Story-enabled Hypothetical Reasoning
Story understanding is a central competence that illuminates all other aspects of human intelligence. In this work, I demonstrate how our story understanding ability sheds light on our ability to think in terms of hypothetical situations. Using the Genesis story understanding system as a substrate, I develop a story-enabled hypothetical reasoning system that models several high-level human abil...
متن کاملInterpretive Reasoning with Hypothetical Cases
Reasoning with hypothetical cases helps decision-makers evaluate alternate hypotheses for deciding a case. The hypotheticals demonstrate the sensitivity of a hypothesis to apparently small factual differences that may require different results because they shift the tradeoffs among conflicting underlying principles. By anticipating variations, the decision-maker seeks to formulate as general an...
متن کاملOn Experiments for Hypothetical Reasoning
Suppose that HY P is a set of hypotheses which we currently entertain about some state of aaairs represented by a propositional sentence. In a diagnostic setting, HY P might consist of all the diagnoses of some device whose description is given by , although our analysis is not restricted to diagnosis. Our concern is with experiments { how they can be designed, and what conclusions can be drawn...
متن کاملA Logic for Hypothetical Reasoning
This paper shows that classical logic is inappropriate for hypothetical reasoning and develops an alternative logic for this purpose. The paper focuses on a form of hypothetical reasoning which appears computationally tractable. Specifically, Horn-clause logic is augmented with rules, called embedded implications, which can hypothetically add atomic formulas to a rulebase. By introducing the no...
متن کاملHypothetical Knowledge and Counterfactual Reasoning
Salmet introduced a notion of hypothetical knowledge and showed how it could be used to capture the type of counterfactual reasoning necessary to force the backwards induction solution in a game of perfect information. He argued that while hypothetical knowledge and the extended information structures used to model it bear some resemblance to the way philosophers have used conditional logic to ...
