Morphologic for knowledge dynamics: revision, fusion, abduction
Résumé
Several tasks in artificial intelligence require to be able to find models about
knowledge dynamics. They include belief revision, fusion and belief merging,
and abduction. In this paper we exploit the algebraic framework of mathematical morphology in the context of propositional logic, and define operations such
as dilation or erosion of a set of formulas. We derive concrete operators, based
on a semantic approach, that have an intuitive interpretation and that are formally well behaved, to perform revision, fusion and abduction. Computation
and tractability are addressed, and simple examples illustrate the typical results
that can be obtained.
