Title: Why logicians in IDSIA? Abstract: In an attempt to explain what Logic (and a logic) is, in this talk, thorough a brief glimpse into the history of the concerned discipline (spanning from Chrysippus of Soli and Aristotle to Gödel and Turing, and beyond), I will provide an overview of some of its fundamental concepts and results underpinning the connections with researches at the Institute. In guise of conclusion, I will present ongoing works related to statistical relational languages and imprecise probabilities. Speaker: Alessandro Facchini, a logician working at IDSIA.
