Two Approaches to Belief Revision
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we compare and contrast two methods for the qualitative revision of (viz., “full”) beliefs. The first (“Bayesian”) method is generated by a simplistic diachronic Lockean thesis requiring coherence with the agent’s posterior credences after conditionalization. The second (“Logical”) method is the orthodox AGM approach to belief revision. Our primary aim will be to characterize the ways in which these two approaches can disagree with each other — especially in the special case where the agent’s belief set is deductively cogent.

TWO-DIMENSIONAL BELIEF CHANGE An Advertisement
In this paper I compare two different the models of two-dimensional belief change, namely ‘revision by comparison’ (Fermé and Rott, Artificial Intelligence 157, 2004) and ‘bounded revision’ (Rott, in Hommage à Wlodek, Uppsala 2007). These revision operations are two-dimensional in the sense that they take as arguments pairs consisting of an input sentence and a reference sentence. Two-dimension...
متن کاملPublic Announcements and Belief Expansion
In this paper we study the relation between two approaches to information change: Dynamic Epistemic Logic and Belief Revision. One of the main differences between these approaches is that higher-order information plays an important role in the field of Dynamic Epistemic Logic, whereas it does not feature in Belief Revision. In this paper we study to which extent public announcements (a particul...
متن کاملNon Monotonic Reasoning and Belief
The major approaches to belief revision and non monotonic reasoning proposed in the literature diier along a number of dimensions, including whether they are \syntax-based" or \semantic-based", \foundational" or \coherentist", \consistence{restoring" or \inconsistency{tolerant". Our contribution towards clarifying the connections between these various approaches is threefold: We show that the t...
متن کاملA general approach to belief change in answer set programming
We address the problem of belief change in (nonmonotonic) logic programming under answer set semantics. Unlike previous approaches to belief change in logic programming, our formal techniques are analogous to those of distance-based belief revision in propositional logic. In developing our results, we build upon the model theory of logic programs furnished by SE models. Since SE models provide ...
