A Revision-Based Approach to Resolving Conflicting Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a revision-based approach for conflict resolution by generalizing the Disjunctive Maxi-Adjustment (DMA) approach (Benferhat et al. 2004). Revision operators can be classified into two different families: the model-based ones and the formula-based ones. So the revision-based approach has two different versions according to which family of revision operators is chosen. Two particular revision operators are considered, one is the Dalal’s revision operator, which is a model-based revision operator, and the other is the cardinality-maximal based revision operator, which is a formulabased revision operator. When the Dalal’s revision operator is chosen, the revision-based approach is independent of the syntactic form in each stratum and it captures some notion of minimal change. When the cardinalitymaximal based revision operator is chosen, the revision-based approach is equivalent to the DMA approach. We also show that both approaches are computationally easier than the DMA approach.

Solving Conflicting Beliefs with a Distributed Belief Revision Approach
The ability to solve conflicting beliefs is crucial for multiagent systems where the information is dynamic, incomplete, and distributed over a group of individuals. The individual agents have partial views and, frequently, hold disparate beliefs regarding shared information. The nature of these conflicts is dynamic and requires adequate methodologies for dynamic conflict resolution. The propos...
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. These important skills are related in the sense that they all rely on resolving inconsistent information. We develop a novel and useful strategy for conflict resolution, and compare and contrast it with existing strategies. Ideal...

متن کاملA Stratification-based Approach for Inconsistency Handling in Description Logics
Inconsistency handling is a central problem in many knowledge representation fields, such as belief revision, belief merging. Many approaches have been proposed to handle inconsistency in ontologies. In this paper, we propose a stratification-based approach for inconsistency handling in description logics (DLs), a family of ontology languages. This approach consists of two steps. In the first s...
