A key to overcoming the limitations of classical artificial intelligence and to deal well with enormous amounts of information might be brain-like computing in which distributed re...
Research on nonmonotonic and default reasoning has identified several important criteria for preferring alternative default inferences. The theories of reasoning based on each of...
Orderings and inference relations can be successfully used to model the behavior of a rational agent. This behavior is indeed represented either by a set of ordered pairs that ref...
We propose a rigorous definition of the notion of typicality, making use of the strict partial order naturally induced among the objects at hand by a given concept. This perspecti...
We consider an optimization problem in probabilistic inference: Given n hypotheses Hj, m possible observations Ok, their conditional probabilities pk j, and a particular Ok, selec...
