Here is the abstract of the presentation:

"Regret and responsibility represented via alternative semantics for modal logic"
We provide a fine-grained analysis of notions of regret and responsibility (such as agent-regret and individual responsibility) in terms of a language of multimodal logic. We interpret this logic via two sorts of models: (i) synonymy models, which are equipped with a relation of propositional synonymy, and (ii) relating models, which are equipped with a relation of propositional pertinence. We show that, under certain conditions, it is possible to provide a translation between the two semantics.
