Nonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation
It is suggested that taking into account considerations that traditionally fall within the scope of computer science in general. and artificial intelligence in particular, sheds new light on the subject of causation. It is orgued that adopting causal nations can be viewed as filling a computational need: They allow reasoning with incomplete information, facilitate economical representations, an...
متن کاملCausation and Nonmonotonic Temporal Reasoning
We introduce a new approach to reasoning about action and change using nonmonotonic logic. The approach is arrived at by applying Pearl's theory of causal networks to logical formalizations of temporal reasoning domains. It comes in two versions: version S0 that works for logical theories in which causal knowledge is represented explicitly, and version I0 that works for logical theories in whic...
متن کاملNonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation: Comment
In a recent issue of Cognitive Science, * Yoav Shoham (1990) proposed a theory of causation based on a nonmonotonic logic of temporal knowledge. It is the purpose of this commentary to show that Shoham’s procedure is essentially isomorphic with a theory of causal ordering that requires no special nonmonotonic logic. Although this latter causal ordering theory is compatible with the requirement ...
متن کاملProbabilities, Causation, and Logic Programming in Conditional Reasoning: Reply to Stenning and Van Lambalgen
Oaksford and Chater (2014) critiqued the logic programming (LP) approach to nonmonotonicity and proposed that a Bayesian probabilistic approach to conditional reasoning provided a more empirically adequate theory. The current paper is a reply to Stenning and van Lambalgen’s (in press) rejoinder to this earlier paper. It is argued that causation is basic in human cognition and that explaining ho...
متن کاملConditional logic of actions and causation
In this paper we present a new approach to reasoning about actions and causation which is based on a conditional logic. The conditional implication is interpreted as causal implication. This makes it possible to formalize in a uniform way causal dependencies between actions and their immediate and indirect effects. The proposed approach also provides a natural formalization of concurrent action...
