Areas of expertise & research interests

 

Generally, I research into human & artificial cognition. My focus is on natural & formal languages. This entails a broad-scope expertise, from math to philosophy, with (theoretical) computer science being a core component. I am particularly interested in (formal) languages for knowledge and agency, but also approach the subject from a purely computational perspective (e.g., compilation).

Ongoing stuff

 

·        I am completing a project of the Journal of Knowledge Structures & Systems (JKSS) on bridging philosophical ontology and formal ontology via the work of the late medieval philosopher Dietrich of Freiberg. More specifically, this project bridges the gulf between information-based ontology (my own coinage) and ontology-based information; thus, it bridges the philosophical and formal approaches to information in ontology. Papers in the project are available (open access) in JKSS 2(2), JKSS 3(1), JKSS 3(2), JKSS 3(3). Check also the commentaries on these articles published in the indicated issues.

 

·        In the quest for decidability, I am going deep into automata and infinite games, namely in association with monadic second-order logic, temporal logics, many-valued logics, etc.

 

·        In (slow) progress, and related to the above projects: Logic in knowledge representation and reasoning: Central topics via readings and Knowledge & Logic.

 

·        A two-volume work on computational logic is underway. Volume 1 is already published (in College Publications, London). The second volume is planned to be on logics with game semantics.

 

·         I am working together with Farshad Badie (Research Group Natural and Formal Languages, Aalborg University) on symbolic AI based on shared conceptualization. Published papers: Augusto & Badie (2022), Badie & Augusto (2022), Badie & Augusto (2023)
