DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GEOTOP-A/23/
 ">The Topology of Knowing  (Or How to Avoid Unexpected Exams)</a>\nby Alex
 andru Baltag (Universiteit van Amsterdam - Netherlands) as part of GEOTOP-
 A seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk I will present applications of Gener
 al Topology to Epistemic Logic (=the logical aspects of knowledge\, knowab
 iity and belief) and Formal Learning Theory. I show that topological metho
 ds can throw light on issues such as the value of simplicity as a learning
  strategy (cf. Ockham's Razor) and the analysis of epistemic paradoxes (e.
 g. the connection between the so-called Surprise Exam Paradox and the Cant
 or-Bendixson process of calculating the perfect core). Time-permitting\, I
  may present some complete and decidable logical axiomatizations of these 
 notions and maybe even give a hint concerning the completeness proofs.\n
