Revision by comparison as a unifying framework: Severe withdrawal, irrevocable revision and irrefutable revision
نویسنده
چکیده
Fermé and Rott (‘Revision by Comparison’, Artificial Intelligence 157, 2004) introduced a binary operation of ‘revision by comparison’ and pointed out that this method of changing epistemic states has both characteristics of belief contraction (with respect to the ‘reference sentence’) and characteristics of belief revision (with respect to the ‘input sentence’). Using revision by comparison as a unifying framework, the present paper studies the unary limiting cases of severe withdrawal, irrevocable revision and irrefutable revision. While variants of the first two operations are well-known from the literature, the last one is new.

Irrevocable Belief Revision and Epistemic Entrenchment
In recent papers [10, 11] Krister Segerberg introduced Irrevocable Belief Revision, as closely related to AGM revision [2]. In this paper we present irrevocable belief revision in terms of an epistemic entrenchment relation.1
متن کاملA unifying semantics for belief change
Many belief change formalisms employ plausibility orderings over the set of possible worlds to determine how the beliefs of an agent ought to be modified after the receipt of a new epistemic input. While most such possible world semantics rely on a single ordering, we look at using an extra ordering to aid in guiding the process of belief change. We show that this provides a unifying semantics ...
متن کاملA Unifying Framework for Probabilistic Belief Revision
In this paper we provide a general, unifying framework for probabilistic belief revision. We first introduce a probabilistic logic called p-logic that is capable of representing and reasoning with basic probabilistic information. With p-logic as the background logic, we define a revision function called p-revision that resembles partial meet revision in the AGM framework. We provide a represent...
متن کاملComparison of Grafting Success Rate and Hearing Outcomes between Primary and Revision Tympanoplasties
Introduction: There are a few studies that compare the outcomes between primary and revision tympanoplasties. The purpose of the present study was to compare the results of type I tympanoplasty (i.e., synonymous to myringoplasty) and revision myringoplasty based on the closure of tympanic membrane perforation and hearing improvement. Materials and Methods: Thisprospective single-blind study was...
متن کاملHip Arthroplasty and its Revision in a Child: Case Report and Literature Review
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the leading cause of hip replacement in young children. However, arthroplasty in this population is challenging with several concerns about quality of the growing bone, young age for revision surgery, and difficulties in potential several revisions. In this study we introduce a case of a 12-year old who is one of the youngest patients to undergo revision hip art...
