PhilPapers

If you're at the Pacific, please join me, Eric Schwitzgebel, and Brian Weatherson for a roundtable on the future of publishing in philosophy Thu 6pm (union square rm, 2nd floor). We will talk about the role of AI in publishing, the sustainability of open access, and more.

Today the PhilPapers team is launching Beat AI: A contest using philosophical concepts. Try to outwit AI models using your mastery of philosophical concepts. In the process, you will help us develop better AI models for search. #beatai philpeople.org/beatai

A new clustering of answers to the 2020 PhilPapers survey. See this page for full size pdf: survey2020.philpeople.org/survey/results…

Interview with the Data Skeptic about the PhilPapers survey: dataskeptic.com/blog/episodes/…

Respondents are split in three vertical groups to make the image more screen-friendly. Within those groups, the answers are columns.

Made by converting the answers of 1728 respondents to the 2020 PhilPapers Survey into 102 numeric values, color-coding them, and clustering the respondents by Euclidean distance. The selected respondents are those with > 25 non-"other" answers.

A comprehensive summary of philosophers' views in one bitmap image! It's noisy, and that's what I find interesting about it! It gives us a subjective sense of how diverse philosophers' views are. Follow link for full-size PDF and explanation. survey2020.philpeople.org/survey/results…

Here's something for data-oriented philosophers to ponder. This is a histogram of distances (calculated as proportion of agreeing answers) between all pairs of respondents to the 2020 PhilPapers survey (except respondents with very large numbers of skip/"other" answers).

PhilEvents.org has a new, more mobile-friendly look. We've also updated PhilPeople.org and PhilPapers.org to match. Take a look!

Here's a preview of a new look up coming up soon on PhilEvents.org and across the other Phil* sites. Feedback welcome!
