Nonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation
It is suggested that taking into account considerations that traditionally fall within the scope of computer science in general. and artificial intelligence in particular, sheds new light on the subject of causation. It is orgued that adopting causal nations can be viewed as filling a computational need: They allow reasoning with incomplete information, facilitate economical representations, an...
متن کاملCausation and Nonmonotonic Temporal Reasoning
We introduce a new approach to reasoning about action and change using nonmonotonic logic. The approach is arrived at by applying Pearl's theory of causal networks to logical formalizations of temporal reasoning domains. It comes in two versions: version S0 that works for logical theories in which causal knowledge is represented explicitly, and version I0 that works for logical theories in whic...
متن کاملNonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation: Comment
In a recent issue of Cognitive Science, * Yoav Shoham (1990) proposed a theory of causation based on a nonmonotonic logic of temporal knowledge. It is the purpose of this commentary to show that Shoham’s procedure is essentially isomorphic with a theory of causal ordering that requires no special nonmonotonic logic. Although this latter causal ordering theory is compatible with the requirement ...
متن کاملCausation , Explanation and Nonmonotonic Temporal Reasoning
We introduce a new approach to reasoning about action and change using nonmonotonic logic. The approach is arrived at by applying Pearl's theory of causal networks to logical formalizations of temporal reasoning domains. It handles complicated reasoning domains involving concurrent actions, actions with nondeterministic eects, preconditions over several points in time, ramication/qualication co...
متن کاملNonmonotonic Reasoning
In this talk I will give an overview of nonmonotonic reasoning as background, and then address the question of its relevance and importance for theoretical issues in reasoning about knowledge and belief. In the past few years the area. of nonmonotonic reasoning has grown tremendously, as witnessed by the increase in submitted and accepted papers to conferences such as this one. It would be impo...
