Nonmonotonic reasoning, preferential models and cumulative logics

The preferential models proposed here are a much stronger tool than Adams' probabilistic semantics. The basic language used in this paper is that of propositional logic. ...
W e study here general patterns of nonmonotonic reasoning and try to isolate properties that could help us map the eld of nonmonotonic reasoning by reference to positive properties. ...
Acknowledgments Discussions with and remarks from David Makinson, Johan van Benthem, David Israel, Benjamin Grosof and an anonymous referee helped us put this work in perspective and improve its presentation ...

Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Preferential Models and Cumulative Logics
[article]
2002
arXiv
pre-print
The "preferential" models proposed here are a much stronger tool than Adams' probabilistic semantics. The basic language used in this paper is that of propositional logic. ...
We study here general patterns of nonmonotonic reasoning and try to isolate properties that could help us map the field of nonmonotonic reasoning by reference to positive properties. ...
Monotonic and and cumulative monotonic reasoning are too powerful, i.e. simple cumulative and simple preferential models are too restrictive to represent the wealth of nonmonotonic inference procedures ...

General patterns for nonmonotonic reasoning: from basic entailments to plausible relations
2000
Logic Journal of the IGPL
In addition, we present a general method for constructing plausible nonmonotonic relations. This method is based on a multiple-valued semantics, and on Shoham's idea of preferential models. 1 L. ...
These generalizations allow the use of monotonic nonclassical logics as the underlying logic upon which nonmonotonic reasoning may be based. ...

Considering uncertain reasoning as a preferential choice problem between alternative hypotheses, the model we provide assigns quality labeis to single evidences for or against a hypothesis, combines the ...
Nonmonotonic inconsistency
2003
Artificial Intelligence
After considering and dismissing two possible analyses relating nonmonotonic consequence and a nonmonotonic counterpart of logical inconsistency, this paper offers a set of postulates for nonmonotonic ...
And, like logical consequence, logical inconsistency is monotonic. ...
10 Classical preferential entailment is always supraclassical (see [6, p. 88]) since in a classical preferential
model, if p ∈ Cn(X) and state m preferentially satisfies X, then m satisfies X and so ...

Stereotypical Reasoning: Logical Properties
[article]
2002
arXiv
pre-print
It is one of the most basic forms of nonmonotonic reasoning. A formal model for stereotypical reasoning is proposed and the logical properties of this form of reasoning are studied. ...
Stereotypical reasoning is shown to be cumulative under weak assumptions. ...

Entrenchment Relations: A Uniform Approach to Nonmonotonicity
[article]
2000
arXiv
pre-print
We show that Gabbay's nonmonotonic consequence relations can be reduced to a new family of relations, called entrenchment relations. ...
Entrenchment relations provide a direct generalization of epistemic entrenchment and expectation ordering introduced by Gardenfors and Makinson for the study of belief revision and expectation inference ...

In this paper a preferential model semantics for default logic is given, by defining a preference relation on partial models called hypervaluations. ...

Finite Algebras and AI: From Matrix Semantics to Stochastic Local Search
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Beyond Monotonicity: Preferential Matrices The notion of cumulativity arose as a result of the search for desired and natural formal properties of nonmonotonic inference systems. ...
A similar approach of admitting only some interpretations to model non-structural nonmonotonic inference systems has been also developed for preferential model semantics (cf. [7] ). ...
