JZBR - Iterated Belief Change for Conditional Ranking Constraints An early report
نویسنده
چکیده
We present JZBR, an extension of Spohn's iterated revision methodology which allows the handling of new information expressed by conditional ranking measure constraints. This is achieved by generalizing a canonical ranking construction technique originally developed for nonmonotonic entailment, notably system JZ. JZBR exploits the structure of the evidence base and is a robust relative of semi-qualitative cross entropy minimization.

Measuring Ranks via the Complete Laws of Iterated Contraction
Ranking theory delivers an account of iterated contraction; each ranking function induces a specific iterated contraction behavior. The paper gives a complete axiomatization of that behavior, i.e., a complete set of laws of iterated contraction. It does so by showing how to reconstruct a ranking function from its iterated contraction behavior uniquely up to multiplicative constant and thus how ...
متن کاملIterated Belief Contraction from First Principles
Importance of contraction for belief change notwithstanding, literature on iterated belief change has by and large centered around the issue of iterated belief revision, ignoring the problem of iterated belief contraction. In this paper we examine iterated belief contraction in a principled way, starting with Qualified Insertion, a proposal by Hans Rott. We show that a judicious combination of ...
متن کاملIterated revision and minimal change of conditional beliefs
We describe a model of iterated belief revision that extends the AGM theory of revision to account for the effect of a revision on the conditional beliefs of an agent. In particular, this model ensures that an agent makes as few changes as possible to the conditional component of its belief set. Adopting the Ramsey test, minimal conditional revision provides acceptance conditions for arbitrary ...
متن کاملRanking Revision with Conditional Knowledge Bases
We introduce a new model for belief dynamics where the belief states are ranking measures and the informational inputs are finite sets of parametrized conditionals interpreted by ranking constraints. The approach is inspired by the minimal information paradigm and generalizes ranking construction strategies developed for default reasoning. We show its handling of principles for conditional and ...
متن کاملRevision Sequences and Nested Conditionals
The truth conditions for conditional sentences have been well-studied, but few compelling attempts have been made to define means of evaluating iterated or nested conditionals. In particular , most approaches impose very few constraints on the set of conditionals an agent can hold after revision of its belief set. In this paper we describe the method of natural revision that ensures the preserv...
