Bayesian Confirmation Theory: Inductive Logic, or Mere Inductive Framework?
Does the Bayesian theory of confirmation put real constraints on our inductive behavior? Or is it just a framework for systematizing whatever kind of inductive behavior we prefer? Colin Howson (Hume’s Problem) has recently championed the second view. I argue that he is wrong, in that the Bayesian apparatus as it is usually deployed does constrain our judgments of inductive import, but also that...
متن کاملDeciding Inductive Validity of Equations
Kapur and Subramaniam [12] defined syntactical classes of equations where inductive validity can be decided automatically. However, these classes are quite restrictive, since defined function symbols with recursive definitions may only appear on one side of the equations. In this paper, we expand the decidable class of equations significantly by allowing both sides of equations to be expressed ...
متن کاملDeciding the Inductive Validity of ∀∃∗ Queries
We present a new saturation-based decidability result for inductive validity. Let Σ be a finite signature in which all function symbols are at most unary and let N be a satisfiable Horn clause set without equality in which all positive literals are linear. If N ∪ {A1, . . . , An →} belongs to a class that can be finitely saturated by ordered resolution modulo variants, then it is decidable whet...

Slide #0 (Title). Before I get underway, I’d like to quickly thank a few people. First, Jonathan Vogel and John MacFarlane for working behind the scenes to make this thing happen. And, of course, David Christensen for chairing, and Patrick Maher and Jim Joyce for participating. I especially want to thank Patrick for his terrific feedback on my work this term, which has helped me to get much cle...
