Goal Generation and Adoption from Partially Trusted Beliefs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rational agent adopts (or changes) its goals when new information (beliefs) becomes available or its desires (e.g., tasks it is supposed to carry out) change. In this paper we propose a nonconventional approach for adopting goals which takes the degree of trust in the sources of information into account. Beliefs, desires, and goals, as a consequence, are gradual. Incoming information may be any propositional formula. Two algorithms for updating the mental state of an agent in this new setting are proposed. The first algorithm is relevant to the updating when a new piece of information arrives and the second one is relevant to the updating when a new desire arises.

Goal generation with relevant and trusted beliefs
A rational agent adopts (or changes) its goals when new information (beliefs) becomes available or its desires (e.g., tasks it is supposed to carry out) change. In conventional approaches to goal generation in which a goal is considered as a “particular” desire, a goal is adopted if and only if all conditions leading to its generation are satisfied. It is then supposed that all beliefs are equa...
متن کاملGoal Generation with Ordered Beliefs
A rational agent adopts (or changes) its desires/goals when new information becomes available or its “desires” (e.g., tasks it is supposed to carry out) change. In conventional approaches on goal generation a desire is adopted if and only if all conditions leading to its generation are satisfied. The fact that certain beliefs might be differently relevant in the process of desire/goal generatio...
متن کاملGoal generation from beliefs based on trust and distrust
We propose three alternative belief change operators to be used in a goal generation and adoption framework. The originality of these operators is that the trustworthiness of a source depends not only on the degree of trust but also on an independent degree of distrust. Explicitly taking distrust into account allows us to mark a clear difference between the distinct notions of negative trust an...
متن کاملGoal Recognition over POMDPs: Inferring the Intention of a POMDP Agent
Plan recognition is the problem of inferring the goals and plans of an agent from partial observations of her behavior. Recently, it has been shown that the problem can be formulated and solved using planners, reducing plan recognition to plan generation. In this work, we extend this model-based approach to plan recognition to the POMDP setting, where actions are stochastic and states are parti...
متن کاملGTrust: a group based trust model
Nowadays, the growth of virtual environments such as virtual organizations, social networks, and ubiquitous computing, has led to the adoption of trust concept. One of the methods of making trust in such environments is to use a long-term relationship with a trusted partner. The main problem of this kind of trust, which is based on personal experiences, is its limited domain. Moreover, both par...
