Representing Priorities of Defaults in Possibility Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It is suggested by Yagerr5] that default knowledge can be represented in the framework of possibility theory. In this note, we show a potential application of the proposal. That is, the priorities of defaults can be encoded into the formalism naturally and the results produced by such encoded default theories reeect the strength of the conclusions.

متن کاملPreferred Subtheories: An Extended Logical Framework for Default Reasoning
We present a general framework for defining nonmonotonic systems based on the notion of preferred maximal consistent subsets of the premises. This framework subsumes David Poole's THEORIST approach to default reasoning as a particular instance. A disadvantage of THEORIST is that it does not allow to represent priorities between defaults adequately (as distinct from blocking defaults in specific...
متن کاملReasoning about Priorities in Default Logic
In this paper we argue that for realistic applications involving default reasoning it is necessary to reason about the priorities of defaults. Existing approaches require the knowledge engineer to explicitly state all relevant priorities which are then handled in an extralogical manner, or they are restricted to priorities based on specificity, neglecting other relevant criteria. We present an ...
متن کاملDefault Reasoning with Speci cityPhan
We present a new approach to reasoning with speciicity which subsumes inheritance reasoning. The new approach diiers from other approaches in the literature in the way priority between defaults is handled. Here, it is context sensitive rather than context independent as in other approaches. We show that any context independent handling of priorities between defaults as advocated in the literatu...
متن کاملRepresenting Defaults as Sentences with Reduced Priority
We distinguish between two ways of thinking about defaults. The rst way, in which defaults augment known premises by`strengthening' the underlying logic, is the traditional approach taken by most existing formalisms. In the second way, defaults are represented in the set of premises, but obtain their default status by having a reduced priority relative to the known premises. In this paper we: 1...
