How to Benefit from Uncertainty: An Introduction to Paraconsistent Bayesian Update

Explore a thought-provoking seminar presentation from the Orange County Inland Empire (OCIE) Series in History and Philosophy of Mathematics where speakers Walter Carnielli and Juliana Bueno-Soler delve into the fascinating intersection of paraconsistent logic and Bayesian reasoning. Learn how the Logic of Evidence and Truth (LET_F) framework offers innovative solutions for handling contradictory and incomplete evidence in belief updating processes. Discover practical applications of paraconsistent and paracomplete Bayesian approaches through examples that demonstrate effective management of reasoning contradictions. Gain insights into how these mathematical concepts impact various fields including Artificial Intelligence, probabilistic networks, and scientific philosophy. The presentation, delivered at Chapman University's Keck Center, bridges theoretical foundations with real-world applications in handling uncertainty and contradictions in modern computational models.
