Taking Risks, With and Without Probabilities
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Some hold that expected utility is too restrictive in the way it handles risk. Risk‐weighted expected utility is an alternative that allows decision‐makers to have a range of attitudes toward probabilistic risk. It holds that any attitude within this range is instrumentally rational, since these attitudes represent different, equally good ...

Love him for the enemies he has made: Signaling by inflammatory pro‐gun rhetoric
Political Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract American politics is rife with messages designed to anger one's political enemies.

A Survey on Word Sense Disambiguation
IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering, 2013 Ambiguity has been always interwoven with human language and its evolution.

Winged horses, rascals and discourse referents
Theoria, EarlyView.Abstract This paper discusses some remarks Kaplan made in ‘Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice’ concerning empty names.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world. There is also an emerging consensus that children are Bayesian learners who combine their structured prior beliefs with estimations of the likelihood of new evidence to infer the most probable model of the world.
