23 September 2014, KIK Workshop on "Higher-level cognition and computation", Stuttgart, Germany

Date: 23 September 2014
Location: Stuttgart, Germany
Deadline: 1 July 2014

This workshop, held in conjunction with KI 2014, aims at bringing together researchers from Artificial Intelligence, Automated Deduction, Computer Science, Cognitive Psychology, Philosophy, and related areas to foster a multi-disciplinary exchange between research in higher-level cognition and computation.

Human higher-level cognition is a multi-faceted and complex area of thinking which includes the mental processes of reasoning, decision making, creativity, and learning among others. Logic, understood as a normative theory of thinking, has a widespread and pervasive effect on the foundations of cognitive science. However, human reasoning cannot be completely described by logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. Still, humans have an impressive ability to derive satisficing, acceptable conclusions. Generally, people employ both inductive and deductive reasoning to arrive at beliefs; but the same argument that is inductively strong or powerful may be deductively invalid. Therefore, a wide range of reasoning mechanism has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning.

For more information, see http://imodspace.iig.uni-freiburg.de/kik-ws/

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission deadline: 01-Jul-2014.

4-5 August 2014, Second workshop on Reasoning about other minds: Logical and cognitive perspectives, Groningen, The Netherlands

Date: 4-5 August 2014
Location: Groningen, The Netherlands
Deadline: 1 July 2014

This workshop aims to shed light on models of social reasoning that take into account realistic resource bounds. People reason about other people's mental states in order to understand and predict the others' behavior. This capability to reason about others' knowledge, beliefs and intentions is often referred to as 'theory of mind'. Idealized rational agents are capable of recursion in their social reasoning, and can reason about phenomena like common knowledge. Such idealized social reasoning has been modeled by modal logics such as epistemic logic and BDI (belief, goal, intention) logics. However, in real-world situations, many people seem to lose track of such recursive social reasoning after only a few levels. Cognitive scientists build computational models of social reasoning, for example, recently an "inverse planning" model based on Bayesian inference frameworks has proven successful in modeling human inferences about the goals and beliefs underlying other people's observed behavior.

Please send your extended abstract in PDF format, not exceeding 4 double-spaced pages (1,500 words) by Tuesday July 1, 2014.

30 June - 1 July 2014, Workshop "Arguing on the Web 2.0"

Date: 30 June - 1 July 2014
Location: Doelenzaal, Singel 425, Amsterdam
Costs: free
Deadline: 28 February 2014

In this workshop, we aim to bring together philosophers, computer scientists, argumentation scholars, and experts in persuasive communication to discuss the nature and dynamics of argumentation on the Internet, how new technologies change the argumentative practices of users, what skills and expertise become critical in such a new info-ecology, how ICT can be used to foster rather than hamper critical reflection and debate, and what implications this should have for education, societal change and policy making.

7-8 July 2014, Symposium on the Foundations of Mathematics, Vienna, Austria

Date: 7-8 July 2014
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: 31 March 2014

Set theory is taken to serve as a foundation for mathematics. But it is well-known that there are set-theoretic statements that cannot be settled by the standard axioms of set theory. The Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms, with the Axiom of Choice (ZFC), are incomplete. The primary goal of this symposium is to explore the different approaches that one can take to the phenomenon of incompleteness. These different approaches have wider consequences for the concepts of meaning and truth in mathematics and beyond. The conference will address these foundational issues at the intersection of philosophy and mathematics. The primary goal of the conference is to showcase contemporary philosophical research on different approaches to the incompleteness phenomenon.

8 July 2014, CICM-2014 workshop "The Notion of Proof", Coimbra, Portugal

Date: 8 July 2014
Location: Coimbra, Portugal
Deadline: 31 May 2014

The traditional notion of mathematical proof faces in the 21st century what we will call "the computer challenge". Three different aspects are worth separating. 'Proof search' has its known limitations due to undecidability and complexity results. However, special areas, such as semigroup theory, already enjoy considerable support from computer-generated proofs. 'Proof check' is recently the 'hottest' area, in no small part due to the attempt to formally verify the proof of the Kepler conjecture by its author Hales. 'Proof representation' seems currently be the stumbling block for convincing the mathematical community to accept computer-aided theorem proving as a viable complement to everyday mathematical research.

For our workshop we solicit contributions for discussions about the current state-of-the-art of automated theorem proving (ATP), approaching the topic from the mathematical (or even philosophical) side, as well as from computer science.

8-12 July 2014, Summer School: Interdisciplinary Analysis of Voting Rules, Caen, France

Date: 8-12 July 2014
Location: Caen, France

This summer school will provide a through introduction to insights coming from political science, economics, experimental economics, game theory, computer science and mathematics that are relevant to the analysis of voting rules and electoral reforms. There is the option to apply for a travel grant and to present a poster at the summer school. Deadline: 25 March 2014.

