This book analyzes the origins of statistical thinking as well as
its related philosophical questions, such as causality, determinism
or chance. Bayesian and frequentist approaches are subjected to a
historical, cognitive and epistemological analysis, making it
possible to not only compare the two competing theories, but to
also find a potential solution. The work pursues a naturalistic
approach, proceeding from the existence of numerosity in natural
environments to the existence of contemporary formulas and
methodologies to heuristic pragmatism, a concept introduced in the
book's final section. This monograph will be of interest to
philosophers and historians of science and students in related
fields. Despite the mathematical nature of the topic, no
statistical background is required, making the book a valuable read
for anyone interested in the history of statistics and human
cognition.
Why AI does not include gender in its agenda? The role of gender in
AI, both as part of the community of agents creating such
technologies, as well as part of the contents processed by such
technologies is, by far, conflictive. Women have been, again,
obliterated by this fundamental revolution of our century. Highly
innovative and the first step in a series of future studies in this
field, this book covers several voices, topics, and perspectives
that allow the reader to understand the necessity to include into
the AI research agenda such points of view and also to attract more
women to this field. The multi-disciplinarity of the contributors,
which uses plain language to show the current situation in this
field, is a fundamental aspect of the value of this book. Any
reader with a genuine interest in the present and future of AI
should read it.
This interdisciplinary volume gathers selected, refereed
contributions on various aspects of public health from several
disciplines and research fields, including the philosophy of
science, epidemiology, statistics and ethics. The contributions
were originally presented at the 1st Barcelona conference of
"Philosophy of Public Health" (5th - 7th May 2016). This book is
intended for researchers interested in public health and the
contemporary debates surrounding it.

There are many different approaches to understanding human
consciousness. By conducting research to better understand various
biological mechanisms, these can be redefined and utilized for
technological purposes. Advanced Research on Biologically Inspired
Cognitive Architectures is an essential reference source for the
latest scholarly research on the biological elements of human
cognition and examines the applications of consciousness within
computing environments. Featuring exhaustive coverage on a broad
range of innovative topics and perspectives, such as artificial
intelligence, bio-robotics, and human-computer interaction, this
publication is ideally designed for academics, researchers,
professionals, graduate students, and practitioners seeking current
research on the exploration of the intricacies of consciousness and
different approaches of perception.
Emotions convey significant information through means of natural
language analysis, embodiment, and emotional signing. Machines
equipped with the ability to experience and interpret emotions
perform better in complex environments and share in the
emotionally-rich social context. The Handbook of Research on
Synthesizing Human Emotion in Intelligent Systems and Robotics
presents a solid framework for taking human-robot interaction
closer to its full potential. Presenting a close look at all the
factors involved in modeling emotions and applying a thorough
understanding of human emotional recognition to technology, this
volume appeals to active researchers in the fields of artificial
emotions, artificial intelligence, computing, robotics, philosophy,
and psychology, as well as to students interested in the research
of synthetic emotions.
As humans interact more often and more intimately with computers,
and as computational systems become an ever more important element
of our society, playing roles in education, the production of
culture and goods, and management, it is inevitable that we should
seek to interact with these systems in ways that take advantage of
our powerful emotional capabilities. Creating Synthetic Emotions
through Technological and Robotic Advancements compiles progressive
research in the emerging and groundbreaking fields of artificial
emotions, affective computing, and sociable robotics that allow
humans to begin the once impossible-seeming task of interacting
with robots, systems, devices, and agents. This landmark volume
brings together expert international researchers to expound upon
these topics as synthetic emotions move toward becoming a daily
reality.
Thinking Machines and the Philosophy of Computer Science: Concepts
and Principles presents a conversation between established experts
and new researchers in the field of philosophy and computer science
about human and non-human relationships with the environment. This
resource contains five sections including topics on philosophical
analysis, the posterior ethical debate, the nature of computer
simulations, and the crossroads between robotics, AI, cognitive
theories and philosophy.
