*Call for Papers*
TARK 2013
14th Conference on Theoretical Aspects of Rationality and Knowledge
January 7-9, 2013
The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, India
Conference website: http://www.imsc.res.in/tark/
About the Conference
The mission of the TARK conferences is to bring together researchers
from a wide variety of fields, including Artificial Intelligence,
Cryptography, Distributed Computing, Economics and Game Theory,
Linguistics, Philosophy, and Psychology, in order to further our
understanding of interdisciplinary issues involving reasoning about
rationality and knowledge. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, semantic models for knowledge, belief, awareness and
uncertainty, bounded rationality and resource-bounded reasoning,
commonsense epistemic reasoning, epistemic logic, epistemic game
theory, knowledge and action, applications of reasoning about
knowledge and other mental states, belief revision, and foundations of
multi-agent systems.
Invited Speakers
Pierpaolo Battigalli, Bocconi University
Lin Fangzhen, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Rineke Verbrugge, University of Groningen
Submissions are now invited to TARK 2013. Extended Abstracts can be
submitted here:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tark2013
Strong preference will be given to papers whose topic is of interest
to an interdisciplinary audience, and papers should be accessible to
such an audience. Papers will be held to the usual high standards of
research publications. In particular, they should 1) contain enough
information to enable the program committee to identify the main
contribution of the work; 2) explain the significance of the work --
its novelty and its practical or theoretical implications; and 3)
include comparisons with and references to relevant literature.
Abstracts should be no longer than ten double-spaced pages (4,000
words). Optional technical details such as proofs may be included in
an appendix. An email address of the contact author should be
included. Papers arriving late or departing significantly from these
guidelines risk immediate rejection. One author of each accepted
paper will be expected to present the paper at the conference.
Economists should be aware that special arrangements have been made
with certain economics journals (in particular, with International
Journal of Game Theory, Games and Economic Behavior, Journal of
Economic Theory, and Mathematical Social Sciences, so that publication
of an extended abstract in TARK will not prejudice publication of a
full journal version.
TARK 2013 will precede the Indian Conference on Logics and
Applications (ICLA) held from January 10 - 12, 2013, also at the
Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Chennai, India.
TARK 2013 is the 14th conference of the TARK conference series.
Previous conferences have been held bi-annually around the world. The
most recent conference was held 2011 at the University of Groningen,
Netherlands, see http://www.philos.rug.nl/TARK2011/. The proceedings
of all previous TARK conferences can be accessed here
http://www.tark.org/.
TARK 2013 is the first TARK conference to be held in India. It is also
the first TARK conference to be held in January.

題目:Models of size aleph_1 in abstract elementary classes
アブストラクト:
We will present some applications of set theoretic techniques to the study
of models of
cardinality aleph_1 in various abstract elementary classes. The impetus for
this work was the still-open
question of absoluteness of aleph_1-categoricity for the class of models of
a fixed sentence of L_{omega_1, omega}.
Most of our results apply to the class of analytically presented AEC's,
those whose restriction to countable models is analytic.
These classes have been studied for many years under various names. Time
permitting, connections with Vaught's
Conjecture will also be discussed. This is joint work with Baldwin and
Shelah.

CONFERENCE LOCATION
Advances in Modal Logic 2012 will be held at
the IDA conference centre in downtown Copenhagen:
http://ida.dk/sites/moedecenter/english/Sider/EnglishForside.aspx

SPECIAL SESSION ON HYBRID LOGIC. Hybrid logic is an extension of modal logic
allowing to refer explicitly to states of the model in the syntax of formulas.
There will be a special session of AiML devoted to papers on hybrid logic.
The scope of the special session is standard hybrid-logical machinery like
nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder, but also other
extensions of modal logic can be considered.
SPECIAL SESSION IN HONOUR OF LARISA MAKSIMOVA. There will be a
special session of AiML devoted to papers and talks in honour of Larisa
Maksimova, in recognition of her many outstanding contributions to modal
logic.

Abstracts:
上垣渉 尺度推意(scalar implicature)、その材料とレシピ
自然言語の文は、ときに、それに含まれる語彙を「字義通り」に解釈した意味よりも強い(取り消し可能な)解釈を生み出すことがある。例えば、日本語母語話者は、日本語において選言に対応するとされる「pまたはq」は、「pかつq、ではない」(あるいは「pかつqであるとは話者は知らない」)という解釈をもつという直観をもつ。Grice(1975)
以降、このような事実は、文が表す意味を「字義通りの意味(literal
meaning)」と「推意(implicature)」に分け、前者は言語に固有の文法的メカニズムによって生み出され、後者は言語に限らないコミュニケーション一般における推論によって字義通りの意味から導きだされるとする考えが言語学においては一般的である。ただ、後者の推意を生み出すメカニズムがどのようなものであるかに関しては、近年まで理論的な精緻化は比較的乏しく、推意は伝統的な意味論的分析を守るために分析と事実の齟齬を放り込んでおくためのある種のブラックボックス(あるいは「語用論的ゴミ箱(pragmatic
wastebasket)」)として機能していた傾向がある。ところが、推意とくに尺度推意(scalar
implicature)の近年の研究の展開において、字義通りの意味から推意が導かれる具体的なメカニズムの理論が精緻化されてきている(例えば、Jäger(2011),
Franke (2009) によるゲーム理論的モデル、Goodman & Stuhlmuller
(2012)によるベイズ理論を用いたモデル、Chierchia (2004), Chierchia, Fox & Spector
(2011)による尺度推意を文法自体に組み込むモデルなど)。本発表では、この理論的展開において重要な意義をもつ二つの問題、すなわち
(i)推意を生み出すのは「文法外」のメカニズムに限られるのか、(ii)推意の導出の際に用いられる代替発話(alternative
utterances)の集合はいかにして規定されるのか、についての最近の研究を紹介する。そして、(i)の問題については、推意を文法に組み込む仮説がその主要な証拠としてきた「埋め込まれた尺度推意(embedded
scalar implicature)」が、必ずしも推意に関する語用論的な見方と矛盾しないこと、(ii)の問題については、談話における「議題となる疑問(Question
under Discussion)」が代替発話を規定するのに重要な役割を果たすことを議論したい。
八木沢敬 可能世界を超える可能性
標準的な可能世界の枠組みでは、すべての可能性は何らかの可能世界での実現として理解される。本論では、この理解を批判する。まず、標準的な可能世界の枠組みによる様相の理解の根底にあるアイデアを「別域の方法」(method
of alternatives)として同定し、次に、それを可能世界を擁する論理空間そのものに関する様相言明に適用することによって、可能世界での実現としては理解できない可能性の概念を明らかにする。それにあたって、現実世界についての様相、信念の様相、背理法の使用、思考の様相などを考察する。
上出哲広 An embedding-based method for non-classical logics
An embedding-based proof method for some non-classical logics is
presented. This method can uniformly prove the
cut-elimination,completeness, decidability and Craig interpolation
theorems for some non-classical logics including some paraconsistent
and temporal logics. This method is based on two theorems for
syntactically and semantically embedding the required non-classical
logic into its negation-less or time-less fragment. Firstly in this
talk, some results on Nelson's paraconsistent logic and its neighbors,
which have recently been obtained by Kamide and Wansing, are
presented. Secondly, some results on linear-time temporal logic and
its neighbors are presented.
