Linear superposition as a core theorem of quantum empiricism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Clarifying the nature of the quantum state $|\Psi\rangle$ is at the root of the problems with insight into (counterintuitive) quantum postulates. We provide a direct-and math-axiom free-empirical derivation of this object as an element of a vector space.

‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs in the making of language‐oriented AI « Tout est signal » : circuits parlants et signes bruyants dans la création de l'IA orientée langage

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.

Preventing lower‐level gambling harms: Shifting from individual‐ to system‐frame approaches

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gambling‐related harm is not concentrated solely among individuals meeting criteria for problematic or disordered gambling. Tackling harm at a population level is essential to reducing the total burden of harm and preventing escalation to more severe harms.

Extending reliability to intensive longitudinal data with the Kalman filter

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliability is central to how researchers approach measurement in standard, group‐based analyses of single‐time‐point data, yet this critical aspect is often overlooked in the analysis of repeated observations. Since its inception, reliability has been a between‐person concept, but we redevelop this notion for within‐person designs by ...

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...

On Schopenhauer's Debt to Spinoza1

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Schopenhauer offers ‘nature is not divine but demonic’ as a direct rebuttal of Spinoza's pantheism, his identification of ‘nature’ with ‘God’. And so, one would think, he ought to have been immune to the ‘Spinozism’ that became, as Heine called it, ‘the unofficial religion’ of the age.

Evidence Gathering Under Competitive and Noncompetitive Rewards

open access: yesJournal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reward schemes may affect not only agents' effort but also their incentives to gather information in order to reduce the riskiness of the productive activity. In a laboratory experiment using a novel task, we find that the relationship between incentives and evidence gathering depends critically on the availability of information about peers ...

Axiomatization and Models of Scientific Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper we discuss two approaches to the axiomatization of scien- tific theories in the context of the so called semantic approach, according to which (roughly) a theory can be seen as a class of models.
