A General Model for Epistemic State Revision using Plausibility Measures
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a general revision model on epistemic states based on plausibility measures proposed by Friedman and Halpern. We propose our revision strategy and give some desirable properties, e.g., the reversible and commutative properties. Moreover, we develop a notion called plausibility kinematics and show that our revision strategy follows plausibility kinematics. Furthermore, we prove that the revision following plausibility kinematics satisfies the principle of minimal change based on some distance measures. Finally, we discuss a revision operator defined for plausibility functions and its relationship with iterated belief revision proposed by Darwiche and Pearl. We show that the revision operator satisfies all the DP postulates when it is Max-Additive.

Ranking Revision Reloaded
Ranking measures are coarse-grained, quasi-probabilistic plausibility valuations measuring the degree of surprise. Since Spohn’s work on the subclass of natural conditional functions, they have been used to model epistemic states and their dynamics. The simplest instance may be elementary ranking revision, which is a non-parametrized version of Spohn-style revision based on minimal Jeffreycondi...
متن کاملCredibility-Limited Improvement Operators
In this paper we introduce and study credibility-limited improvement operators. The idea is to accept the new piece of information if this information is judged credible by the agent, so in this case a revision is performed. When the new piece of information is not credible then it is not accepted (no revision is performed), but its plausibility is still improved in the epistemic state of the a...
متن کاملA Qualitative Theory of Dynamic Interactive Belief Revision
We present a logical setting that incorporates a belief-revision mechanism within Dynamic-Epistemic logic. As the “static” basis for belief revision, we use epistemic plausibility models, together with a modal language based on two epistemic operators: a “knowledge” modality K (the standard S5, fully introspective, notion), and a “safe belief” modality 2 (“weak”, non-negatively-introspective, n...
متن کاملDynamic Belief Revision over Multi-Agent Plausibility Models
In this paper, we develop a notion of doxastic actions, general enough to cover all examples of communication actions and most other belief-changing actions encountered in the literature, but also flexible enough to deal with the issue of (static and dynamic) revision of beliefs. This can be seen as a natural extension of the work in [3, 4] on “epistemic actions”, incorporating ideas from the s...
متن کاملMaking revision reversible: an approach based on polynomials
This paper deals with iterated belief change and proposes a drastic revision rule that modifies a plausibility ordering of interpretations in such a way that any world where the input observation holds is more plausible that any world where it does not. This change rule makes sense in a dynamic context where observations are received, and the newer observations are considered more plausible tha...
