3 June 2024, Nordic Online Logic Seminar, Ivano Ciardelli
The Nordic Online Logic Seminar (NOL Seminar) is organised monthly over Zoom, with expository talks on topics of interest for the broader logic community. The seminar is open for professional or aspiring logicians and logic aficionados worldwide.
See the announcement for the next talk below. If you wish to receive the Zoom ID and password for it, as well as further announcements, please subscribe here: https://listserv.gu.se/sympa/subscribe/nordiclogic.
4 June 2024, Virtual Ethical Innovation Lecture Series, Markus Gottschling
The upcoming Virtual Ethical Innovation Lecture Series (hosted by the Ethical Innovation Hub of the University of Lübeck, Germany) will feature a diverse lineup of speakers addressing critical topics at the intersection of ethics and innovation with a particular focus on issues of artificial intelligence. Each session will consist of a short talk and a pen Q&A session.
5 June 2024, LLAMA seminar, Lutz Schröder
5 June 2024, Joint NiHil-DIP Session, Guillermo Del Pinal
7 June 2024, ILLC Open Day and Reunion
On June 7th, the ILLC will organise an Open Day, similar to the open day held in 2019. The Open Day will be followed by an ILLC Reunion for all former and current staff and students.
Click here for the program and latest updates about both events and to register for the reunion.
10 - 12 June 2024, Workshop "Using Artificial Neural Networks for Studying Human Language Learning and Processing"
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have proven to be powerful learning devices for language-related tasks, as demonstrated by recent progress in artificial intelligence driven by large, Transformer-based language models. But how can ANNs inform us about human language learning and processing? Our three-day workshop brings together researchers working on cognitively motivated and linguistic questions in studying the language processing mechanisms and learning trajectories of ANNs.
For the first two days of the programme, we hope to stimulate discussion on the workshop theme through contributed presentations from our workshop participants and keynote speakers. The final day is focussed on active interactions and collaboration between participants, through small-scale tutorials and joint group work on a collaborative task.

14 June 2024, EDEV Online Seminar, Antonio Yuste Ginel
The EDEV Online Seminars are part of the PRO3 project "Understanding Public Data: Experts, Decisions, Epistemic Values" promoted by SNS Pisa, IMT Lucca and IUSS Pavia. The project aims to explore the scaffoldings of the epistemological framework, which underlies public decision-making when confronted with complex scientific data. The methodological assumption underlying the project is that the tools provided by logic, epistemology, philosophy of science, and critical reasoning can make a substantial contribution to a number of pressing issues.
14 June 2024, FOAM Seminar, Bernhard Nebel
Abstract:
“Multi-agent pathfinding”, also called “pebble motion on graphs” or “cooperative pathfinding”, is the problem of deciding the existence of or generating a collision-free movement plan for a set of agents moving on a graph. While the non-optimizing variant of multi-agent pathfinding on undirected graphs is known to be a polynomial-time problem since forty years, a similar result for directed graphs was missing. In the talk, it will be shown that this problem is NP-complete. For strongly connected directed graphs, however, the problem is polynomial. And both of these results hold even if one allows for synchronous rotations on fully occupied cycles.
14 June 2024, DIP Colloquium, Robert C. May
14 June 2024, STiHAC Joint Meeting, Fatima Scha
17 June 2024, PhD assembly meeting
The next PhD assembly meeting, where PhD students can ask questions to the Management Team of the ILLC, is on Monday 17 June from 12.00 till 13.00 in the Common Room of SP107. Lunch will be arranged.
17 June 2024, FOAM Seminar, Yuri Gurevich
18 June 2024, Language Evolution and Learning (LELA), Polina Tsvilodub
Imagine you are working as a barista at a coffeeshop. A customer asks a polar question like “Do you have iced tea?” but you've run out. In this situation, you might likely provide an overinformative answer going beyond a simple “yes” or “no” (e.g., “No, but we've got iced coffee!”), but what principles guide the selection of additional information? This talk proposes that such answers draw on learning about our interlocutors from language; they present a non-trivial instance of pragmatic communication which depends for complex reasoning drawing on these inferences about the interlocutors and world knowledge. The talk will feature a combination of Bayesian pragmatic models and LLM results.
20 June 2024, The Utrecht Logic in Progress Series (TULIPS), Karolina Krzyżanowska
21 June 2024, Dutch Logic PhD Day 2024, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
The Dutch Logic PhD Day 2024 is a VvL event that brings together PhD students in Logic and related areas (such as philosophy, computer science and AI) to foster exchanges of ideas and collaborations between young researchers from all over the Netherlands.
The event is planned as a full-day event, during which PhDs students will have the possibility to present their research in the form of contributed talks.
21 June 2024, Current Affairs Meeting cancelled
We already had the ILLC Colloquium as part of the ILLC Open Day and we do not have many topics to discuss. Therefore we decided to cancel the Current Affairs Meeting (CAM) this Friday.

25 June 2024, Documentary screening: Where Olive Trees Weep
This film offers "a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass". As the repression of Palestinian and other critical voices is only increasing, we want to take the chance to bring to this space and resonate the perspectives and realities of those that the media and the dominant powers want to erase. Join us to watch, reflect and learn together.
