Belief Revision and Information Fusion in a Probabilistic Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents new methods for probabilistic belief revision and information fusion. By making use of the principles of optimum entropy (ME-principles), we define a generalized revision operator which aims at simulating the human learning of lessons, and we introduce a fusion operator which handles probabilistic information faithfully. In general, this fusion operator computes kind of mean probabilistic values from pieces of information provided by different sources.

Belief Revision in a Multi-Agent environment Recoverability vs. Priority to the Incoming Information
Since the seminal, philosophical and influential works of Gärdenfors et al. [1,2], ideas on "belief revision" have been progressively refined [10] and ameliorated toward normative, effective and quasi-computable paradigms [4-6]. Some of the main contributes have been the idea of “revision as transmutation of partial epistemic rankings” [18], “revision for finite bases” [13], the distinction bet...
متن کاملA Model of Minimal Probabilistic Belief Revision∗
In the literature there are at least two models for probabilistic belief revision: Bayesian updating and imaging (Lewis (1973, 1976), Gärdenfors (1988)). In this paper we focus on imaging rules that can be described by the following procedure: (1) Identify every state with some real valued vector of characteristics, and accordingly identify every probabilistic belief with an expected vector of ...
متن کاملA Unifying Framework for Probabilistic Belief Revision
In this paper we provide a general, unifying framework for probabilistic belief revision. We first introduce a probabilistic logic called p-logic that is capable of representing and reasoning with basic probabilistic information. With p-logic as the background logic, we define a revision function called p-revision that resembles partial meet revision in the AGM framework. We provide a represent...
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...
متن کاملOn Stochastic Belief Revision and Update and their Combination
I propose a framework for an agent to change its probabilistic beliefs when a new piece of propositional information α is observed. Traditionally, belief change occurs by either a revision process or by an update process, depending on whether the agent is informed with α in a static world or, respectively, whether α is a ‘signal’ from the environment due to an event occurring. Boutilier suggest...
