⏰ The 🧑‍🎓 travel support application and 👶 childcare support applications are both due in ~25h!

The former is open to all students and postdocs (not necessarily authors of a paper). The latter provides financial support (to be used in any childcare-related way) to conference attendees!

❓ Do we really know what an algorithm is? To learn more about interdisciplinary work between philosophy and computer science, check out the CNRS online journal:

Dans ses discours, le Ministère de l'Éducation nationale prétend soutenir une Tech "sobre et souveraine", sans dépendance aux GAFAM.

Dans les faits, Amazon héberge massivement les données scolaires. Exemple avec cette photo attachée au mail envoyé hier par la Ministre à tous les personnels.

Happy to be at CUNY today to workshop about the theoretical foundations of AI! Fun to have several perspectives---math, philosophy, linguistics and more---together in one place!

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

Last week I visited Chapman university and gave a talk titled “Logical structures arising from corpora”. It tackles the question: can statistical data from a corpus be used to extract (some) mathematical structure of natural language?

“Does language have a logical structure?”

This is the title of a talk in which I discussed a recent collaboration with S. Jarvis and J. Terilla (CUNY), G. Gastaldi (ETH), and L. Pellissier (U. Créteil). It involves NLP, linear logic, categories and tropical geometry.
