemology, Social Science, Network Theory, Cognitive Science and AI.
1 June 2018, Lecture in Philosophy of Science, Edouard Machery
In Benjamin et al. (2017) we proposed to cut the significance level by an order of magnitude in order to address some aspects of the replication crisis in psychology and other sciences. This paper has been widely discussed, often in a critical manner. In this talk, I will respond to some of the responses to our proposal.
Please note that registration is required.

6 June 2018, Amsterdam Metaphysics Seminar, Katrin Schulz
6 June 2018, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, Jouke Witteveen
Classically, complexity theory focuses on the hardest instances of a given length. A set is in P if there is a decision procedure for it that runs in polynomial time even on the most difficult-to-decide instances. Parameterized complexity theory, on the other hand, looks at the identification of easy instances. In this talk, we shall define parameterizations as independent objects and show that the class of parameterizations naturally forms a lattice. The parameterizations that put a given set in any of the standard parameterized complexity classes are filters in this lattice. From these insights, we conjecture a separation property for P.

13 June 2018, CoSaQ seminar, Michael Glanzberg
14 June 2018, Workshop on algebra and duality in non-classical logic
The workshop precedes Julia Ilin's PhD defense (June 15, 12h, Agnietenkapel). We will hear talks by the committee members and other experts from the field. The theme of the workshop is the application of universal algebra and topological dualities in the study of non-classical logics.
14 June 2018, DIP Colloquium, Michael Glanzberg
14 June 2018, Spinoza Lectures, Susan Wolf
Abstract:
Since at least the seventeenth century, philosophers have distinguished membership in the species homo sapiens from moral personhood, a category which they take to be of considerable ethical and practical significance. But there are other non-biological features that are of ethical and practical significance as well, suggesting that there is an ethical, non-biological conception of humanity that is different from the standard philosophical understanding of moral personhood. After reflecting on the benefits and dangers of focusing attention on the idea of “the distinctively human,” the lecture explores the variety of features and capacities that distinguish “selves like us” from lower animals, artificially intelligent machines, and possibly imaginary divine and extra-terrestrial rational individuals.

20 June 2018, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, Guram Bezhanishvili
Abstract:
De Vries duality yields a dual equivalence between the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and a category of complete Boolean algebras with a proximity relation on them, known as de Vries algebras. I will report on a recent joint work with Pat Morandi and Bruce Olberding on how to extend de Vries duality to completely regular spaces by replacing the category of de Vries algebras with certain extensions of de Vries algebras. This we do by first formulating a duality between compactifications and de Vries extensions, and then specializing to the extensions that correspond to Stone-Čech compactifications.

29 June 2018, ABC Networking Day: Connecting ABC treasures
As organizers of this year’s ABC Day we want to provide you with the opportunity to discover all research treasures that ABC is hiding, and build bridges to connect the involved researchers. This format is radically different form the former ‘Brain Day’, as the majority of the audience were typically students from the ABC Summer School. This time, especially researchers (PhDs, post-docs, assistant/associate/full professors) are invited to attend and actively participate.
The day will consist of four elements:
- ABC Mission Statement
- Department highlights
- Pitch talks
- Drinks and bites
