I am giving a talk next Friday at my department’s logic seminar series. Here are the details:
Title: The Logic of Knowledge and the Flow of Information
Abstract: In this talk I cover some work still in development which concerns the notions of information and knowledge as exemplified in Fred Dretske’s ‘Knowledge and The Flow of Information’. In particular, I cover (1) some work on the logic of information flow and (2) the issue of developing an epistemic logic which captures Dretske’s notion of knowledge as a semi-penetrating operator.

The Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence is a non-symmetric measure of the difference between two probability distributions P and Q:
In this piece [page 133] a neat example is given, showing how this measure can be used to quantify the `truthlikeness’ of a probability measure.
