10-13 November 2008, 7th International Conference on Logic and Cognition (ICLC-2008), Guangzhou, China
The academic conference on Logic and Cognition is an annual meeting since the year 2001. It is a continuous effort to share insights on the interaction between different logics and cognition. The 7th international conference on Logic and Cognition sponsored by the Institute of Logic and Cognition (ILC) and the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) aims to bring together researchers from philosophy, psychology, and linguistics to discuss the issues of common interest, and to serve as a platform for future research. For more information, please check: http://logic.sysu.edu.cn/logic/iclc2008/

Abstract:
There are many ways in which a problem can be hard or easy. In this talk I will focus on one such meaning: a problem is hard if solving it requires an excessive amount of time. NP-complete - or otherwise NP-hard - problems are traditionally considered to be hard in this sense. This notion of hardness has been playing an important role in debates in cognitive science over the last decades, among them debates on the modularity of mind and the heuristic nature of human rationality. In these debates often claims have been made (explicitly or implicitly) about what it is that makes a given problem hard. Reasons that are commonly listed include the following: (1) optimization is hard, (2) solving a problem exactly is hard, (3) problems with large search spaces are hard. On the other hand, there are also claims about what characterizes easy problems, including: (4) satisficing is relatively easy, (5) heuristics are relatively easy, and (6) approximation is relatively easy. In this talk I discuss the misleading nature of these claims. Drawing on insights from complexity theory, I propose an alternative way of addressing the question "What makes a problem hard (or easy)?", one that recognizes that the hardness or easiness of a problem often depends on a complex interplay of a problem's parameters.