8-11 July 2014, Trends in Logic XIV "The Road Less Travelled: Off-stream applications of formal methods", Ghent, Belgium

Date: 8-11 July 2014
Location: Ghent, Belgium
Deadline: 20 January 2014

Trends in Logic is the conference series of the journal 'Studia Logica'. The focus of the 14th conference is to be on those applications of formal methods in philosophy which might be of interest to people working on philosophical questions of more direct relevance to human life.

Logicians have devoted considerable effort to applying formal methods to what are now considered core disciplines of analytic philosophy: philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language and metaphysics. Researchers in these fields have been accused of sharpening their knives without actually cutting anything of interest to those outside of philosophy. The focus of formal methods is changing and our intent for this conference is to further counter the impression of idleness with respect to philosophy at large.

9-10 July 2014, BELUX2 Colloquium: "Epistemic normative reasons", Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Date: 9-10 July 2014
Location: Luxembourg, Luxembourg

The workshop is the second in a series of workshops, the BELUX Colloquia in Epistemology, that we organize in an alternating way at the KU Leuven and the University of Luxembourg.

We would like to investigate what normative epistemic reasons there might be and how we are to conceive of them, in a teleological or deontic or ... fashion. Talk of normative reasons in practical philosophy is quite well understood, to a certain extent. But normative epistemic reasons are not yet clarified equally well. How the concept(s) of normative epistemic reasons might be defined, and how these reasons might be explained, and explain other things, is the central question of this workshop.

Free admission, everybody welcome, but please register by sending an email to . For more information, see http://philosophie.uni.lu/news_and_events.

9-24 July 2014, Vienna Summer of Logic, Vienna, Austria

8-11 July 2014, Trends in Logic XIV "The Road Less Travelled: Off-stream applications of formal methods", Ghent, Belgium

Date: 8-11 July 2014
Location: Ghent, Belgium
Deadline: 20 January 2014

Trends in Logic is the conference series of the journal 'Studia Logica'. The focus of the 14th conference is to be on those applications of formal methods in philosophy which might be of interest to people working on philosophical questions of more direct relevance to human life.

Logicians have devoted considerable effort to applying formal methods to what are now considered core disciplines of analytic philosophy: philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language and metaphysics. Researchers in these fields have been accused of sharpening their knives without actually cutting anything of interest to those outside of philosophy. The focus of formal methods is changing and our intent for this conference is to further counter the impression of idleness with respect to philosophy at large.

13 July 2014, Third International Workshop on Gentzen Systems and Beyond (GSB3), Vienna, Austria

Date: Sunday 13 July 2014
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: 13 April 2014

This is a workshop on Gentzen-style proof systems, their generalizations, and extensions. Since the introduction of the sequent calculus and natural deduction by Gerhard Gentzen in the 1930s, a wide spectrum of formalisms have been used to construct proof systems for logics resisting a simpler description, including hypersequents, deep inference systems, display calculi, labelled deductive systems, tableaux, and proof nets, to name just a few. The aim of this workshop is to explore and compare the motivations for and relative merits of these different approaches.

A broader aim of the workshop is to build a bridge between researchers into theoretical aspects of structural proof theory and the more application-oriented goals of the proof theory community, particularly in cases where the methods, such as constructing analytic systems, are shared. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date: 18-19 September 2014
Location: London, U.K.
Deadline: 15 July 2014

Recent decades have seen an explosion of research into formal argumentation theory within computer science, drawing on roots in philosophy and legal theory. The formalisms developed enable reasoning with incomplete and inconsistent information to reach decisions that are rational according to various criteria. However, this work has largely been conducted in isolation from the established mathematical decision sciences in microeconomic theory.

The workshop will bring together philosophers, economists, computer scientists and psychologists to discuss areas of common interests and possible directions for research.

15 July 2014, Vienna Summer of Logic 2014 Workshop on Logic and Games, Vienna, Austria

Date: 15 July 2014
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: 1 May 2014

Despite its austere appearance, formal logic can often be viewed through the lens of game theory, whereby various logical concepts -- validity, consequence, provability, satisfiability, (in)dependence, possibility, etc. -- become animated as games. Going in the other direction, one can start with games and find logics, and various logical concepts, therein. The idea of viewing logics as games, and vice versa, is by no means new, but it has enjoyed a certain renaissance in recent years. The workshop is intended to serve as a magnet to attract the latest research in the spirit of connecting logic to games.

Logic and Games will be a one-day event consisting of three invited 60-minute talks, together with selected shorter contributed talks. Invited speakers: Gabriel Sandu (Helsinki), Ondrej Majer (Prague) and Kazushige Terui (Kyoto).

