5-9 September, 2016, Workshop on Proof Theory, Modal Logic and Reflection Principles, Tbilisi, Georgia

Date: 5-9 September, 2016
Location: Tbilisi, Georgia
Costs: 200 euro registration

A recent approach to proof theory uses techniques form modal logic to compute the consistency strength of formal theories. As a result one obtains, among other benefits, semi-finitary consistency proofs in the spirit of the extended Hilbert?s programme.

This approach requires techniques from many disciplines; the aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in relevant fields in order to discuss recent advances and foster new collaborations.

11 December 2016, Sixth Workshop on Hybrid Approaches to Translation (HyTra-6), Osaka, Japan

Date: 11 December 2016
Location: Osaka, Japan
Deadline: 25 September 2016

Nowadays, there are more paradigms competing in machine translation including statistical (phrase-based, hierarchical and syntax-based), neural-based and rule-based. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages which make it worth the research on hybridization, integration and/or combination of approaches. Given that academic and industry perspectives may differ on the opinion of which are the most suitable paradigms, HyTra gives a strong relevance to the participation of both in the workshop. The fact that machine translation is a highly interdisciplinary field (including engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, translators, linguists?), specially in the research of hybridization, enriches the workshop in its discussions, proceedings, invited talks and, even, in one contributed volume published by Springer.

In this edition, HyTRA (in conjunction with COLING 2016) will specially focus on motivating the cooperation and interaction between the different human components, as well as to foster innovation and creativity in the Hybrid Machine Translation research community. That is why we encourage the participation of the different integrating fields (engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, translators, linguists either from academy or industry) to contribute to our special call of shared task proposals.

For more information, see http://glicom.upf.edu/hytra6/ or contact Patrik Lambert at .

HyTra-6 intends to invite work contributions on integrating any type of data-driven and linguistic-based machine translation approaches. Additionally we sollicit proposals for shared tasks relevant to hybrid translation with the potential to be conducted in future editions of the HyTra workshop series. We particularly welcome proposals which motivate the MT industry to participate. Deadline for Paper submission:* September 25th, 2016.

5-6 October 2016, Workshop on Logical Constants, Munich, Germany

Date: 5-6 October 2016
Location: Munich, Germany
Deadline: 25 July 2016

The two traditions defining contemporary thought on the topic of logicality are the proof theoretic and the semantic traditions. The difference is not merely the different mathematical tools they employ in studying logical consequence: there are deep philosophical questions involved, having to do with the relation between language, meaning and truth. The aim of this workshop is to promote a dialogue between people working in these two traditions, for the benefit of both, and with the hope of gaining a wide perspective on the issues concerned with logicality.

For more information, see here.

12-14 October 2016, Foundations of Mathematical Structuralism, Munich, Germany

Date: 12-14 October 2016
Location: Munich, Germany
Deadline: 30 June 2016

The orthodox approach to foundations interprets mathematics in the universe of sets. More recently, however, there have been developments that offer alternatives, such as combining category-theoretic structural methods with type theory to produce a foundation that accounts for the structural aspects of mathematical practice. We are now at a point where the notion of mathematical structure can be elucidated more clearly and its role in the foundations of mathematics can be explored more fruitfully.

The main objective of the conference is to reevaluate the different perspectives on mathematical structuralism in the foundations of mathematics and in mathematical practice.

9 - 12 January 2017, Model Theory: Philosophy, Mathematics, and Language, Munich, Germany

Date: 9 - 12 January 2017
Location: Munich, Germany
Deadline: Saturday 15 October 2016

Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic that studies languages and their interpretations. As such, research in model theory overlaps many areas in philosophy, linguistics, and mathematics. The introduction of model theory in the beginning of the previous century was intertwined with the development of set-theoretic foundations for mathematics; the implications and applications for philosophy and linguistics soon followed. The aim of this conference is to bring together philosophers, linguists and mathematicians for whom model theory is a basic tool-kit.

We wish to facilitate knowledge transfer between these disciplines and create a fruitful discussion on the applicability and the foundational role of model theory. To do this, the conference will explore the following research questions: Are model-theoretic tools sufficient for an adequate demarcation of logical from non-logical constants? How does the model-theoretic definition of truth advance our understanding of the semantic paradoxes? How is meaning in natural language represented in models? How can models account for specific linguistic phenomena (e.g., natural language quantifiers)? What are the philosophical and linguistic consequences of a theory's complexity as measured by model-theoretic classification theory?

We invite the submission of abstracts, suitable for a 45 minute talk, on topics related to any aspects of model theory. We encourage submissions from early-career researchers and PhD students. Submission deadline: 15 October, 2016.

21 - 22 October 2016, Agent-based modelling across social science, economics, and philosophy, Bamberg, Germany

Date: 21 - 22 October 2016
Location: Bamberg, Germany
Deadline: Wednesday 31 August 2016

Agent-based models (ABM) are a recent tool in philosophy and the social sciences. To date, ABMs have been applied to a wide variety of topics ranging from simulating ecological systems to highly idealized models of opinion dynamics or emerging social norms. This workshop aims to bring together different approaches to ABM in philosophy and the social sciences. The objective is to represent the wide spectrum of applications of ABM and encourage exchange between various approaches. A further objective is to foster discussion about the nature of ABMs and the opportunities and potential pitfalls of their use in these disciplines.

27-28 October 2016, Third Workshop on Logic, Reasoning, and Rationality (LRR 2016): Agency & Causation, Gent, Belgium

Date: 27-28 October 2016
Location: Gent, Belgium
Deadline: 17 June 2016

The aim of this workshop is to further stimulate the synergy between, on the one hand, ongoing work that concerns the logic and philosophy of human (intentional) agency, and on the other, conceptual and formal work on causation and causal reasoning. Although this means the workshop covers a very broad range of possible topics, we particularly welcome talks in which both (intentional) agency and causation, and their logical and conceptual interrelations, get a fair share.

Keynote speakers: Jan Broersen (University of Utrecht, Netherlands), Agnes Moors (Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium), Elisabeth Pacherie (Institut Jean Nicod, France)

27 October 2016, Symposium on Congenital Amusia

Date & Time: Thursday 27 October 2016, 11:00-17:30
Location: University library, Belle van Zuylenzaal, Singel 425, Amsterdam

On October 27, 2016 we will have a symposium on congenital amusia. Congenital amusia is a neuro-developmental disorder that is neither caused by insufficient exposure to music, nor by a hearing deficiency, brain damage or intellectual impairment. People with congenital amusia (amusics) face lifelong impairments in the musical domain (music often causes discomfort to them). They cannot detect a pitch difference between two adjacent tones if this difference is one semitone or less.
