Causation , Bayesian Networks , and Cognitive Maps ∗

چکیده
Causation plays a critical role in many predictive and inference tasks. Bayesian networks (BNs) have been used to construct inference systems for diagnostics and decision making. More recently, fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) have gained considerable attention and offer an alternative framework for representing structured human knowledge and causal inference. In this paper I briefly introduce Bayesian networks and cognitive networks and their causal inference processes in intelligent systems.

Inference reasoning on fishers' knowledge using Bayesian causal maps
Scientists and managers are not the only holders of knowledge regarding environmental issues: other stakeholders such as farmers or fishers do have empirical and relevant knowledge. Thus, new approaches for knowledge representation in the case of multiple knowledge sources, but still enabling reasoning, are needed. Cognitive maps and Bayesian networks constitute some useful formalisms to addres...
متن کاملCognitive Maps and Bayesian Networks for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Cognitive maps are powerful graphical models for knowledge representation. They offer an easy means to express individual’s judgments, thinking or beliefs about a given problem. However, drawing inferences in cognitive maps, especially when the problem is complex, may not be an easy task. The main reason of this limitation in cognitive maps is that they do not model uncertainty with the variabl...
متن کاملIntegrative Cognitive-Causation Maps: Preliminary Report
One of the main concerns of reasoning about space is the recognition of objects. This recognition can be seen as mere pattern recognition through some form of template matching. However, the necessarily recognition for interactive cognitive systems requires some form of understanding of the object and give its existence in the environment a meaning represented by its relations to other existenc...
متن کاملRule-based joint fuzzy and probabilistic networks
One of the important challenges in Graphical models is the problem of dealing with the uncertainties in the problem. Among graphical networks, fuzzy cognitive map is only capable of modeling fuzzy uncertainty and the Bayesian network is only capable of modeling probabilistic uncertainty. In many real issues, we are faced with both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. In these cases, the propo...
متن کاملA Lattice Approach to Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks and conditional independence is studied via functional dependences. Armstrongs axioms known from the theory of relational databases is used to reformulate the concept of Bayesian networks into the theory of join-semidistributive lattices. Lattice theory provides us with a richer language to discuss causation than graph theory does.
