Moral bookkeeping KU Leuven
There is widespread agreement among philosophers about the Mens Rea Asymmetry (MRA), according to which praise requires intent, whereas blame does not. However, there is evidence showing that MRA is descriptively inadequate. We hypothesize that the violations of MRA found in the experimental literature are due to what we call “moral compositionality,” by which we mean that people evaluate the component parts of a moral problem separately and ...
Uniform probability in cosmology KU Leuven
Problems with uniform probabilities on an infinite support show up in contemporary cosmology. This paper focuses on the context of inflation theory, where it complicates the assignment of a probability measure over pocket universes. The measure problem in cosmology, whereby it seems impossible to pick out a uniquely well-motivated measure, is associated with a paradox that occurs in standard probability theory and crucially involves uniformity ...
Post-Quantum Impacts on V2X Certificates – Already at The End of The Road KU Leuven
The current certificate definition for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication does not support forward compatibility as it does not take migration toward Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) into account. As a result, introducing PQC compatible certificates in V2X can result in similar to Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack to both legacy and PQC-ready vehicles. This situation will make the deployment of PQC certificates a stalemate ...
Of Demons, Game Shows, and Baguettes: Tracing the Nineteenth Century Origins of Seldon’s Psychohistory KU Leuven
Isaac Asimov (1920–1992) wrote Foundation, a science-fiction series about a galactic empire. The books are now being televised by Apple TV+: the first season premiered in 2021 and a second season is planned. The plot of Foundation crucially revolves around a fictional science that is supposed to predict the future course of large populations. Would psychohistory have been developed if Hari Seldon hadn’t existed? Pondering psychohistory easily ...
On the Brittleness of Robust Features: An Exploratory Analysis of Model Robustness and Illusionary Robust Features KU Leuven
Neural networks have been shown to be vulnerable to visual data perturbations imperceptible to the human eye. Nowadays, the leading hypothesis about the reason for the existence of these adversarial examples is the presence of non-robust features, which are highly predictive but brittle. Also, it has been shown that there exist two types of non-robust features depending on whether or not they are entangled with robust features; perturbing ...
