چکیده
Many have the intuition that for a conditional to be true, there must exist some kind of connection between its antecedent and its consequent. We investigated experimentally the prospects for spelling out the connection in terms of inference. Participants were shown or given by description a series of fourteen numbered color patches ranging from blue to green. They were then asked to evaluate conditionals pertaining to these patches which, in the context of the experiment, are naturally thought of as embodying inferential connections (such as ‘If patch number 5 is blue, then so is patch number 4’). The data we obtained in this experiment are shown to be better explained by a semantics for conditionals that makes inferential connectedness a truth condition than by any of the currently more popular semantics for conditionals. (Based on joint work with Shira Elqayam, Janneke Huitink, David Over, and Henrik Singmann.)

Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief
Information for real life AI applications is usually pervaded by uncertainty and subject to change, and thus demands for non-classical processing. A rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning have been developed in the field of knowledge representation showing its many facets – qualitative vs. quantitative reasoning, argumentation and negotiation in multi-agent systems, causal reasoning fo...

This paper addresses the issue of creating agents that are able to learn rules for cooperative problem solving behavior in different multi-agent scenarios. The proposed agents start with given rule fragments that are combined to rules determining their action selection. The agents learn how to apply these rules adequately by collecting rewards retrieved from the simulation environment of the sc...
