A conceptual framework for (iterated) revision, update, and nonmonotonic reasoning
This paper makes a foundational contribution to the discussions on the very nature of belief change operations. Belief revision and belief update are investigated within an abstract framework of epistemic states and (qualitative or quantitative) conditionals. Moreover, we distinguish between background knowledge and contextual information in order to analyse belief change more appropriately. Th...
متن کاملNonmonotonic Reasoning in Probabilistics
In probabilistics reasoning at optimum entropy ME reasoning has proved to be a most sound and consistent method for inference This paper investigates its properties in the framework of nonmonotonic reasoning In particular we show that ME reasoning satis es cumulativity and loop and we focus on its connection to conditionals Finally we intro duce the notion of a universal inference operation to ...
متن کاملFormal Epistemology and the New Paradigm Psychology of Reasoning
This position paper advocates combining formal epistemology and the new paradigm psychology of reasoning in the studies of conditionals and reasoning with uncertainty. The new paradigm psychology of reasoning is characterized by the use of probability theory as a rationality framework instead of classical logic, used by more traditional approaches to the psychology of reasoning. This paper pres...
متن کاملLinking Iterated Belief Change Operations to Nonmonotonic Reasoning
The study of the exact relationships between belief revision and belief update, on one side, and belief revision and nonmonotonic reasoning, on the other, has raised considerable interest, but still, the picture is far from being complete. In this paper, we add some new details to this line of research by making a foundational contribution to the discussions on the very nature of belief change ...
متن کاملLogic and Choice A Perspective on Belief Revision and Nonmonotonic Reasoning
Choice or selection functions are a classical device in the semantic study of conditionals, belief revision and nonmonotonic reasoning (see for instance Lewis 1973, Alchourr6n, G£rdenfors and Makinson 1985, Delgrande 1987). It has been pointed out repeatedly that particular properties of choice functions are needed to yield some particular properties of the desired logics (Lewis 1973, p. 58; Nu...
