Counterfactual Desirability [PDF]
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2017 The desirability of what actually occurs is often influenced by what could have been. Preferences based on such value dependencies between actual and counterfactual outcomes generate a class of problems for orthodox decision theory, the best-known perhaps being the so-called Allais paradox.

Evaluation of counterfactuality in counterfactual communication protocols [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2017 We provide an in-depth investigation of parameter estimation in nested Mach-Zehnder interferometers (NMZIs) using two information measures: the Fisher information and the Shannon mutual information. Protocols for counterfactual communication have, so far, been based on two different definitions of counterfactuality.

Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2023, 2023 In the wake of responsible AI, interpretability methods, which attempt to provide an explanation for the predictions of neural models have seen rapid progress. In this work, we are concerned with explanations that are applicable to natural language processing (NLP) models and tasks, and we focus specifically on the analysis of counterfactual ...

COUNTERFACTUAL ANALYSIS BY ALGORITHMIC COMPLEXITY: A METRIC BETWEEN POSSIBLE WORLDS
Manuscrito, 2022 Counterfactuals have become an important area of interdisciplinary interest, especially in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, decision theory, and even artificial intelligence.

Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, 1975 The inclusion of the formulae \((A > B) \vee (A> -B)\) and \((A \& B) \supset(A> B)\) as theorems of conditional sentential calculi is criticised and reasons are offered for including \(\square(A\supset B)\supset . (B> C) \supset . \diamond (A \& C) \supset .(A> C)\) as a theorem in such calculi.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 A growing body of research suggests that counterfactual thinking after traumatic events is associated with post-traumatic stress reactions. In this study we explored frequency of upward and downward counterfactuals in trauma-exposed individuals, and how ...

Artificial Intelligence, 1986 The paper investigates properties of a non-standard implication \(>\) and its applications in Artificial Intelligence. Statements of the form \(p>q\) are called counterfactuals. Their interpretation does not necessarily coincide with the classic interpretation of \(p\supset q\) for those models \({\mathcal M}\) which satisfy \(\neg p\).

Determinism, Counterfactuals, and the Possibility of Time Travel
Philosophies, 2023 The Consequence argument is an argument from plausible premises–our lack of causal power over the laws and past–to an implausible conclusion: that if determinism is true, we are equally powerless with respect to the future.
