[Logica-l] Teoria de probabilidades como lógica

2012-01-18 Por tôpico Ricardo Pereira
Caros colegas da lista,

Estou há pouco tempo estudando lógica e me interessei bastante na
visão da Teoria de Probabilidades como extensão da lógica clássica,
passível de ser usada em caso de incertezas. Tenho lido os livros do
Carnap (de que gerei o djvu) e, principalmente de E. T. Jaynes
(Probability Theory: the logic of sciente).

Embora ache que o Jaynes seja muito duro com os filósofos¹, estou
gostando bastante do livro e a abordagem dele me parece boa. Gostaria
de saber a opinião dos listeiros sobre o livro ou sobre esse tipo de
abordagem, bem como de receber indicações bibliográficas pertinentes
(inclusive críticas, se for o caso).

¹ Conforme ilustrado por:
Carnap was seeking the general inductive rule (i.e., the rule by
which, given the record of past results, one can make the best
possible prediction of future ones). But he suffered from one of the
standard occupational diseases of philosophers; his exposition wanders
off into abstract symbolic logic without ever considering a specific
real example. So he never rises to the level of seeing that different
inductive rules correspond to different prior information. It seems to
us obvious, from arguments like the above, that this is the primary
fact controlling induction, without which the problem cannot even be
stated, much less solved; there is no ‘general inductive rule’. Yet
neither the term ‘prior information’ nor the concept ever appears in
Carnap’s exposition.

Title: *Homotopy Type Theory*
Instructor: Peter Lumsdaine
http://mathstat.dal.ca/~p.l.lumsdaine/(Dalhousie University, Canada)
15 Feb 2012 - 24 Feb 2012

Abstract:

These talks will provide an introduction to Homotopy Type Theory --
the exploration
of a fascinating and fruitful connection between logic and algebraic
topology that has emerged over the last few years.

Dependent Type Theory is a logical system expressive enough to give a
foundation
for mathematics, but at the same time very well-suited to computer
implementation.  In particular, if provides the basic language of many
proof assistants and formalisation systems -- in particular, Coq.

For the most part, its connection to more traditional set-theoretic foundations
is clear and well-understood, and moving between the two does not require
too much change in technique.  An exception to this is its treatment of
equality, which seems considerably more subtle than in classical
foundations (for reasons originally motivated by philosophical and
computational considerations).

The key idea of Homotopy Type Theory is that this strangeness is resolved
if one considers types as corresponding not to classical sets, but to
classical *spaces* (among which sets can still be discerned as the discrete
spaces).  The subtlety of equality can then be understood as coming from
the behavious of *paths* within a space, and be tamed using the insights of
modern algebraic topology.

Practically, this opens up applications in both directions: tools and
intuitions
for working in the type theory on the one hand; and on the other hand, a
very direct approach to the formalisation of algebraic topology.  More
philosophically, it gives a new and beautiful outlook on the universe of
mathematics, with spaces investigated not indirectly as constructed models,
but as fundamental objects of the language, as basic as sets are in the
classical picture.

Besides introducing the general setting, I will discuss Voevodsky's Univalence
Axiom (a strengthening of standard universe axioms), the concept of h-level
(homotopical dimension), and higher inductive types (a technique for
presenting a wide class of spaces, including cell complexes, within the type
 theory).

I'll use the Coq proof assistant for some exercises and examples.  I won't
assume previous familiarity with it, but I recommend getting it and trying
out the interface beforehand.  It's available from http://coq.inria.fr/,
and there are several good introductions online; I recommend the first few
exercises from http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/sf/toc.html.  Warning:
Coq can be
dangerously addictive!  (In the words of Andrew Appel: Coq is the world's
best video game.)

Much more reading (both light and heavy) on Homotopy Type Theory can be
found at http://homotopytypetheory.org.

[Logica-l] Fwd: [ATY/TCAC] Update - January 8, 2012

2012-01-18 Por tôpico Joao Marcos
Feliz Ano Turing a todos!

