The #CLEA research group will host another online meeting on #cognitivescience.
Now we'll discuss the "hard problem of content" regarding #mentalrepresentation in #cognition.
William Ramsey (main speaker) is going to present his paper "The hard problem of content is neither" and Ian Robertson will be the commentator.
NEW DATE: December 18, 2 a.m. (Brasilia time)

I am glad to let you known the #CLEA research group is hosting another online meeting on the foundations of #cognitivescience!
This time we will discuss the relation between the concept of #mentalrepresentation and #situatedness in #cognition and #embodiedcognition through the work of Gualtiero Piccinini (main speaker) and Marco Facchin (commentator).

On April 10th, the CLEA research group (#cognition, #language, #enactivism and #affectivity) will host the first online event of the series "the future of enactivism".
Russell Meyer and Guilherme Sanches will debate the distinction between Utopian and Scientific Enactivism.

Here's the outstanding program of the first webconference of the International Society for the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind (ISPSM).
» more theoretical thinking and less (unthinking) #ml or less confusion between #machinelearning and theory
Then #AI can be a useful theoretical tool...
The thesis of #computationalism implies that it is possible in principle to understand human cognition as a form of computation.
However, this does not imply that it is possible in practice to computationally (re)make cognition «

Understanding and Mitigating the Top 10 Vulnerabilities in Large Language Model Applications
Very nice paper. It seems like the #ai community is moving towards a debate that's similar to that between the contextualist and minimalist perspectives on @philosophy of language.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have come closest among all models to date to mastering human language, yet opinions about their linguistic and cognitive capabilities remain split. Here, we evaluate LLMs using a distinction between formal linguistic competence -- knowledge of linguistic rules and patterns -- and functional linguistic competence -- understanding and using language in the world. We ground this distinction in human neuroscience, which has shown that formal and functional competence rely on different neural mechanisms. Although LLMs are surprisingly good at formal competence, their performance on functional competence tasks remains spotty and often requires specialized fine-tuning and/or coupling with external modules. We posit that models that use language in human-like ways would need to master both of these competence types, which, in turn, could require the emergence of mechanisms specialized for formal linguistic competence, distinct from functional competence.
