Inference Policies

چکیده

Rbstract In the AI community, there is an ongoing debate as to the most appropriate theory of inferencing under uncertainty. This paper explores the problem of inference from a different perspective. It is suggested that an inferencing system should reflect an inference policy that is tailored to the domain of problems to which it is applied -and furthermore that an inference polic y need not conform to any general theory of rational inference or induction. We note, for instance, that Bayesian reasoning about the probabilistic c haracteristics of an inference domain may result in the specification of � non­ Bayesian procedure for reasoning within the inference domain. In this paper, the idea of an inference policy is explored in some detail. To support this exploration, the characteristics of some standard and nonstandard inference po l ic ies are examined.

Inference of Usable Declassification Policies

We explore the inference of fine-grained human readable declassification policies as a step towards providing security guarantees that are proportional to a programmer’s effort: the programmer should receive weak (but sound) security guarantees for little effort, and stronger guarantees for more effort. We present declassification policies that can specify what information is released under wha...

Probabilistic inference for computing optimal policies in MDPs

We investigate how the problem of planning in a stochastic environment can be translated into a problem of inference. Previous work on planning by probabilistic inference was limited in that a total time T has to be fixed and that the computed policy is not optimal w.r.t. expected rewards. The generative model we propose considers the total time T as a random variable and we show equivalence to...

Path Finding under Uncertainty through Probabilistic Inference

We introduce a new approach to solving path-finding problems under uncertainty by representing them as probabilistic models and applying domain-independent inference algorithms to the models. This approach separates problem representation from the inference algorithm and provides a framework for efficient learning of path-finding policies. We evaluate the new approach on the Canadian Traveller ...

Modeling and Inferring on Role-Based Access Control Policies Using Data Dependencies

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) models are becoming a de facto standard, greatly simplifying management and administration tasks. Organizational constraints were introduced (e.g.: mutually exclusive roles, cardinality, prerequisite roles) to reflect peculiarities of organizations. Thus, the number of rules is increasing and policies are becoming more and more complex: understanding and analyzi...
