Connectionist Models Summer School

Binocular depth perception, or stereopsis, depends on matching corresponding points in two images taken from two vantage points. In random-dot stereograms the features to be matched are individual pixels. We have used the recurrent backpropagation learning algorithm of Pineda (1987) to construct network models with lateral and feedback connections that can solve the correspondence problem for r...

ICCL Summer School 2008

Jüngste Erkenntnisse deuten darauf hin, dass das menschliche Schlussfolgern wohl doch „logischer“ ist als lange Zeit angenommen wurde. Hierdurch motiviert boten neun Dozenten den Teilnehmern der ICCL Summer School ein inhaltlich tiefgreifendes und gleichzeitig vielseitiges Programm an Theorie-Tutorien in den Bereichen der Kognitionswissenschaften und formaler Logik. Der zweiwöchige Zeitrahmen e...

Forcing Summer School Lecture Notes

These are the lecture notes for the forcing class in the 2014 UCLA Logic Summer School. They are a revision of the 2013 Summer School notes. The most substantial differences are a new proof of the forcing theorems in section 10.3 and a final section on the consistency of the failure of the axiom of choice. Both write-ups are by Sherwood Hachtman; the former is based on the author’s notes from a...

A summer school in Catania

In the summer of 1997 we ran the PRAGMATIC summer school in Catania. After many different thoughts about the format, we decided to try an experiment: We made a list of 18 research problems (reproduced below) and handed it out on the first day of class. Early in the first week we went through the list briefly explaining the background of the problems, and asked each student to choose a problem t...