JM

-- Forwarded message --

More exciting news (in order received) as the Alan Turing Year gets into
its stride:

(1) First some book news - The long anticipated re-publication of Sara
Turing's biography of her son from Cambridge University Press is already
on Amazon for pre-order. Entitled simply Alan M. Turing, it includes a
new foreword from Martin Davis, plus the original moving tribute from Max
Newman's wife Lyn Irvine. Also there is a historically fascinating,
previously unpublished piece by John Turing written after his brother
Alan's death in 1954. Expect an engrossing read. The CUP webpage:
http://www.cambridge.org/aus/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9781107020580

Already published from Martin Davis (on December 13) is the 2nd edition of
his excellent The Universal Computer: The Road from Leibniz to Turing.
As the CRC blurb starts The breathtakingly rapid pace of change in
computing makes it easy to overlook the pioneers who began it all. There
is some added coverage of Konrad Zuse for this new addition - see:
http://bit.ly/y46sBz

Another major publishing event is the US Centenary Edition of Andrew
Hodges' Alan Turing: The Enigma from Princeton University Press:
http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9779.html

One more worth mentioning (more in the next update), also available for
pre-order from Amazon, is Alan Turing: His Work and Impact:
http://amzn.to/wEd7ba

From publisher Elsevier: This new and exciting book, scheduled to publish
for the 2012 centenary of Alan Turing's birth in London, includes a large
number of the most significant contributions from the 4-volume set of the
Collected Works of A. M. Turing.  These contributions, together with a
wide spectrum of accompanying commentaries from current world-leading
experts in many different fields and backgrounds, provide insight on the
significance and contemporary impact of A.M. Turing's work.

(2) Natasha Joska writes from Florida: I just want to add that there will
be a special Turing Centennial Lecture by Grzegorz Rozenberg at the 18th
DNA Computing and Molecular Programming conference in Aarhus, Denmark
August 14--17th. See the conference webpage:
http://dna18.au.dk/dna18/invited-speakers/

(3) Jean Paul Truc wrote: Thanks for your informations and happy new year
too. I'll probably use somme of them (translated in french) in the next
issue of our journal Quadrature (March\april).

We are very pleased to associate Quadrature, and by the way our
french-speaking readers, with the ATY celebration. We hope that the
epetition will be signed by many people ; French people should be grateful
to Alan Turing for the role he played during 2d world war at
Bletchley Park.

Much appreciated!

(4) From Bob Lubarsky (more from Florida) - a reminder about the very
special logic meeting he is organising, starting on January 13:
http://math.fau.edu/richman/FAU2012.html

I take the liberty of quoting Bob, since he echoes a comment from another
distinguished gay mathematician, who thinks that the ATY has far too
little from or for the gay community in evidence: I would not be
surprised if this is the only time a gay logician will speak about being
gay at an ATY event, as such topics typically don't fit into logic and CS
meetings. It is hard to deny this. The reasons are complex, and little
point in apportioning blame. But it would be nice to rectify. Suggestions
gratefully received and collated for the next update.

(5) Another nice piece of news from Paula Quinon: Hello, In Lund we
organize a workshop devoted to Philosophy and Computation (for more
details
see: http://www.fil.lu.se/conferences/conference.asp?id=51lang=se), the
event WAS inspired by the TURING CENTENARY celebration, and I was
wondering if it could be counted as an official centenary event.

An enthusiastic 'yes', of course. More info on this new ATY event at:
http://www.fil.lu.se/conferences/conference.asp?id=51lang=se

(6) For those finding all this a little too abstract - we have news via
Kelsey Griffin from Bletchley Park of a much more 'hands on' event -
Turing would have approved. Quoting from the new ATY Events entry:

June 14, 2012: Software Craftsmanship 2012 returns to its spiritual home
at Bletchley Park for a 3rd year for the Turing Centenary. The definitive
international conference for the practicing software craftsman, SC2012
will bring together 250 passionate programmers to share ideas, practice
their techniques and learn from each other.
In aid of Bletchley Park, SC2012 will this year be celebrating the life
and work of computing pioneer and codebreaker, Alan Turing, with a theme
of Computer Science for Software Craftsmen. Participants will be
encouraged to create and share coding exercises that explain data
structures and algorithms while reinforcing good coding practices. The
best exercises will be collected into a book aimed at self-taught
programmers and computer science students alike. Organiser: Jason Gorman

(certamente que a Templeton Foundation vai gostar da iniciativa)

* * *

Climb into Cantor's Attic, where you will find infinities large and
small. We aim to provide a comprehensive resource of information about
all notions of mathematical infinity. Our site is organized into
several large categories:

The upper attic
The upper attic is the realm of large cardinals and the higher
infinite, extending from inaccessibility to inconsistency.

The middle attic
The middle attic surveys the infinite cardinals whose existence can be
proved in, or is at least equiconsistent with, the ZFC axioms of set
theory.

The lower attic
The lower attic classifies various large countable ordinals.

The parlour
Aspiring to the attic, the parlour contains the truly vast finite numbers.

The playroom
Enjoy the stimulating entertainments of the playroom, full of fun and paradox.

