Defeasible Inference in Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence
On Friday, October 11, and Saturday, October 12, the Philosophy department, with members from UCLA Computer Science, will host “Defeasible Inference in Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence.”
The workshop brings together researchers from philosophy, computer science, and allied disciplines who work on non-monotonic logics and defeasible inference. The idea is to connect traditional philosophical reflections on these topics–defeat in epistemology, prima facie duties in ethics, and belief revision in philosophy of science– with the rich tradition of non-monotonic logics in computer science and artificial intelligence, including default logic and logic programming.
