A not-too-simple solution to Goodman's New Riddle of induction
Luigi Scorzato
I review the works of Gärdenfors (1990) and Scorzato (2013) and show that their combination provides an elegant solution of Goodman's new riddle of induction. The solution is based…
Reliability and Interpretability in Science and Deep Learning
Luigi Scorzato
In recent years, the question of the reliability of Machine Learning (ML) methods has acquired significant importance, and the analysis of the associated uncertainties has motivate…
Science and Illusions
Luigi Scorzato
It is mostly agreed that Popper's criterion of falsifiability fails to provide a useful demarcation between science and pseudo-science, because ad-hoc assumptions are always able t…
A simple model of scientific progress - with examples
Luigi Scorzato
One of the main goals of scientific research is to provide a description of the empirical data which is as accurate and comprehensive as possible, while relying on as few and simpl…
The Lefschetz thimble and the sign problem
Luigi Scorzato
In this talk I review the proposal to formulate quantum field theories (QFTs) on a Lefschetz thimble, which was put forward to enable Monte Carlo simulations of lattice QFTs affect…
An efficient method to compute the residual phase on a Lefschetz thimble
M. Cristoforetti, F. Di Renzo, G. Eruzzi +4
We propose an efficient method to compute the so-called residual phase that appears when performing Monte Carlo calculations on a Lefschetz thimble. The method is stochastic and it…
