About the Limitations of Logic-based Approaches to the Formalisation of Belief Fusion
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, it is shown that logical approaches to the formalisation of belief fusion suffer from several drawbacks. A first one is due to the fact that the various epistemological roles of involved beliefs are not taken into account. As a result, the set-theoretic union operator is not necessary adequate for fusing beliefs even when such an operator delivers a consistent set of beliefs and when no preference can rank order beliefs. A second problem is linked to an inherent property of deduction and of most inference systems that conducts weaker information to be hidden by stronger ones. Finally, it is claimed that some postulates –especially the syntaxindependence onesfounding many logic-based belief fusion and revision approaches are themselves questionable.

Logic-based approaches to information fusion
This survey covers recent contributions from the artificial intelligence research literature about logic-based information fusion. First, the main current approaches dealing with the standard propositional logic formalism are presented and compared. Then, techniques for fusing weighted belief bases are discussed. Finally, relationships between propositional information fusion and related areas ...
متن کاملApplication of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling
The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches. In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques. Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games. Applying jump processes we propose some m...
متن کاملBelief Fusion and Revision: An Overview Based on Epistemic Logic Semantics
In this paper, we formulate some approaches to belief fusion and revision using epistemic logic semantics. Fusion operators considered in this paper are majority merging, arbitration, and general merging. Some modalities corresponding to belief fusion and revision operators are incorporated into epistemic logics. The Kripke semantics of these extended logics are presented. While most existing a...
