LOCATION:De Balie, Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  The history of AI has been 
 a continuous swing of the pendulum between the ext
 remes of logical reasoning and statistical learnin
 g; or, as Judea Pearl has it: between Greek philos
 ophers and Babylonian curve fitters. In recent yea
 rs, the pendulum has swung strongly towards the st
 atistical methods. We'll take a close look at the 
 history of AI, and we'll identify the strong and w
 eak points of both schools of thought. This will l
 ead to a set of challenges to be taken up by logic
 ians if they are interested in contributing to one
  of the most exciting intellectual endeavours of o
 ur time.  The talk is the public part of the confe
 rence SYSMICS2019, an international scientific mee
 ting in the area of logic.
