26 July to 1 August 2015, Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students, Munich, Germany

Date: 26 July to 1 August 2015
Location: Munich, Germany

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) is organizing the 2nd Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students, which will be held from July 26 to August 1, 2015 in Munich, Germany. The summer school is open to excellent female students who wish to specialize in mathematical philosophy.

Since women are significantly underrepresented in philosophy generally and in formal philosophy in particular, this summer school aims to encourage 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 formal epistemology, simulation techniques, the semantics-pragmatics interface. 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 March 1, 2015. For more information, see http://www.mathsummer.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/

1 August 2015, 2nd International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2015), Berlin, Germany

Date: Saturday 1 August 2015
Location: Berlin, Germany
Deadline: 8 May 2015

Quantifiers play an important role in language extensions of many logics. The use of quantifiers often allows for a more succinct encoding as it would be possible without quantifiers. However, the introduction of quantifiers affects the complexity of the extended formalism in general. Consequently, theoretical results established for the quantifier-free formalism may not directly be 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 2nd International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2015) 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.

3-7 August 2015, ESSLLI 2015 Workshop, Barcelona, Spain

Date: 3-7 August 2015
Title: Bridging Logical and Probabilistic Approaches to Language and Cognition
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Deadline: 15 March 2015

Recent years have seen increased interest in applying logical methods and frameworks, the traditional subject matter of ESSLLI, to cognitive modeling, whereby logical models of cognitive phenomena are tested against empirical data. At the same time, there has recently been an explosion of activity in the cognitive sciences around (structured) statistical, and specifically Bayesian, models. With this workshop we propose to bring together two groups of researchers -- logicians focused on cognitive modeling, and cognitive scientists incorporating logical structure into probabilistic models -- with the aim of cross-pollination, and ideally, a consensus on how these two traditions relate, and how we might combine the best of what both have to offer. The primary aim is to gain a better understanding of (i) how cognitive computational models could be enriched by logical insights and (ii) how logical models may be turned into cognitive models.

3-14 August 2015, ESSLLI-2015 Workshop "Logics for Resource-Bounded Agents", Barcelona, Spain

Date: 3-14 August 2015
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Deadline: 15 February 2015

Research in resource-bounded agency contributes both to reasoning about actions in philosophy and artificial intelligence, and to applications of logic in computer science, such as the practical verification of resource-bounded multi-agent systems. The Logics for Resource-Bounded Agents workshop will provide a forum for established researchers and advanced PhD students to present and discuss their work with colleagues working in related areas (particularly those represented at ESSLLI). In addition to logics of strategic ability where actions produce and consume resources, we solicit contributions from researchers working in epistemic logic, game theory, linear logic etc. on alternative approaches to modelling resource-bounded agency.

The workshop is part of ESSLLI and is open to all ESSLLI participants. It will consist of five 90-minute sessions held over five consecutive days in the second week of ESSLLI. There will be 2 or 3 slots for paper presentation and discussion per session. On the first day the workshop organizers will give an introduction to the topic.

The Logics for Resource-Bounded Agents workshop will provide a forum for established researchers and advanced PhD students to present and discuss their work with colleagues working in related areas (particularly those represented at ESSLLI). In addition to logics of strategic ability where actions produce and consume resources, we solicit contributions from researchers working in epistemic logic, game theory, linear logic etc. on alternative approaches to modelling resource-bounded agency.

The workshop is part of ESSLLI and is open to all ESSLLI participants. It will consist of five 90-minute sessions held over five consecutive days in the second week of ESSLLI. There will be 2 or 3 slots for paper presentation and discussion per session. On the first day the workshop organizers will give an introduction to the topic.

10-14 August 2015, "Empirical Advances in Categorial Grammar", Barcelona, Spain

Date: 10-14 August 2015
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Deadline: 15 February 2015

This workshop provides a forum for discussion of recent empirical advances in categorial grammar (CG). After the revival of interest in CG in linguistics in the 80s, various extensions to the Lambek calculus and an early version of Combinatory Categorial Grammar have been proposed. But the fundamental question of whether CG constitutes an adequate linguistic theory still seems to be wide open. Moreover, there are now numerous variants of CG, both in the TLCG tradition and in CCG. Which of these theories constitutes the most adequate version of an empirical theory of natural language?

Logical, mathematical, and computational analyses have tended to take precedence over empirical ones in the past 30 years in CG research. These are all important and very illuminating, but at the same time we may now want to pause and reflect on the question of just where we are in terms of empirical adequacy. We think that the time is ripe to critically scrutinize the empirical consequences of the various formal techniques/frameworks proposed in the literature in the past 30 years, as well as ones that are being developed at this very moment.
