Learning from experience and conditionalization

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Bayesianism can be characterized as the following twofold position: (i) rational credences obey probability calculus; (ii) learning, i.e., updating of credences, is regulated by some form conditionalization. While formal aspect various forms conditionalization has been explored in detail, philosophical application to learning from experience still deeply problematic. Some philosophers have proposed revise epistemology perception; others provided new accounts that are more line with how we learn perceptual experience. The current investigation argues Bayesian incomplete; perception and reasoning not reconciled.

Justifying conditionalization: Conditionalization maximizes expected epistemic utility

According to Bayesian epistemology, the epistemically rational agent updates her beliefs by conditionalization: that is, her posterior subjective probability after taking account of evidence X, pnew, is to be set equal to her prior conditional probability pold(·/X). Bayesians can be challenged to provide a justification for their claim that conditionalization is recommended by rationality — whe...

Conditionalization and total knowledge

This paper employs epistemic logic to investigate the philosophical foundations of Bayesian updating in belief revision. By Bayesian updating, we understand the tenet that an agent’s degrees of belief—assumed to be encoded as a probability distribution—should be revised by conditionalization on the agent’s total knowledge up to that time. A familiar argument, based on the construction of a diac...

Generalizing Jeffrey Conditionalization

Jeffrey's rule has been generalized by Wagner to the case in which new evidence bounds the possible revisions of a prior probability below by a Dempsterian lower probability. Classical probability kinematics arises within this gen­ eralization as the special case in which the evidentiary focal elements of the bounding lower probability are pairwise disjoint. We discuss a twofold extension of th...

Conditionalization for Interval Probabilities

Conditionalization, i.e., computation of a conditional probability distribution given a joint probability distribution of two or more random variables is an important operation in some probabilistic database models. While the computation of the conditional probability distribution is straightforward when the exact point probabilities are involved, it is often the case that such exact point prob...

Learning Conflicts from Experience

Multi-agent path finding has been proven to be a PSPACE-hard problem. Generating such a centralised multi-agent plan can be avoided, by allowing agents to plan their paths separately. However, this results in an increased number of collisions and agents must replan frequently. In this paper we present a framework for multi-agent path planning, which allows agents to plan independently and solve...
