Testing identifiability of causal effects

D Galles, J Pearl - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.4948, 2013 - arxiv.org
This paper concerns the probabilistic evaluation of the effects of actions in the presence of
unmeasured variables. We show that the identification of causal effect between a singleton …

Nonmonotonic reasoning in description logics. Rational closure for the ABox

G Casini, T Meyer, K Moodley, I Varzinczak - 2013 - researchspace.csir.co.za
The introduction of defeasible reasoning in Description Logics has been a main research
topic in the field in the last years. Despite the fact that various interesting formalizations of …

[PDF][PDF] Ordered interpretations and entailment for defeasible description logics

K Britz, G Casini, T Meyer, K Moodley, I Varzinczak - 2013 - cair.org.za
We enrich description logics with non-monotonic reasoning features. We start by
investigating a notion of defeasible subsumption relation in the spirit of KLM-style defeasible …

[PDF][PDF] A propositional typicality logic for extending rational consequence

R Booth, T Meyer, I Varzinczak - Trends in belief revision and …, 2013 - icr.uni.lu
In artificial intelligence, there has been a great deal of work done on how to introduce
nonmonotonic reasoning capabilities in logic-based knowledge representation systems …

Preferential role restrictions

K Britz, G Casini, T Meyer, I Varzinczak - 2013 - researchspace.csir.co.za
We extend the Description Logic ALC with preferential role restrictions as class constructs,
and argue that preferential universal restriction represents a defeasible version of standard …

Defeasible modalities

K Britz, I Varzinczak - arXiv preprint arXiv:1310.6409, 2013 - arxiv.org
Nonmonotonic logics are usually characterized by the presence of some notion
of'conditional'that fails monotonicity. Research on nonmonotonic logics is therefore largely …

Nested sequent calculi for normal conditional logics

R Alenda, N Olivetti, GL Pozzato - Journal of Logic and …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Nested sequent calculi are a useful generalization of ordinary sequent calculi, where
sequents are allowed to occur within sequents. Nested sequent calculi have been profitably …

Normative reasoning and consequence

J Broersen, S Cranefield, Y Elrakaiby… - Dagstuhl Follow …, 2013 - drops.dagstuhl.de
In this chapter, we first provide a general introduction to the research area methodology and
relevance, then we discuss normative reasoning for multiagent systems, and finally we …

Two logical faces of belief revision

J van Benthem - Krister Segerberg on logic of actions, 2013 - Springer
This piece proposes a style of thinking using modal frame correspondence that puts
Segerberg's dynamic doxastic logic and 'Dutch'dynamic-epistemic logic for belief change in …

Entitlement and evidence

M Smith - Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Entitlement is conceived as a kind of positive epistemic status, attaching to certain
propositions, that involves no cognitive or intellectual accomplishment on the part of the …
