Preference Handling for Belief-Based Rational Decisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to preferences suitable for agents that base decisions on their beliefs. In our work, agents’ preferences are perceived as a consequence of their beliefs, but at the same time are used to feed the knowledge base with beliefs about preferences. As a result, agents can reason with preferences to hypothesize, explain decisions, and review preferences in face of new information. Finally, we integrate utility-based to reasoning-based criteria of decision making.

A Logical Account of Social Rationality in Strategic Games
We propose a modal logic that enables to reason about different kinds of rationality in strategic games. This logic integrates the concepts of joint action, belief, individual preference and group preference. The first part of the article is focused on the notion of individualistic rationality assumed in classical game theory: an agent decides to perform a certain action only if the agent belie...

We present the methodology of Multiple-Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) based on preference modelling in terms of “if..., then ...” decision rules. The basic assumption of the decision rule approach is that the decision maker (DM) accepts to give preferential information in terms of examples of decisions and looks for simple rules justifying her decisions. An important advantage of this approach...
متن کاملRationality in Decision Machines
This brief position paper1 sketches a view, in many respects conventional, of the role of rationality in artificial intelligence. In this view, rationality is primarily a way to describe coherence between actions and agent attitudes such as belief and preference. Decisions are the fundamental unit of calculation for a rational computer, and therefore we properly refer to them as decision machin...
متن کاملRational Belief Revision ∗ ( Preliminary Report )
Theories of rational belief revision recently proposed by Alchourrón, Gärdenfors, Makinson, and Nebel illuminate many important issues but impose unnecessarily strong standards for correct revisions and make strong assumptions about what information is available to guide revisions. We reconstruct these theories according to an economic standard of rationality in which preferences are used to se...
