Dear all, (please feel free to forward)
We have a talk by Prof Herbert Jaeger (https://www.ai.rug.nl/minds/herbert/) from the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen: Date: 25 Jan 2024 Time: 11 AM to 12 PM Location: L016, CWI, Amsterdam
Title: "It has taken 2350 years to understand symbolic-logical computing. Next step: understanding brains and stuff"
Abstract: For digital computing we possess a formal theory foundation that deeply roots in Western philosophical history, is mathematically transparent, has been worked out and stabilized and codified into a standart textbook format, and obviously has changed the world through digital computers. For information processing in neuromorphic microchips, or in other new and to-be-found hardware substrates based on unconventional physical effects, or in biological brains or other natural systems, we do not have anything like a unifying formal theory foundation. But we need it, and it should not only be academically acceptable but really practically useful. In my talk I will draw a quick overall picture of this situation, and then present my own approach toward formulating such a general formal theory for information processing in non-digital, non-symbolic dynamical systems.
Best, Aditya.
