Firstly, two kinds of natural distances between intuitionistic fuzzy sets are generated by the classical natural distance between fuzzy sets under a unified framework of residual intuitionistic implication operators. Secondly, the continuity and approximation property of a method for solving intuitionistic fuzzy reasoning are defined. It is proved that the triple implication method for intuitio...

What do human beings use conditional reasoning for? A psychological consequence of counterfactual conditional reasoning is emotional experience, in particular, regret and relief. Adults’ thoughts about what might have been influence their evaluations of reality. We discuss recent psychological experiments that chart the relationship between children’s ability to engage in conditional reasoning ...

Abstract We consider systems of rational agents who act and interact in pursuit their individual collective objectives. study formalise the reasoning an agent, or external observer, about expected choices action other based on objectives, order to assess reasoner’s ability, expectation, achieve own objective. To formalize such we extend Pauly’s Coalition Logic with three new modal operators con...

We hypothesized that causal conditional reasoning reflects judgment of the conditional likelihood of causes and effects based on a probabilistic causal model of the scenario being judged. Although this proposal has much in common with Cummins’ (1995) theory based on the number of disabling conditions and alternative causes, it takes more variables into account and therefore makes some differing...

Imaging is a class of non-Bayesian methods for the revision of probability density functions originally proposed as a semantics for conditional logic. Two of these revision functions, Standard Imaging and General Imaging, have successfully been applied to modelling information retrieval (IR). Due to the problematic nature of a“direct” implementation of Imaging revision functions, we propose the...

Conditional reasoning reasoning with ”if” is very common in everyday life. Consequently, all reasoning theories provide explanations for typical logical errors in conditional reasoning. The combination of conditional reasoning with spatial relational reasoning provides a new test-bed for these theories. Take, for instance, the two assertions ”If the church is to the left of the cinema then the ...

Before an autonomous agent can perform automated negotiation on behalf of a user in an electronic commerce transaction, the user’s preferences over the set of outcomes must be learned as accurately as possible. This paper presents a structure, a Conditional Outcome Preference Network (COP-network), for modeling preferences directly elicited from a user. The COP-network then expands to indicate ...
