Style of Reasoning of Machine Learning

The notion of a "style of reasoning" was developed by Ian Hacking, who explored in particular the statistical style of reasoning in XXX. In this project we build upon that work to analyse the style of reasoning of machine learning. We argue that (ironically) although ML makes great use of data, it...

Rabanus Derr

Hello, I'm Rabanus. Since October 2021 I am pursuing my PhD under supervision of Bob Williamson in the group "Foundations of Machine Learning Systems". I am working on the implication of probability theoretical assumptions on ethical considerations in machine learning. As part of this endeavour I'm...

Christian Fröhlich

Since my undergraduate studies in cognitive science, I have been interested in interdisciplinary research approaches. I started my PhD with Bob in November, 2021. I'm interested in a generalization of classical probability theory known as imprecise probability where one works with sets of...

Slow Science

Machine learning research is notoriously fast paced. Can one get off the treadmill and embrace a notion of slow science? I am pleased to be able to argue yes by example! Recently I have had two works published with a very long gestation. The first Geometry and Calculus of Losses reports work that...
