Belief Revision
Peter Gärdenfors,Hans Rott +1 more
TL;DR: Belief revision is a topic of much interest in theoretical computer science and logic, and it forms a central problem in research into artificial intelligence as mentioned in this paper, which addresses the problem of updating a database of knowledge in the light of new information and what to do in the case where new information is in conflict with something that was previously held to be true.
Book
Change, Choice and Inference: A Study of Belief Revision and Nonmonotonic Reasoning
TL;DR: This book discusses doxastic states and their representation in the context of epistemology and belief change, as well as postulates for Belief Change and Nonmonotonic Reasoning in a post-modern setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper achieves a liberalization of the concept of rational belief change that does no longer presuppose the postulates of success and rational monotony and turns out to be applicable also to relational and iterated belief changes.
Book ChapterDOI
Shifting priorities: Simple representations for twenty-seven iterated theory change operators
TL;DR: It is shown how a shifting of priorities in prioritized bases can be used for a simple, constructive and intuitive way of representing a large variety of methods for the change of belief states—methods that have usually been characterized semantically by a system-of-spheres modeling.
