Hawking Radiation and Analogue Experiments: A Bayesian Analysis [PDF]
, 2015 We present a Bayesian analysis of the epistemology of analogue experiments with particular reference to Hawking radiation. First, we prove that such experiments can be confirmatory in Bayesian terms based upon appeal to 'universality arguments'.

Simulating Future Test and Redesign Considering Epistemic Model Uncertainty [PDF]
18th AIAA Non-Deterministic Approaches Conference, 2016 At the initial design stage engineers oft.en rely onlow-fldelity models that have high epistemic uncertainty. Taditional safety-margin-based deterministic design resorts to testing to reduce epistemic uncertainty and achieve targeted levels of safety. Testing is used to calibrate models and prescribe redesign when tests are not passed.

The future of cognitive science is pluralistic, but what does that mean?
Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia, 2023 We imagine the future of cognitive science by first considering its past, which shows remarkable transformation from a field that, although interdisciplinary, was initially marked by a narrow set of assumptions concerning its subject matter.

, 2014 When agents know a protocol, this leads them to have expectations about future observations. Agents can update their knowledge by matching their actual observations with the expected ones. They eliminate states where they do not match.

Epistemic stance without epistemic modals: the case of the presumptive future
Semantics and Linguistic Theory, 2019 This paper deals with the non-temporal use of the future in Italian knownas ‘epistemic’ or ‘presumptive’ (PF) in declaratives and interrogatives. We firstdistinguish PF from epistemic necessity and possibility, as well as from weaknecessity modals, providing in the process the main empirical challenges PF raises.We then propose and justify a semantic ...

, 2020 This paper concerns a puzzle about the interaction of epistemic modals and future tense. In cases of predictable forgetfulness, speakers cannot describe their future states of mind with epistemic modals under future tense, but promising theories of ...

Belief as Willingness to Bet [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate modal logics of high probability having two unary modal operators: an operator $K$ expressing probabilistic certainty and an operator $B$ expressing probability exceeding a fixed rational threshold $c\geq\frac 12$.
