چکیده

Situations in which the information about a given domain is partial are common in many AI applications. In planning and analysis of scenarios involving partial information, the state of knowledge of an intelligent agent in such circumstances becomes important. This paper addresses the problem of characterizing this state of knowledge, with the emphasis on the single-agent case. We give a number of equivalent ways to characterize this state of knowledge, as well as an algorithm for computing the formulas that are true in this state. The relationship between this work and related works by Stark, Konolige, and Moore is discussed.

On the Persistence of Knowledge and Ignorance: A Preliminary Report

We study a particular model of the way in which a single agent’s knowledge evolves over time. The two fundamental properties of the model are that knowledge always persists (i.e., agents have perfect memory), and that ignorance persists by default (i.e., we have complete knowledge of exactly how much the agent learns at every time point). Despite its apparent simplicity, this model exhibits qui...
