    Location: Room A1.04, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

    The Logic Tea, a series of one-hour talks designed for students of mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, and philosophy, and the students of the Master of Logic program of the ILLC, with discussion, tea and cookies afterwards.

    Logic Tea homepage can be found at http://www.illc.uva.nl/logic_tea/.

  • The DIP (Discourse and Philosophy) Colloquium

    Date and time: biweekly on fridays, 16:00-17:30
    Location: Room 001 (MFR), Philosophy Department, Vendelstraat 8, Amsterdam

    The Discourse and Philosophy (DIP) Colloquium is organized by the Logic and Language group at the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation, University of Amsterdam. The program reflects the current research interests of the group: cognition and reasoning, formal semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, and philosophy of logic and language.

  • Computational Linguistics Seminar

    Date and time: weekly on wednesdays, 16:00
    Location: Room A1.04, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

    Talks by locals and outsiders, alternating with a reading group, on Computational Linguistics -- that is, research that is or can be implemented in a computer program, and tries to process or account for natural language data (which includes language modeling, statistical modeling, pattern recognition and machine learning methods, formal linguistic grammars, speech recognition, machine translation, computational semantics, and other topics that one currently finds at ACL, COLING, or in the CL journal).

  • The Colloquium on Mathematical Logic

    Date: irregularly
    Location: Room C1.112, Science Park 904, Amsterdam or Wiskundegebouw, Budapestlaan 6, Utrecht

    Starting in the Academic Year 2003/2004, the ILLC and the Mathematics and Philosophy Departments of the Universiteit Utrecht will be jointly organizing a Colloquium on Mathematical Logic (organizers: Allessandra Palmigiano, Jouko Väänänen, Jaap van Oosten and Rosalie Iemhoff). This joint colloquium revives the tradition of the InterCity seminar of the 1970s and 1980s and will be a venue for talks by external guests, researchers from Amsterdam and Utrecht, and last but definitely not least, students from Amsterdam and Utrecht.

  • Computational Social Choice Seminar

    Date: irregular
    Location: Science Park 904, Amsterdam

    The Computational Social Choice Seminar is a series of occasional talks that address issues at the interface of computer science (including logic, multiagent systems and artificial intelligence) and mathematical economics (including social choice theory, game theory and decision theory).

    For more information, see http://www.illc.uva.nl/~ulle/seminar/, or contact Ulle Endriss (ulle.endriss at uva.nl).

  • Logic and Interactive RAtionality (LIRa)

    Date and time: weekly (tuesdays), 15:30-17:30
    Location: Room F1.15, Science Park 107, Amsterdam

    The LIRa seminar is a series of talks organized by the Amsterdam Dynamics Group, focusing on the logical, philosophical and computational aspects of agency, rational interaction and social-informational dynamics. The seminar covers research topics lying at the interface of Logic with Game Theory, Decision Theory, Learning Theory, Formal Epistemology, Social Choice Theory, Computer Science, Philosophy of Science or Philosophy of Language. Core areas of interest are Modal Logic approaches to interaction, as well as other approaches, e.g. game semantics,dynamic semantics for natural language, (co)algebraic approaches, or (in)dependence-friendly logics.

    The LIRA seminar homepage can be found at http://www.illc.uva.nl/lgc/seminar/. Information about the Amsterdam Dynamics Group can be found at http://www.illc.uva.nl/dg/.

  • Seminar on music cognition and computation

    Date: irregular
    Location: Room TBA, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

    A reading/discussion group on music cognition and computation exists since 2004. For each meeting one or two articles are chosen (and read by the participants beforehand) to form the basis for a discussion.

    The seminar on music cognition and computation homepage can be found at http://staff.science.uva.nl/~ahoningh/readinggroup.html.

  • ILLC Colloquium

    Date: semiannually

    The ILLC Colloquium is a half-yearly festive event (respectively the New Year's Colloquium and the Midsummernight Colloquium) that brings together the three research groups at the ILLC. Each colloquium consists of three main talks by representatives from the Logic and Language group, the Language and Computation group and the Logic and Computation group, which are occasionally followed by Wild Idea Talks. The colloquium is concluded by a get together of the entire ILLC community.

    For more information, see http://www.illc.uva.nl/ILLCColloquium/

  • SMART Cognitive Science Lectures

    Date and time: monthly, 15:00-18:00
    Location: UvA (building varies), Amsterdam

    The SMART (Speech & language, Music, Art, Reasoning & Thought) Cognitive Science initiative is part of the 'zwaartepunt' Brain & Cognitive Science of the Faculty. The main activity in SMART CS will be a new lecture series with internationally renowned cognitive scientists; additionally, we will support existing activities and initiate new ones, both online and offline, to bring together cognitive scientists at the ILLC, ACLC and other research institutes of the Faculty and to highlight the contributions of the humanities to the cognitive sciences. Our activitities are organized in close collaboration with the Cognitive Science Center Amsterdam.

  • LogiCIC Seminar

    Date: monthly on Tuesdays
    Location: Room F1.15, Science Park 107, Amsterdam

    The monthly LogiCIC seminar series is organized within the ERC project on "The Logical Structure of Correlated Information Change". Every month, this seminar will host one or two invited speakers who present their latest research results on topics in Logic, Epistemology and Philosophy of Science.

    For more information and abstracts, see http://sites.google.com/site/logicicproject/logicic-seminar.

  • The LeGO (Leerstoel Groepen Overleg) Seminar

    Date and time: biweekly on Fridays, 16:00-17:30
    Location: Room varies, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

    LeGO is an internal seminar where members of the LLA group (capacity group Logic and Language) keep each other updated about recent, current and ongoing work. Interested ILLC scholars and students are welcome and they can receive the announcements by subscribing to p.j.e.dekker at uva.nl or m.i.crespo at uva.nl.

  • Cool Logic seminar for Logic Students

    Date and time: biweekly on Fridays, 17:30-18:30
    Location: Room varies, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

    Cool Logic is an internal seminar, where MScLogic and PhD students (only) of the ILLC can meet and keep each other updated about recent, current and ongoing work. It will be more informal than the Logic Tea, and students will be free to present not only finished results, but also e.g. ideas that are not yet fully worked out, or just any logic related topics that they find interesting.

    For more information, contact coollogic.uva at gmail.com.

  • Seminar on Provability, Interpretability, Intuitionism and Arithmetic (PIIA)

    Date: Irregular, monthly
    Location: Room varies, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

    This is a seminar series on Provability, Interpretability, Intuitionism and Arithmetic, organized jointly by the universities of Amsterdam, Nijmegen and Utrecht. Each session will consist of informal technical talks, followed by elaborate discussion. The meetings will take place about once a month, either in Amsterdam or Utrecht.
