Representing and Aggregating Conflicting Beliefs
We consider the two-fold problem of representing collective beliefs and aggregating these beliefs. We propose modular, transitive relations for collective beliefs. They allow us to represent conflicting opinions and they have a clear semantics. We compare them with the quasi-transitive relations often used in social choice. Then, we describe a way to construct the belief state of an agent infor...
متن کاملAggregating Learned Probabilistic Beliefs
We consider the task of aggregating beliefs of sev eral experts. We assume that these beliefs are rep resented as probability distributions. We argue that the evaluation of any aggregation technique depends on the semantic context of this task. We propose a framework, in which we assume that nature generates samples from a 'true' distribution and different experts form their beliefs based on ...

What stance does one take towards information received as part of communication? On the one hand, a great deal of knowledge one acquires in one’s life comes from communication.

متن کاملAggregating Tastes, Beliefs, and Attitudes under Uncertainty∗
We provide results on the aggregation of beliefs and tastes for Monotone, Bernoullian and Archimedian preferences of Cerreia-Vioglio, Ghirardato, Maccheroni, Marinacci, and Siniscalchi (2011). We propose a new axiom, Unambiguous Pareto Dominance, which requires that if the unambiguous part of individuals’ preferences agree, then society should follow it. We characterize the resulting social pre...

The combination of possibly conflicting beliefs and evidence forms an important part of various disciplines of artificial reasoning. In everyday discourse dogmatic beliefs are expressed by observers when they have a strong and rigid opinion about a subject of interest. Such beliefs can be expressed and formalised within the DemspterShafer belief theory. This paper describes and compares methods...
