Argumentation and exchange of information help groups to coordinate, deliberate and decide. On the other hand, debates often generate detrimental large-scale phenomena such as polarization, informational cascades and echo-chambers, where the behavior of entire groups shifts in seemingly irrational ways.

Understanding the deep mechanisms of informational and social influence that underlie these phenomena in the age of social media is a challenge that engages methods from different disciplines, including philosophy, artificial intelligence, computer and social sciences and psychology.

This workshop brings together scholars with different theoretical approaches. Its broader aim is to foster an interdisciplinary understanding of the mechanisms that determine the behavior of individuals in a social context from multiple perspectives. The workshop will last two and a half days. The first half-day of it will be dedicated to an introductory seminar on abstract argumentation, held by Professor Pietro Baroni (Brescia).

Due to the spreading of COVID-19, this workshop will be held online as a video-conference-only.

The Causal Inference Lab will meet online this Friday to discuss Jonathan Phillips, Jamie Luguri & Joshua Knobe (2015), Unifying morality’s influence on non-moral judgments: The relevance of alternative possibilities [doi:10.1016/j.cognition.2015.08.001]

All those with an interest in causal inference are very welcome to attend.

The meeting “Quantum and Beyond” on 28 and 29 April 2020, is devoted to recent logical and foundational investigations that have been inspired by quantum theory. After the pioneering approach of Birkhoff and von Neumann in the Thirties, the quantum theoretic formalism has suggested the development of new logical ideas that have been successfully applied to different fields: fuzzy and epistemic logics, quantum information and quantum computation theories, semantics of natural and artistic languages, pattern recognition and machine learning, cognitive sciences.
