Belief Change in Nonmonotonic Multi-Context Systems [PDF]
, 2013 Brewka and Eiter's nonmonotonic multi-context system is an elegant knowledge representation framework to model heterogeneous and nonmonotonic multiple contexts. Belief change is a central problem in knowledge representation and reasoning.

Observational Equivalence of Conditional Belief Bases
Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, 2023 In nonmonotonic reasoning, a conditional of the form ‘If A then usually B’ is typically accepted if a situation where both A and B hold is deemed to be more plausible, more probable, or less surprising, etc., than a situation where A holds, but B does ...

Qualitative Mechanical Problem-Solving by Artificial Agents:
Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, 2022 Qualitative mechanical problem-solving (QMPS) is central to human-level intelligence. Human agents use their capacity for such problem-solving to succeed in tasks as routine as opening the tap to drink or hanging a picture on the wall, as well as for ...

Nonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation [PDF]
Cognitive Science, 1990 It is suggested that taking into account considerations that traditionally fall within the scope of computer science in general, and artificial intelligence in particular, sheds new light on the subject of causation. It is argued that adopting causal notions con be viewed as filling a computational need: They allow reasoning with incomplete information,

Applying Soundness Standards to Qualified Reasoning
Informal Logic, 2004 Defining qualified reasoning as reasoning containing such loose qualifying words as 'probably,' 'usually,' 'probable, 'likely,' 'ceteris paribus,' and 'primafacie, Ennis argues that typical cases of qualified reasoning, though they might be good ...

StreamRule: A nonmonotonic stream reasoning system for the semantic web
, 2022 S.247-252Stream reasoning is an emerging research field focused on dynamic processing and continuous reasoning over huge volumes of streaming data. Finding the right trade-off between scalability and expressivity is a key challenge in this area.

Preferences and Nonmonotonic Reasoning
AI Magazine, 2008 We give an overview of the multifaceted relationship between nonmonotonic logics and preferences. We discuss how the nonmonotonicity of reasoning itself is closely tied to preferences reasoners have on models of the world or, as we often say here, possible belief sets.

Strong Inconsistency in Nonmonotonic Reasoning [PDF]
Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2017 Minimal inconsistent subsets of knowledge bases play an important role in classical logics, most notably for repair and inconsistency measurement. It turns out that for nonmonotonic reasoning a stronger notion is needed. In this paper we develop such a notion, called strong inconsistency.

Nonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation: Comment [PDF]
Cognitive Science, 1991 In a recent issue of Cognitive Science, * Yoav Shoham (1990) proposed a theory of causation based on a nonmonotonic logic of temporal knowledge. It is the purpose of this commentary to show that Shoham’s procedure is essentially isomorphic with a theory of causal ordering that requires no special nonmonotonic logic. Although this latter causal ordering
