Exploring Structures of Inferential Mechanisms through Simplistic Digital Circuits
Giovanni Sileno, Jean-Louis Dessalles
Cognitive studies and artificial intelligence have developed distinct models for various inferential mechanisms (categorization, induction, abduction, causal inference, contrast, m…
Searching for Actual Causes: Approximate Algorithms with Adjustable Precision
Samuel Reyd, Ada Diaconescu, Jean-Louis Dessalles
Causality has gained increasing attention in recent years, notably for improving the interpretability of machine learning models. Yet the field of explainable artificial intelligen…
Why Honor Heroes? The emergence of extreme altruistic behavior as a by-product of praisers' self-promotion
Jean-Louis Dessalles
Heroes are people who perform costly altruistic acts. Few people turn out to be heroes, but many spontaneously honor heroes by commenting, applauding, or enthusiastically celebrati…
Three Conjectures on Unexpectedeness
Giovanni Sileno, Jean-Louis Dessalles
Unexpectedness is a central concept in Simplicity Theory, a theory of cognition relating various inferential processes to the computation of Kolmogorov complexities, rather than pr…
From Probabilistic Programming to Complexity-based Programming
Giovanni Sileno, Jean-Louis Dessalles
The paper presents the main characteristics and a preliminary implementation of a novel computational framework named CompLog. Inspired by probabilistic programming systems like Pr…
Runaway signals: Exaggerated displays of commitment may result from second-order signaling
Julien Lie-Panis, Jean-Louis Dessalles
To demonstrate their commitment, for instance during wartime, members of a group will sometimes all engage in the same ruinous display. Such uniform, high-cost signals are hard to…
