متن کاملWeakening Conflicting Information for Iterated Revision and Knowledge Integration
The ability to handle exceptions, to perform iterated belief revision and to integrate information from multiple sources are essential skills for an intelligent agent.

We develop a novel and useful strategy for conflict resolution, and compare and contrast it with existing strategies. Ideal...

Counterfactual implication models a statement "if p, then q," where p is known or expected to be false, and is different from material implication A nested counterfactual is a counterfactual statement where the conclusion q is a (possibly negated) counterfactual. Statements of the ...
