Default reasoning about probabilities
Acknowledgments First and foremost I would like to thank Harald Ganzinger and Hans J urgen Ohlbach who provided me with the opportunity to conduct this research at the Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science. Here I found a perfect environment that gave me all the freedom I wanted and every support I needed. Hans J urgen put me on the track of probabilistic reasoning in terminological logics....
متن کاملReasoning defeasibly about probabilities
In concrete applications of probability, statistical investigation gives us knowledge of some probabilities, but we generally want to know many others that are not directly revealed by our data. For instance, we may know prob(P/Q) (the probability of P given Q) and prob(P/R), but what we really want is prob(P/Q&R), and we may not have the data required to assess that directly. The probability c...
متن کاملReasoning about Unforeseen Possibilities During Policy Learning
Methods for learning optimal policies in autonomous agents often assume that the way the domain is conceptualised—its possible states and actions and their causal structure— is known in advance and does not change during learning. This is an unrealistic assumption in many scenarios, because new evidence can reveal important information about what is possible, possibilities that the agent was no...
متن کاملA Logic for Reasoning about Upper Probabilities
We present a propositional logic to reason about the uncertainty of events, where the uncertainty is modeled by a set of probability measures assigning an interval of probability to each event. We give a sound and complete axiomatization for the logic, and show that the satisfiability problem is NP-complete, no harder than satisfiability for propositional logic.
متن کاملA Logic for Default Reasoning About Probabilities
A logic is defined that allows to express in formation about statistical probabilities and about degrees of belief in specific proposi tions. By interpreting the two types of proba bilities in one common probability space, the semantics given are well suited to model the influence of statistical information on the for mation of subjective beliefs. Cross entropy minimization is a key element...
