Description

Explore a groundbreaking approach to logic and artificial intelligence with Changes of Mind: An Essay on Rational Belief Revision. Published by Oxford University Press, this work provides the first logically precise and computationally implementable account of how rational agents should handle new information. When a new belief contradicts existing knowledge, the process of updating becomes complex. This book solves that problem by modeling belief systems as finite dependency networks. This method allows for a deep look into not just what an agent believes, but the specific reasons behind those beliefs. Designed for researchers and professionals in AI and computer science, this text characterizes the computational complexity of the revision process. It goes beyond theory by formulating specific algorithms for belief revision and providing implementations in Prolog. This makes it a practical resource for anyone studying how machines and agents can manage changing information logically and efficiently.

Key Features

Provides a logically precise and computationally implementable account of rational belief revision processes.

Models belief systems as finite dependency networks to track both beliefs and the reasons for holding them.

Addresses the challenge of how a rational agent should proceed when new information contradicts old beliefs.

Characterizes the computational complexity involved in the belief revision problem for better technical understanding.

Includes formulated algorithms for belief revision that are implemented in Prolog for practical application.
