What happens when an author suspects their referee report was written by an AI? Many journals lack policies on this, and the publishers of many journals have policies that are vague or, given the realities of enforcement, quite lenient.

Corey Maley: Structural and Analog Representation
Corey J. Maley Department of Philosophy Cognition, Agency, and Intelligence Center Purdue University cmaley@purdue.edu coreymaley.net The thesis of this paper is simple: structural representation and analog representation turn out to be two names for the same kind of representation. This may seem implausible, given that typical examples of structural representation (e.g., maps) are much more complex than typical cases of analog representation (e.g., liquid thermometers).

Aizawa: Evidence for Representation
The Evidence for Representations Ken Aizawa It is commonly said that one reason to postulate mental representations is in order to explain behavior. I take this reasoning to be an instance of abductive reasoning, not to be identified with inference to the best explanation.[1] Empiricists have long been skeptical of abductive reasoning that is supposed to provide evidence for unobservable entities.

Elber-Dorozko and Gouvêa: Ambiguity in the Concept of Representation
‘Neuronal representation’ is not a defective concept: Ambiguity as a sign of science in progress Lotem Elber-Dorozko and Devin Gouvêa The term “neural representation” is extremely popular in cognitive neuroscience. Scientists often claim to have discovered neural properties that represent environmental features, such as specific visual objects or specific sounds. At the same time, both philosophers and scientists seem increasingly dissatisfied with this term.
