Toby Pilditch
My research at UCL is in the domains of evidential, probabilistic, and causal reasoning, as well as belief updating and cognitive biases.
I am also a Senior Research Associate at the Complex Human-Environmental Systems Simulation Laboratory (CoHESyS) at the University of Oxford, where I am building psychologically informed Agent-Based Models, exploring the intersection of cognitive psychology and dynamic, complex systems.
My previous work was on the Bayesian ARgumentation via Delphi (BARD) project for the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), the goal of which was to improve reasoning in Intelligence Analysis via the application of Bayesian Networks.
