Opening Keynote: Cognitive Science of Reasoning

Keynote Talk: Thomas Icard, Associate Professor of Philosophy and (by courtesy) of Computer Science at Stanford University

Bio: Thomas Icard works at the intersection of philosophy, cognitive science, and computer science, especially on topics that sit near the boundary between the normative (how we ought to think and act) and the descriptive (how we in fact do think and act). Much of his research concerns the theory and application of logic, probability, and causal modeling and inference. Some current topics of interest include explanation, the quantitative/qualitative interface, and reasoning with limited resources.
