Speaker: Owen Griffiths, Department of Philosophy, University College LondonChair: Bruno Bentzen, School of Philosophy, Zhejiang UniversityVenue: Zoom meeting ID: 282 901 4273Watch Live: https://b23.tv/9YZ8UR5 Abstract:Ontological monists hold that all existents exist in exactly the same sense. Ontological pluralists hold that there are many different notions of existence, e.g. concrete objects like tables and chairs exist in a different way to abstract objects like numbers and sets. Correspondingly, the monist will want the familiar existential quantifier as a primitive logical constant, whereas the pluralist will want distinct ones, e.g. for abstract and concrete existence.This dialogue examines how the debate between the monist and pluralist relates to standard tests for logicality. We first consider the best-known semantic test for logicality—isomorphism invariance—and then the best-known syntactic test—inferentialism. In both cases, we argue that the tests deliver judgements about logicality that favour the monist.

Speaker: Daniel Rothschild, Professor of Philosophy of Language at University College LondonVenue: Zoom meeting ID: 2829014273Abstract: Many proponents of Bayesianism it as giving general norms governing how we should revise our beliefs in the light of new evidence. I argue for skepticism about the scope of Bayesian norms, arguing that their range of application may be restricted to a rather narrow range of cases. I examine other ways in which Bayesianism may be taken as a guide to our doxastic processes.

Speaker: SUN Liuquan, Chinese Academy of SciencesVenue: Tencent Meeting ID: 922-418-797Abstract: In this talk, we develop variable screening methods for several varying coefficient hazards models, including varying coefficient additive hazards model, varying coefficient Cox model, and the varying coefficient hazards models of single-index form. The proposed methods enjoy the sure screening property, and some iterative procedures are developed. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the finite sample performances of the proposed method. Applications to real dataexamples are also provided.

Time: 07:30-09:00 NEW YORK (GMT-4)13:30-15:00 GENEVA (GMT+2)19:30-21:00 BEIJING (GMT+8)Register HERE Session Concept NoteThe promotion of open science furnishes new avenues for the engagement, innovative culture, and quality assurance in the scaled-up graduate education for developing countries. These well-educated cohorts, female and male, will become vital force in economic development of the nations in Global South and form the backbone of its competitiveness and innovation. This side event intends to convene representatives from multi-stakeholders including top universities, global publishers, NGOs and academics to explore the interaction between Open Science and quality graduate education in Global South under South-South collaborations. Discussions are set around 1) transformative effects of open science to address pressing challenges of graduate education in Global South, especially under pandemic situation; 2) roles of international multi-stakeholders in preparing graduates from developing countries with the required qualities to become researchers nourished by open science; 3) the best practices of current/future collaborative models for quality graduate education in Global South, especially for women; and 4) a global effort for providing inclusive and affordable open data for Global South. This dialogue will forge a consensus over the concept of open science on graduate education in Global South and deliver valuable recommendations on next steps.

Speaker: GAO Chao, Assistant Professor, Department of Statistics and the College, University of ChicagoVenue: Tencent meeting ID: 417-340-765 (Code: 13579)Abstract:We fully characterize the nonasymptotic minimax separation rate for sparse signal detection in the Gaussian sequence model with p equicorrelated observations, generalizing a result of Collier, Comminges, and Tsybakov. As a consequence of the rate characterization, we find that strong correlation is a blessing, moderate correlation is a curse, and weak correlation is irrelevant. Moreover, the threshold correlation level yielding a blessing exhibits phase transitions at the \sqrt{p} and p-\sqrt{p} sparsity levels. We also establish the emergence of new phase transitions in the minimax separation rate with a subtle dependence on the correlation level. Additionally, we study group structured correlations and derive the minimax separation rate in a model including multiple random effects. The group structure turns out to fundamentally change the detection problem from the equicorrelated case and different phenomena appear in the separation rate.