17-18 July 2014, International Workshop on Proof, Structure and Computation (PSC 2014), Vienna, Austria

Date: 17-18 July 2014
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: 1 May 2014

The extraction of computational content from proofs has a long tradition in logic, but usually depends on a concrete encoding that allows us to turn proofs into algorithms. A recent trend in this field is the departure from such encoding which not only makes it simpler to represent the mathematical content, but also makes the extracted computational content encoding independent. This shift in focus allows us to focus on what is relevant: the computational aspects of proofs and the specification (not representation) of the structures involved. We now have growing evidence that this move from representations (e.g. the signed digit representation of the reals) to axioms (e.g. of the real numbers) is possible. This development largely parallels the step from assembler to high level languages in programming. As a by-product this move has already opened up the possibility to gain computational information from axiomatic proofs in more abstract and genuinely structural areas of mathematics such as algebra and topology.

18 July 2014, 1st International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2014), Vienna, Austria

Date: 18 July 2014
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: 25 April 2014

Quantifiers play an important role in language extensions of many logics. The use of quantifiers often allows for a more succinct encoding than would be possible without quantifiers. However, the introduction of quantifiers affects the complexity of the extended formalism in general. Moreover, theoretical results established for the quantifier-free formalism typically cannot be directly transferred to the quantified case. Further, techniques successfully implemented in reasoning tools for quantifier-free formulas cannot directly be lifted to a quantified version.

The goal of the 1st International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2014) is to bring together researchers who investigate the impact of quantification from a theoretical as well as from a practical point of view. Quantification is a topic in different research areas such as in SAT in terms of QBF, in CSP in terms of QCSP, in SMT, etc. This workshop has the aim to provide an interdisciplinary forum where researchers of various fields may exchange their experiences.

21-24 July 2014, Eleventh International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2014), Darmstadt, Germany

Date: 21-24 July 2014
Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Deadline: 7 April 2014

The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data. The classical approach in these areas is to consider algorithms as operating on finite strings of symbols from a finite alphabet. Most mathematical models in physics and engineering, however, are based on the real number concept. Thus, a computability theory and a complexity theory over the real numbers and over more general continuous data structures is needed.

Despite remarkable progress in recent years many important fundamental problems have not yet been studied, and presumably numerous unexpected and surprising results are waiting to be detected. Scientists working in the area of computation on real-valued data come from different fields, such as theoretical computer science, domain theory, logic, constructive mathematics, computer arithmetic, numerical mathematics and all branches of analysis. The conference provides a unique opportunity for people from such diverse areas to meet, present work in progress and exchange ideas and knowledge.

27 July - 2 August 2014, Summer school on Mathematical Philosophy for female students, Munich, Germany

Date: 27 July - 2 August 2014
Location: Munich, Germany

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) is organizing the first Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students, which will be held from July 27 to August 2, 2014 in Munich, Germany. The summer school is open to excellent female students who want to specialize in mathematical philosophy.

Since women are significantly underrepresented in philosophy generally and in formal philosophy in particular, this summer school is aimed at encouraging women to engage with mathematical methods and apply them to philosophical problems. The summer school will provide an infrastructure for developing expertise in some of the main formal approaches used in mathematical philosophy, including theories of individual and collective decision-making, agent-based modeling, and epistemic logic. Furthermore, it offers study in an informal setting, lively debate, and a chance to strengthen mathematical self-confidence and independence for female students. Finally, being located at the MCMP, the summer school will also provide a stimulating and interdisciplinary environment for meeting like-minded philosophers.

The deadline for application is 15 February 2015. For more information, see http://www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/news/mathsummer2014/

CfP special issue of Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence on "Mathematical Theories of Natural Language Processing"

Deadline: 31 July 2014

Since the 1990s, the practice of natural language processing (NLP) has gradually shifted from logic-based symbol manipulation systems first to purely statistical, and more recently to hybrid systems that combine structural and statistical methods. The mathematical theory of hybrid NLP is still not fully mature, and the special issue will lend focus to this expanding research area by including papers from mathematicians, computer scientists, theoretical and computational linguists and AI researchers with an interest in its foundations.

Subjects suitable for the special issue include, but are not limited to, NLP-related advances in
- inductive learning
- spectral techniques
- formal grammars
- commonsense reasoning
- low-pass semantics
- sparse models
- LSTM, deep learning
- compressed sensing
- cvs/distributional theories

Papers which were presented in January 2014 at the ISAIM special session on this topic are especially invited for submission, but other submissions not associated with ISAIM will be given equal consideration for publication. All papers will go through the standard refereeing process of the journal. The submission deadline is July 31 , 2014 . Papers should be submitted through the Springer website for the journal https://www.editorialmanager.com/amai choosing article type Special Issue S79: Mathematical Theories of NLP.

31 July - 2 August 2014, Fifth Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN'14), Quebec City QC, Canada

Date: 31 July - 2 August 2014
Location: Quebec City QC, Canada
Deadline: 11 April 2014

Narratives are ubiquitous in human experience. We use them to communicate, convince, explain, and entertain. As far as we know, every society in the world has narratives, which suggests they are rooted in our psychology and serve an important cognitive function. The aim of this workshop series is to address key questions that advance our understanding of narrative at multiple levels: from the psychological and cognitive impact of narratives to our ability to model narrative responses computationally.
