متن کاملBelief Revision and Verisimilitude Based on Preference and Truth Orderings
In this rather technical paper we establish a useful combination of belief revision and verisimilitude according to which better theories provide better predictions, and revising with more verisimilar data results in theories that are closer to the truth. Moreover, this paper presents two alternative definitions of refined verisimilitude, which are more perspicuous than the algebraic version us...
متن کاملTruth - Tracking by Belief Revision
We study the learning power of iterated belief-revision methods. Successful learning is understood as convergence to correct, i.e., true, beliefs. We focus on the issue of universality: whether or not a particular belief-revision method is able to learn everything that in principle is learnable. We provide a general framework for interpreting belief-revision policies as learning methods. We foc...
