When Ignorance is Bliss
cs.AI
It is commonly-accepted wisdom that more information is better, and that information should never be ignored. Here we argue, using both a Bayesian and a non-Bayesian analysis, that in some situations you are better off ignoring information if your uncertainty is represented by a set of probability measures. These inclu...

Evidence with Uncertain Likelihoods
cs.AI
An agent often has a number of hypotheses, and must choose among them based on observations, or outcomes of experiments. Each of these observations can be viewed as providing evidence for or against various hypotheses. All the attempts to formalize this intuition up to now have assumed that associated with each hypothe...

A Game-Theoretic Analysis of Updating Sets of Probabilities
cs.AI
We consider how an agent should update her uncertainty when it is represented by a set P of probability distributions and the agent observes that a random variable X takes on value x, given that the agent makes decisions using the minimax criterion, perhaps the best-studied and most commonly-used criterion in the liter...

MDPs with Unawareness
cs.AI
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are widely used for modeling decision-making problems in robotics, automated control, and economics. Traditional MDPs assume that the decision maker (DM) knows all states and actions. However, this may not be true in many situations of interest. We define a new framework, MDPs with unaw...

Modular Belief Updates and Confusion about Measures of Certainty in Artificial Intelligence Research
cs.AI
Over the last decade, there has been growing interest in the use or measures or change in belief for reasoning with uncertainty in artificial intelligence research. An important characteristic of several methodologies that reason with changes in belief or belief updates, is a property that we term modularity. We call u...

Graph Transformation Planning via Abstraction
cs.AI
Modern software systems increasingly incorporate self-* behavior to adapt to changes in the environment at runtime. Such adaptations often involve reconfiguring the software architecture of the system. Many systems also need to manage their architecture themselves, i.e., they need a planning component to autonomously d...

Backwards State-space Reduction for Planning in Dynamic Knowledge Bases
cs.AI
In this paper we address the problem of planning in rich domains, where knowledge representation is a key aspect for managing the complexity and size of the planning domain. We follow the approach of Description Logic (DL) based Dynamic Knowledge Bases, where a state of the world is represented concisely by a (possibly...

Personalization of Itineraries search using Ontology and Rules to Avoid Congestion in Urban Areas
cs.AI
There is a relatively small amount of research covering urban freight movements. Most research dealing with the subject of urban mobility focuses on passenger vehicles, not commercial vehicles hauling freight. However, in many ways, urban freight transport contributes to congestion, air pollution, noise, accident and m...

On computable abstractions (a conceptual introduction)
cs.AI
This paper introduces abstractions that are meaningful for computers and that can be built and used according to computers' own criteria, i.e., computable abstractions. It is analyzed how abstractions can be seen to serve as the building blocks for the creation of one own's understanding of things, which is essential i...

A Fuzzy Directional Distance Measure
cs.AI
The measure of distance between two fuzzy sets is a fundamental tool within fuzzy set theory, however, distance measures currently within the literature use a crisp value to represent the distance between fuzzy sets. A real valued distance measure is developed into a fuzzy distance measure which better reflects the unc...

Analysing Fuzzy Sets Through Combining Measures of Similarity and Distance
cs.AI
Reasoning with fuzzy sets can be achieved through measures such as similarity and distance. However, these measures can often give misleading results when considered independently, for example giving the same value for two different pairs of fuzzy sets. This is particularly a problem where many fuzzy sets are generated...

Hybrid Systems Knowledge Representation Using Modelling Environment System Techniques Artificial Intelligence
cs.AI
Knowledge-based or Artificial Intelligence techniques are used increasingly as alternatives to more classical techniques to model ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in environmental modelling has increased with recognition of its potential. In this paper we examine the DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES of Ar...

Simulating Non Stationary Operators in Search Algorithms
cs.AI
In this paper, we propose a model for simulating search operators whose behaviour often changes continuously during the search. In these scenarios, the performance of the operators decreases when they are applied. This is motivated by the fact that operators for optimization problems are often roughly classified into e...

On Minimax Optimal Offline Policy Evaluation
cs.AI
This paper studies the off-policy evaluation problem, where one aims to estimate the value of a target policy based on a sample of observations collected by another policy. We first consider the multi-armed bandit case, establish a minimax risk lower bound, and analyze the risk of two standard estimators. It is shown, ...

Dispute Resolution Using Argumentation-Based Mediation
cs.AI
Mediation is a process, in which both parties agree to resolve their dispute by negotiating over alternative solutions presented by a mediator. In order to construct such solutions, mediation brings more information and knowledge, and, if possible, resources to the negotiation table. The contribution of this paper is t...
