New Developments in Chinese Studies of Contemporary Inductive Logic
Asian Studies, 2022 Contemporary Chinese studies in inductive logic have long revolved around the unfolding of a philosophical investigation into Hume’s problem. Led by research in probabilistic logic, the principal content of contemporary Chinese logic consists of ...

The Problem of Analogical Inference in Inductive Logic [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 We consider one problem that was largely left open by Rudolf Carnap in his work on inductive logic, the problem of analogical inference. After discussing some previous attempts to solve this problem, we propose a new solution that is based on the ideas ...

Naturalizing Logic: How Knowledge of Mechanisms Enhances Inductive Inference
Philosophies, 2021 This paper naturalizes inductive inference by showing how scientific knowledge of real mechanisms provides large benefits to it. I show how knowledge about mechanisms contributes to generalization, inference to the best explanation, causal inference, and

Abductive Logic of Inquiry for Quantitative Research in the Digital Age
Sociological Science, 2021 We propose an abductive logic of scientific inference for quantitative research. The advent of computational sociology has exposed the limitations of a deductive logic of inquiry for quantitative researchers due to a lack of traditional sociological ...

CoRR, 2016 We present a computable algorithm that assigns probabilities to every logical statement in a given formal language, and refines those probabilities over time. For instance, if the language is Peano arithmetic, it assigns probabilities to all arithmetical statements, including claims about the twin prime conjecture, the outputs of long-running ...