The library
Peruse the selections of our library, the central repository of all
references cited here at Cantor's attic.

The cellar
Review the foundations of our subject with informative background
presentations of ideas used throughout the attic.

[Logica-l] Fwd: [ATY] January 18 update

Many thanks for all the feedback to the last email on updates - around 70
emails. Just a quick summary, and many apologies for not replying
individually to all the interesting suggestions, and nice comments. I
specially liked the comment from an editor for Nature:

there will never be too much information about Turing!

First, the 'bottom line' - around 23 votes for a weekly update, a handful
of appreciative votes for 'as now', and some for daily, and some thinking
outside the box - 'fortnightly', 'twice weekly'. So we'll try for weekly.
Mark Cotton pointed out the amount of news will vary as the year hots up -
certainly shows below.

A number of requests for more categories/organisation (including for ATY
website) - mainly asking for separate section for conferences. Various
special requests - eg, suggestions for categories, such as 'Schools',
'geographical' - and will start by hiving off conference info (if not of
specially wide interest) to section at bottom.

Finally, should mention a *lot* of interesting suggestions re use of web -
Facebook, RSS feed, Twitter, blogs, calendars, Wiki, Planets (venus) (what
is this?). Plus offers of help, many thanks.

Have to say, despite the neatness and niceness of various options - I'm
not keen to put this info meant just for us - sometimes definitely not yet
public, often not meant for the world to see, and not meant to be recorded
for ever - out on the web. There are privacy options for some, of course.
Also, I don't want to do anything adds to the work! And some of the
options I don't know how to do! In the meantime, I've counted around 7
different ATY Facebook pages, at least 3 Turing centenary Twitter users
(including @AlanTuringYear which is our official twitter feed, and
supplements the update for those use twitter), and a number of blogs. But
there are definitely some good ideas here, and obviously things like
calendar, RSS, Wiki etc need looking at.

Oh, and got a couple of requests for less commentary! so swiftly on to the
update ... and as Mark observed, just in a week loads of news, things
hotting up ...

GENERAL INTEREST:

1) Alexandre Borovik tells us that the Alan Turing Centenary Cryptography
Competition started officially on Monday 9th January and runs through
until 16 April 2012.  There are already over 170 teams registered at the
Cryptography website, with over 500 participating students:
http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/cryptography_competition_2012/

And, from Michael Kolling in Kent, a reminder that CAS (Computing at
School) are running a Turing-themed programming competition to celebrate
the ATY:
http://www.computingatschool.org.uk/index.php?id=codebreaker

2) Must pass on the news that TCAC member Sue Black (@dr_black on Twitter)
was voted 2011 top non-celebrity tweeter in the TECHNOLOGY section by The
Independent! See: http://ind.pn/zDs9nG

3) For the Alan Turing commemorative postage stamp, there are now four
excellent first-day covers in production by Bletchley Park Post Office:
https://secure3.host-it.co.uk/bletchleycovers-co-uk/store/categories_detail.asp?catref=1

And we are told that Bletchley Park are about to unleash their 'media
muscle'  to publicise these. The first print of the 'non-traditional' one
designed by Rebecca Peacock has already got a 'global response' and is
nearly sold out:
http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/Images/first-day.jpg

Here is a nice picture of Rebecca (who also designed the superb poster for
the CiE 2012 Turing Centenary Conference in Cambridge):
https://twitter.com/#!/Firecatcher_uk/status/159271301335363584/photo/1

And the covers using the lovely watercolours by Steve Williams look great,
and should also go very well too. See Turing sell out at:
http://www.bletchleycovers.com/history/latest-news.asp

4) Robert Horn has told us about a remarkable series of posters on the
theme: Can Computers Think? - 'an intellectual history of the Turing
debate' - see:
http://www.macrovu.com/CCTGeneralInfo.html

Robert writes:

They were were part of what is believed to be the first exhibit of
Information Design as a Fine Art at the Stroom Museum, Amsterdam, and the
University of Coventry Museum as well as receiving a review in Nature the
same year.

There are plans to get the whole series of 7 printed for use by event
organisers - please let us know if interested.

5) More news on the Ingenuity and Innovation exhibition being organised
by Turing Centenary Arts and Culture Cttee co-chair Anna Dumitriu, and
opening in Brighton in February:
http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/programme/intuition-and-ingenuity

It seems that Anna and Bletchley Park are discussing the possibility of
this imaginitive link to the Turing centenary being hosted for a period at
Bletchley Park. Terry Mitchell from BP Post Office comments that they are
very keen to promote art through Bletchley Park and organise a regular
