Poznan Reasoning Week
Poznan Reasoning Week (print version)
Poznań, Poland, 5-10.09.2016
https://poznanreasoningweek.wordpress.com/
In recent years we are witnessing a cognitive turn in logic. It results in inclusion of some areas of cognitive science, psychology and computer science into its hard core. Consequently, logic becomes capable of modelling actual cognitive activity of real life agents. This turn does not create a rival for the mathematical logic: it forms a next step in the development of logic. It also reminds that for many centuries logic stood in a close and natural relationship to the science of actual reasoning processes.
Poznań Reasoning Week, consisting of three conferences, aims at bringing together experts from various fields, whose research focus on reasoning processes and their modelling from three perspectives:
- the interplay of logic and cognition (Logic and Cognition 2016);
- formal modelling of reasoning and argumentation (14th ArgDiap);
- natural question processing (QuestPro 2016).
Logic and Cognition 2016 , 5-6.09.2016
Logic and Cognition is an initiative focusing on research on the interplay of logic, cognitive science, psychology and computer science which aim at sheding the light on actual reasoning processes. In particular we invite submissions on:
- applications of logic to the analysis of actual human reasoning,
- tools and methods suited for such applications,
- neural basis of logical reasoning,
- educational issues of cognitively-oriented logic.
14th ArgDiap: Formal Models of Reasoning and Argumentation , 7-8.09.2016
In a joint initiative with ArgDiap organisation we invite submissions on theory and practice of argumentation, formal modelling of argumentative processes, dialogue and persuasion, and empirical research on these phenomena.
QuestPro 2016 , 9-10.09.2016
There is only a little exaggeration in saying that fluency in reasoning with questions is a landmark of human intelligence. Question processing is a crucial factor in information processing in general, and more often than not the effectiveness of the latter depends on successfull execution of the former. The main purpose of QuestPro 2016 is to assess the state-of-the-art in research on questions and questioning, from the point of view of both logic and its applications to modelling natural language processes, thus bridging the gap between formal and empirical research in this field.
