Description

Changes of Mind presents the first logically precise, computationally implementable account of rational belief revision in book form. This scholarly work addresses a fundamental challenge in artificial intelligence and philosophy: how a rational agent should adopt new beliefs when they conflict with existing convictions. The book models belief systems as finite dependency networks, allowing readers to examine not only what an agent believes but the variety of reasons supporting those beliefs. The author characterises the computational complexity of the revision problem and provides implementable algorithms for belief revision, with practical examples formulated and executed in Prolog. Essential reading for researchers in AI, machine learning, and epistemology seeking rigorous foundations for understanding how intelligent systems update their knowledge bases.

Key Features

Changes of Mind offers the first computationally implementable, book-length treatment of rational belief revision theory with formal logical precision.

Belief systems are modeled as finite dependency networks, enabling analysis of both beliefs held and the specific reasons supporting each belief.

The book characterises the computational complexity of belief revision problems and presents implementable algorithms written in Prolog.

Addresses how rational agents rationally adopt new beliefs when those beliefs contradict existing knowledge, a core problem in artificial intelligence.

Published by Oxford University Press, providing authoritative academic treatment of belief revision for researchers in AI and epistemology.
