Possibilistic decreasing persistence

چکیده
A key issue in the handling of temporal data is the treatment of persistence; in most approaches it consists in inferring defeasi ble conlusions by extrapolating from the ac tual knowledge of the history of the world; we propose here a gradual modelling of per sistence, following the idea that persistence is decreasing (the further we are from the last time point where a fluent is known to be true, the less certainly true the fluent is); it is based on possibility theory, which has strong relations with other well-known ordering-based approaches to nonmonotonic reasoning. We compare our approach with Dean and Kanazawa's probabilistic projec tion. We give a formal modelling of the decreasing persistence problem. Lastly, we show how to infer nonmonotonic conclusions using the principle of decreasing persistence.

Qualitative integrals and desintegrals as lower and upper possibilistic expectations
Any capacity (i.e., an increasing set function) has been proved to be a lower possibility measure and an upper necessity measure. Similarly, it is shown that any anti-capacity (i.e., a decreasing set function) can be viewed both as an upper guaranteed possibility measure and as a lower weak necessity measure. These results are the basis for establishing that qualitative integrals (including Sug...
متن کاملPossibilistic Handling of Uncertain Default Rules with Applications to Persistence Modeling and Fuzzy Default Reasoning
Default rules express concise pieces of knowledge having implicit exceptions, which is appropriate for reasoning under incomplete information. Specific rules that explicitly refer to exceptions of more general rules can then be handled in this non-monotonic setting. However, there is no assessment of the certainty with which the conclusion of a default rule holds when it applies. We propose a f...

Most organizations with limited resources...
متن کاملExtending a Temporal Defeasible Argumentation Framework with Possibilistic Weights
Recently, a temporal extension of the argumentation defeasible reasoning system DeLP has been proposed. This system, called t-DeLP, allows to reason defeasibly about changes and persistence over time but does not offer the possibility of ranking defeasible rules according to criteria of preference or certainty (in the sense of belief). In this contribution we extend t-DeLP by allowing to attach...
متن کاملA New Combination of Robust-possibilistic Mathematical Programming for Resilient Supply Chain Network under Disruptions and Uncertainty: A Real Supply Chain (RESEARCH NOTE)
Nowadays, the design of a strategic supply chain network under disruption is one of the most important priorities of the governments. One of the strategic purposes of managers is to supply the sustainable agricultural products and food in stable conditions which require the production of soil nutrients. In this regard, some disruptions such as sanctions and natural disasters have a destructive ...
