Uncertainty Phobia and Epistemic Forbearance in a Pandemic

Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement, 2022
AbstractIn this chapter I show how challenges to our ability to tame the uncertainty of a pandemic leaves us vulnerable to uncertainty phobia. This is because, contrary to what we might hope, not all the uncertainty that matters can be tamed by our knowledge of the relevant probabilities.

Embracing epistemic uncertainty: a risk evaluation method for pollutants in stormwater

Water Science and Technology
In this study, we show that pollutants of emerging concern are, by nature, prone to the emergence of epistemic uncertainty. We also show that the current uncertainty quantification methods used for pollutant modelling rely almost exclusively on parameter

Seismic Risk of Infrastructure Systems with Treatment of and Sensitivity to Epistemic Uncertainty

Infrastructures, 2020
Modern society’s very existence is tied to the proper and reliable functioning of its Critical Infrastructure (CI) systems. In the seismic risk assessment of an infrastructure, taking into account all the relevant uncertainties affecting the problem is ...

An efficient numerical simulation method for evaluations of uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis of system with mixed uncertainties

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018
This article investigates uncertainty analysis for system with aleatory and epistemic uncertainties and defines a sensitivity analysis indicator to measure the effect of imprecise parameter with epistemic uncertainty on system output, and an efficient ...

UbiQTree: Uncertainty quantification in XAI with tree ensembles

Patterns
Summary: Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques, particularly Shapley additive explanations (SHAP), are essential for interpreting ensemble tree-based models in critical areas such as healthcare.

Questions and epistemic stance: Some examples from Italian conversations

Ampersand, 2018
Through the analysis of presuppositions, question design, social action and preference organisation in short fragments of Italian question-answer sequences, this paper aims to show that (1) wh-questions, on the one hand, and alternative and polar ...

Uncertainty of Counterfactuals in Deep Learning

Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, 2021
Counterfactuals have become a useful tool for explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Counterfactuals provide various perturbations to a data instance to yield an alternate classification from a machine learning model.

Probabilistic assessment of hydrologic retention performance of green roof considering aleatory and epistemic uncertainties

Hydrology Research, 2020
Green roofs (GRs) are well known for source control of runoff quantity in sustainable urban stormwater management. By considering the inherent randomness of rainfall characteristics, this study derives the probability distribution of rainfall retention ...

The Italian epistemic marker mi sa [to me it knows] compared to so [I know], non so [I don't know], non so se [I don't know whether], credo [I believe], penso [I think].

PLoS ONE, 2022
The two studies presented in this paper concern the Italian epistemic marker mi sa [lit. to me it knows], which seems to have no equivalent in other European languages and has received very little attention in the literature.
