Realistic Belief Revision
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider the implications for belief revision of weakening the logic under which belief sets are taken to be closed. A widely held view is that the usual belief revision functions are highly classical, especially in being driven by consistency. We show that, on the contrary, the standard representation theorems still hold for paraconsistent belief revision. Then we give conditions under which consistency is preserved by revisions, and we show that this modelling allows for the gradual revision of inconsistency.

Towards a "Sophisticated" Model of Belief Dynamics. Part II: Belief Revision
In the companion paper (Towards a “sophisticated” model of belief dynamics. Part I), a general framework for realistic modelling of instantaneous states of belief and of the operations involving them was presented and motivated. In this paper, the framework is applied to the case of belief revision. A model of belief revision shall be obtained which, firstly, recovers the Gärdenfors postulates ...
متن کاملKnowledge-Level Analysis of Belief Base Operations
Recent developments in philosophical studies of belief revision have led to the construction of models that are much closer to actual computing systems than the earlier models. An operation of contraction (revision) on a logically closed belief set can be obtained by assigning to it a finite belief base and an operation of contraction (revision) on that base. Exact characterizations of such bas...

Belief revision and belief update have been proposed as two types of belief change serving different purposes, revision intended to capture changes in belief state reflecting new information about a static world, and update intended to capture changes of belief in response to a changing world. We argue that routine belief change involves elements of both and present a model of generalized updat...
متن کاملReinforcement Belief Revision
The capability of revising its beliefs upon new information in a rational and efficient way is crucial for an intelligent agent. The classical work in belief revision focuses on idealized models and is not concerned with computational aspects. In particular, many researchers are interested in the logical properties (e.g., the AGM postulates) that a rational revision operator should possess. For...
