Philosophy of Autonomous Science
Artificial intelligence is beginning to make remarkable contributions in science, from protein design to materials discovery and experiment design. Yet we believe that moving from powerful tools to autonomous scientists is not just a technical challenge but also a deep philosophical and conceptual one. For that reason, we argue for a Philosophy of Autonomous Science (PAS) : a program that translates core epistemic aims, including understanding, c…
Strong novelty regained
On Values in Fairness Optimization with Machine Learning
Statistical criteria of fairness, although controversial, bring attention to the multiobjective nature of many predictive modeling problems. In this article, I consider how epistemic and nonepistemic values help to justify the design of machine learning algorithms that optimize for more than one normative goal. I focus on a major design choice between biased search strategies that directly incorporate priorities for various objectives into an opt…
Some dilemmas for an account of neural representation
Tobacco Use by College Students
Nondaily and daily smokers differed on several demographic and contextual factors, but reported mostly similar health risk behaviors
Free Alcohol Use and Consequences
Approximately 25% of undergraduates frequently obtained free alcohol. Females obtained more often, had higher odds of high-risk drinking, and experienced fewer consequences compared to males
