A Model-based Approach for Merging Prioritized Knowledge Bases in Possibilistic Logic

نویسنده

چکیده

This paper presents a new approach for merging prioritized knowledge bases in possibilistic logic. Our approach is semantically defined by a model-based merging operator in propositional logic and the merged result of our approach is a normal possibility distribution. We also give an algorithm to obtain the syntactical counterpart of the semantic approach. The logical properties of our approach are considered. Finally, we analyze the computational complexity of our merging approach.

Combining multiple prioritized knowledge bases by negotiation

Recently, several belief negotiation models have been introduced to deal with the problem of belief merging. A negotiation model usually consists of two functions: a negotiation function and a weakening function. A negotiation function is defined to choose the weakest sources and these sources will weaken their point of view using a weakening function. However, the currently available belief ne...

An Argumentation Framework for Merging Conflicting Knowledge Bases: The Prioritized Case

An important problem in the management of knowledge-based systems is the handling of inconsistency. Inconsistency may appear because the knowledge may come from different sources of information. To solve this problem, two kinds of approaches have been proposed. The first category merges the different bases into a unique base, and the second category of approaches, such as argumentation, accepts...

Combining Multiple Knowledge Bases by Negotiation: A Possibilistic Approach

A negotiation model consists of two functions: a negotiation function and a weakening function. A negotiation function is defined to choose the weakest sources and these sources will weaken their point of view using a weakening function. However, the currently available belief negotiation models are based on classical logic, which make it difficult to define weakening functions. In this paper, ...

Encoding Information Fusion in Possibilistic Logic: A General Framework for Rational Syntactic Merging

The problem of merging multiple sources information is central in many information processing areas such as databases integration problems, multiple criteria decision making, expert opinion pooling, etc. Recently, several approaches have been proposed to merge classical propositional bases, or sets of (non-prioritized) goals. These approaches are in general semantically defined. Like in belief ...

Min-based Assertional Merging Approach for Prioritized DL-Lite Knowledge Bases

DL-Lite is a powerful and tractable family of description logics specifically tailored for applications that use huge volumes of data. In many real world applications, data are often provided by several and potentially conflicting sources of information having different levels of priority. Possibility theory offers a very natural framework to deal with ordinal and qualitative uncertain beliefs ...
