New paper!
We have been interested in R-enriched adjunctions, motivated to understand structures arising from statistical data over textual corpora. This first paper delves into the geometric structure. A companion paper devoted to the logical structure is being finalised. Stay tuned!

If you’re in NYC, come tomorrow and Friday to discuss Venarcular AI at the Digital Theory Lab NYU. @leifw.bsky.social has put up a fantastique program, including @davidchalmers.bsky.social @whkchun.bsky.social @tallinzen.bsky.social and many other brilliant colleagues. You can also attend online

on Feb 6-7, the Digital Theory Lab at NYU will host an all-star cast of talks for "Vernacular AI"

I'm excited to participate in this Symposium organized by the great @leifw.bsky.social at NYU, alongside so many outstanding colleagues. Drop by if you're in NYC on Feb 6-7!

In NYC from Aug 19th. DM me if you’re around!

I'll ask around, someone near me should know

Not really ML/subsymbolic, but definitively worth taking a look if you don't know them, since they are surprisingly early: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strache... Troy Astarte has been giving a few talks on this

Thrilled to see this paper finally out at the AMS Notices! Fantastic experience as a philosopher to work hand in hand with the talented mathematicians J Terilla and T-D Bradley on what a structuralist theory of language could be today. A modest proof that philo doesn’t have to be confined to ethics

Liberally-educated students need to be more than consumers of AI If I'm buying a thinking process, I really need to understand what I see when I look under the hood.

New blog post, trying to get beyond a debate that has so far treated students mostly as consumers of AI. In the twenty-first century, critical thinking will require understanding how models work.
