Plausible deductive reasoning using a water tank analogy
The diagrammatic representation by "square-and-strips" used to illustrate and solve problems linked to conditional probability distributions is reinterpreted exclusively in terms of liquids in water tanks and applied to a new domain, namely deductive inferences under uncertainty. The isomorphism between the physical constraints on the capacity of the tank and its subdivisions and elementary law...
متن کاملMoral Reasoning under Uncertainty
We present a Logic Programming framework for moral reasoning under uncertainty. It is enacted by a coherent combination of our two previously implemented systems, Evolution Prospection for decision making, and P-log for probabilistic inference. It allows computing available moral judgments via distinct kinds of prior and post preferences. In introducing various aspects of uncertainty into cases...
متن کاملQualitative Reasoning Under Uncertainty
In this paper, we focus our attention on the processing of the uncertainty encountered in the natural langusge. Firstly, we explore the uncertainty concept and then we suggest a new approach which enables a representation of the uncertainty by using linguistic values. The originality of our approach is that it allows to reason on the symbolic uncertainty interval ~Certain, Totally uncertain]. T...
متن کاملExact Reasoning Under Uncertainty
This paper discusses the use of uncertain knowledge in eipert systems. The discussion is focused on the use of these systems to support decision making in complei, uncertain environments. Within this conteit, our research indicates that strictly probabilistic representations, which enable the use or decision-theoretic reasoning, are highly preferable to recently proposed alternatives. Furthermo...
متن کاملAlgebraic Uncertainty Theory: A Unifying Perspective on Reasoning under Uncertainty
The question of how to represent and process uncertainty is of fundamental importance to the scientific process, but also in everyday life. Currently there exist a lot of different calculi for managing uncertainty, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. Especially, almost all are defining the domain and structure of uncertainty values a priori, e.g., one real number, two real numbers...
