Abduction as Belief Revision
We propose a model of abduction based on the revision of the epistemic state of an agent. Explanations must be sufficient to induce belief in the sentence to be explained (for instance, some observation), or ensure its consistency with other beliefs, in a manner that adequately accounts for factual and hypothetical sentences. Our model will generate explanations that nonmonotonically predict an...
متن کاملOntology Revision as Non-Prioritized Belief Revision
Ontology revision is the process of managing an ontology when a new axiom or fact would render it inconsistent. So far, the AGM approach to belief revision has been adapted to work with ontologies. However, when multiple sources are contributing uncertain knowledge about a static domain, an approach that doesn’t give priority to incoming information and allows to recover previously discarded ax...

A set of postulates in AGM-style of belief revision are proposed to specify rational behavior of negotiation. An explicit construction of negotiation function is given in which negotiation process is viewed as the interaction of two iterat...

We emphasize that trust in an agent is often restricted to a particular domain of expertise. We demonstrate that thi...

Our goal is not to introduce yet another approach, but to examine carefully the rationale underlying the approaches already taken in the literat...
