Structured belief bases

On Structured Belief Bases -

In this paper some ideas for adding structure to belief bases are presented. Structured belief bases can be seen as graphs, where each node is a belief and two nodes are adjacent if and only if they are related. Some notions of relatedness are deened. We then show how this extra structure can be used for implementing local change as deened in HW98].

Renata Wassermann on Structured Belief Bases

Most existing approaches to belief revision describe the behaviour of a highly idealized rational agent. In operations of belief change for more realistic agents, usually only a small part of an agent's beliefs is accessed at one time. This should be taken into account if we are looking for cognitively more appropriate operations. Furthermore, it makes implementation more feasible. In this pape...

Compiling Stratified Belief Bases

Many coherence-based approaches to inconsistency handling within propositional belief bases have been proposed so far. They consist in selecting one or several preferred consistent subbases of the given (usually inconsistent) stratified belief base (SBB), then using classical inference from some of the selected subbases. Unfortunately, deciding the corresponding inference relations is typically...
