LOCATION:ILLC Seminar Room F1.15, Science Park 107

DESCRIPTION:A few of us are getting together over 
 the next six weeks to read and discuss the PhD the
 sis of Thomas Icard, who did the MoL and whose PhD
  thesis, ‘The Algorithmic Mind’, was supervised by
  Johan van Benthem at Stanford. We would like to i
 nvite anyone who is interested to join the reading
  group. All are welcome!  Thomas Icard’s PhD thesi
 s examines probabilistic approaches to the nature 
 of human inference, with a special focus on resour
 ce-bounded agents. As the abstract explains, “I ex
 plore a view of inference based on the idea of pro
 babilistic sampling, which is supported by behavio
 ral psychological data and appears to be neurally 
 plausible, and which also engenders a philosophica
 lly novel and appealing view of what grounds subje
 ctive probability. I then discuss this view in the
  context of the Bayesian program in cognitive scie
 nce, proposing a methodology of boundedly rational
  analysis”.  To join the reading group, just come 
 along to the first session on Thursday 8 November 
 3-5pm in F1.15! If you have any questions, just se
 nd an email to D.M.McHugh at uva.nl.
