The irrelevant information principle for collective probabilistic reasoning
Within the framework of discrete probabilistic uncertain reasoning a large literature exists justifying the maximum entropy inference process, ME, as being optimal in the context of a single agent whose subjective probabilistic knowledge base is consistent. In particular Paris and Vencovská completely characterised the ME inference process by means of an attractive set of axioms which an infere...
متن کاملLogics for Collective Reasoning
In this paper, we discuss the approach based on Social Choice Theory and Judgment Aggregation to the definition of collective reasoning. We shall make explicit the aggregative nature of the notion of collective reasoning that is defined in the Judgment Aggregation account and we shall stress that the notion of logical coherence plays a fundamental role in defining collective attitudes. Unfortun...
متن کاملProbabilistic Couplings for Probabilistic Reasoning
This thesis explores proofs by coupling from the perspective of formal verification. Long employed in probability theory and theoretical computer science, these proofs construct couplings between the output distributions of two probabilistic processes. Couplings can imply various probabilistic relational properties, guarantees that compare two runs of a probabilistic computation. To give a form...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Logic for Reasoning about Uncertain Temporal Information
The main goal of this work is to present the proof-theoretical and model-theoretical approach to a probabilistic logic which allows reasoning about temporal information. We extend both the language of linear time logic and the language of probabilistic logic, allowing statements like “A will always hold”and “the probability that A will hold in next moment is at least the probability that B will...
متن کاملProbabilistic Contexts for Reasoning
We present a view of a context hypothesization process performed using the probabilistic knowledge of a domain. We outline the underlying asumptions and requirements for a focussed construction of interesting hypothetical contexts for probabilistic reasoning. The formalism presented seeks to construct consistent, minimal, and desirable probabilistic contexts by selecting suitable domain attribu...
