Mighty Belief Revision

open access: yesJournal of Philosophical Logic, 2022
AbstractBelief revision theories standardly endorse a principle of intensionality to the effect that ideal doxastic agents do not discriminate between pieces of information that are equivalent within classical logic. I argue that this principle should be rejected.

Belief Revision: A Critique

open access: yesJournal of Logic, Language and Information, 1999
We examine carefully the rationale underlying the approaches to belief change taken in the literature, and highlight what we view as methodological problems. We argue that to study belief change carefully, we must be quite explicit about the ``ontology'' or scenario underlying the belief change process.

On the logic of theory change: iteration of expansion

open access: yesJournal of the Brazilian Computer Society, 2018
Constructing models that allow for iterated changes is one of the most studied problems in the literature on belief change. However, up to now, iteration of expansion was only studied as a special case of consistent revision and, as far we know, there is

How narrative transportation in movies affects audiences’ positive word-of-mouth: The mediating role of emotion

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
On the basis of the cognitive–affective–behavioral model, this study investigated the effects of narrative transportation in movies on audience emotion and positive word-of-mouth (PWOM).

Jokes and Belief Revision [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, 2020
The paper deals with a topic little studied in artificial intelligence: the understanding of humor. In this preliminary study, we try to identify the basic mechanism at work in quips and narrative jokes. It seems that in many cases a belief revision process is operating, leading to an unexpected conclusion, through the punchline of the jest.

Reinforcement Belief Revision [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Computation, 2008
The capability of revising its beliefs upon new information in a rational and efficient way is crucial for an intelligent agent. The classical work in belief revision focuses on idealized models and is not concerned with computational aspects. In particular, many researchers are interested in the logical properties (e.g.

DYNAMIC HYPERINTENSIONAL BELIEF REVISION [PDF]

open access: yesThe Review of Symbolic Logic, 2020
AbstractWe propose a dynamic hyperintensional logic of belief revision for non-omniscient agents, reducing the logical omniscience phenomena affecting standard doxastic/epistemic logic as well as AGM belief revision theory. Our agents don’t know all a priori truths; their belief states are not closed under classical logical consequence; and their ...

Beyond Evidence-Based Belief Formation: How Normative Ideas Have Constrained Conceptual Change Research

open access: yesFrontline Learning Research, 2013
The cognitive sciences, including psychology and education, have their roots in antiquity. In the historically early disciplines like logic and philosophy, the purpose of inquiry was normative. Logic sought to formalize valid inferences, and the various

Belief Revision Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper, we propose a new belief revision operator, together with a method of its calculation. Our formalization differs from most of the traditional approaches in two respects. Firstly, we formally distinguish between defeasible observations and indefeasible knowledge about the considered world.

Belief Revision in a Nutshell

open access: yesPrincipia: An International Journal of Epistemology
Belief Revision studies how rational agents change their beliefs in response to new information. The main objective of the works in this area is modelling these dynamics by defining some formal operators of change.
