Towards Temporal Reasoning Using Qualitative Probabilities
نویسنده
چکیده
Previously proposed qualitative probabilities do not satisfy the requirements of temporal reasoning, and a new abstraction is proposed here that represents probability changes over time using four values: increasing, decreasing, constant, and unknown. The qualitative temporal probability presented satisfies the axioms of probability by obeying a set of probabilistic constraints. Temporal constraints are imposed through a set of causality, ordering and probabilistic constraints.

Towards a Synergy of Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Reasoning and Smart Environments for Assisting the Elderly at Home
Applications of smart environments are ever-increasing due to their possibilities of contributing towards an independent and active lifestyle for different user groups. An example of such an application can be found in health-care, where an elderly can be unobtrusively monitored and cared for in their own home. In this paper, we give a description of how qualitative spatio-temporal reasoning ca...
متن کاملA Qualitative Model for Temporal Reasoning with Incomplete Information
We clevelop a qualitative framework for temporal reasoning with incomplete information that features a modeling language based on rules and a semantics based on infinitesimal probabilities. The framework relates logical and probabilistical models, and accommodates in a natural way features that, have been found problematic in other models like nondeterminism, action qualifications, parallel act...
متن کاملA Logical Study on Qualitative Default Reasoning with Probabilities
Only very special subclasses of probability distributions can be used for qualitative reasoning that meets basic logical demands. Snow’s atomic bound systems (big-stepped probabilities) provide one positive example for such a subclass. This paper presents a thorough investigation of the formal logical relationships between qualitative and probabilistic default reasoning. We start with formalizi...
متن کاملOn Non-Binary Temporal Relations
I present a new approach towards temporal reasoning that generalizes from the temporal relations commonly used in Allen's qualitative interval calculus and in quantitative temporal constraint satisfaction problems and includes interval relations with distances, temporal rules and other non-binary relations into the reasoning scheme. Moreover, I investigate how several factors underlying my gene...
متن کاملA Multi - agent Based Architecture to Qualitative Temporal Constraint Reasoning
Qualitative Reasoning (Q.R) is an inferring technique using a qualitative model to derive new qualitative knowledge. It’s closer to human reasoning and offers the advantage to coping with incomplete information and allows to predict the studied system’s behaviour. So, the main benefit of Q.R is that it is possible to provide an approximate solution to a given real world problem when all detaile...
