Simon Huttegger (UC Irvine) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (22 May, 2014) titled "An Analogical Inductive Logic for Partially Exchangeable Families of Attributes". Abstract: Since Carnap started his epic program of developing an inductive logic, there have been various attempts to include analogical reasoning into systems of inductive logic. I will present a new system based on de Finetti's concept of partial exchangeability. Together with a set of plausible axioms, partial exchangeability allows one to derive a family of inductive learning rules with enumerative analogical effects.
