Belief Conditioning Rules

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
In this paper we propose a new family of Belief Conditioning Rules (BCR) for belief revision. These rules are not directly related with the fusion of several sources of evidence but with the revision of a belief assignment available at a given time according to the new truth (i.e.

About Conditional Belief Function Independence

2001
In this paper, we study different concepts of conditional belief functions independence in the context of the transferable belief model. We especially clarify the relationships between the concepts of conditional non-interactivity, irrelevance and doxastic independence.

Is Belief a Condition for Understanding?

Religious Studies, 1981
Let us start with rephrasing the question in order to make sure that we have, roughly speaking, the same things in mind when we discuss it. There is no difficulty about the word belief. In the subtitle of my lecture, it is defined as ‘to be committed to a religion’.

Desire, belief, and conditional belief

2008
This dissertation studies the logics of value and conditionals, and the question of whether they should be given cognitivist analyses. Emotivist theories treat value judgments as expressions of desire, rather than beliefs about goodness. Inference ticket theories of conditionals treat them as expressions of conditional beliefs, rather than propositions.

Uncertainty and the Conditioning of Beliefs

1990
Uncertainty is part of the human condition. Whetherwe will or no, we must act, we must make decisions, in the face of uncertainty. Some authors have proposed that uncertainty be regarded as essentially a subjective matter. Our first goal is to draw the teeth of the classical subjectivistic argument that one must be prepared to meet all bets on the ...

Belief, Evidence, and Conditioning

Philosophy of Science, 2006
Since Ramsey, much discussion of the relation between probability and belief has taken for granted that there are degrees of belief, i.e., that there is a real-valued function, B, that characterizes the degree of belief that an agent has in each statement of his language. It is then supposed that B is a probability.

Conditions for Belief and Knowledge

1984
In the previous chapter we were led to the paradoxical conclusion that the computational theory of mind (CTM) may result in a position that is at once dualistic and behaviourist. Whether it does so or not depends on how dogmatically its proponents interpret the strong AI program (see Chapter 3). If, as Pylyshyn counsels, they abandon their faith in the

The Condition of Modern Belief

2009
It is impossible to discuss how the state should relate to religion without a secure understanding of the forms and significance of religious belief. This chapter looks accordingly at what the available data on religious observance suggest about current religious affiliations, examines the possible explanations for the changes the data expose, assesses

Conditionals, uncertain rules and belief revision

Artificial Intelligence Review, 1991
We look at some logical theories for modelling rules that have exceptions. We argue that a system based on belief revision may provide the most appropriate theoretical basis for formal theories of user modelling.
