On the Tweety Penguin Triangle Problem

چکیده
In this paper, one studies the famous well-known and challenging Tweety Penguin Triangle Problem (TPTP or TP2) pointed out by Judea Pearl in one of his books. We first present the solution of the TP2 based on the fallacious Bayesian reasoning and prove that reasoning cannot be used to conclude on the ability of the penguin-bird Tweety to fly or not to fly. Then we present in details the counter-intuitive solution obtained from the Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST). Finally, we show how the solution can be obtained with our new theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning (DSmT).

The new Tweety puzzle: arguments against monistic Bayesian approaches in epistemology and cognitive science
In this paper we discuss the new Tweety puzzle. The original Tweety puzzle was addressed by approaches in non-monotonic logic, which aim to adequately represent the Tweety case, namely that Tweety is a penguin and, thus, an exceptional bird, which cannot fly, although in general birds can fly. The new Tweety puzzle is intended as a challenge for probabilistic theories of epistemic states. In th...
متن کاملSpecificity and Inheritance in Default Reasoning
When specificity considerations are incorporated in default reasoning systems, it is hard lo ensure that exceptional subclasses inherit all legitimate features of their parent classes To reconcile these two requirements specificitv and inheritance, this paper proposes the addi tion of a new rule called coherence rule, to the desiderata for default inference The coherence rule captures the intu...
متن کاملUsing Step-logic for Tractable Non-monotonic Inference---research Summary
Because humans must deal in a world about which we have incomplete knowledge, humans often use default reasoning: in the absence of information to the contrary assume such and such. For example, upon being told that Tweety is a bird, and knowing that typically birds fly, we might conclude that Tweety flies. When we then discover that Tweety is in fact a penguin (and knowing that penguins typica...
متن کاملSchwarz boundary problem on a triangle
In this paper, the Schwarz boundary value problem (BVP) for the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equation in a triangle is investigated explicitly. Firstly, by the technique of parquetingreflection and the Cauchy-Pompeiu representation formula a modified Cauchy-Schwarz representation formula is obtained. Then, the solution of the Schwarz BVP is explicitly solved. In particular, the boundary behavio...

gies for determining the Unitarity Triangle in these modes. Computing the penguin parameters (r±,φ±) and the ratio of two trees (rt ,φt ) within QCD factorization yields a precise determination of (ρ̄ , η̄), reflected by a weak dependence on φ±, which is shown to be a second order effect, as in the Bd → π+π− system. Moreover, we find that the dependence on penguin amplitudes r± in Bd → ρ±π∓ is le...
