Syntactic computation of Fagin-Halpern conditioning in possibility theory
Résumé
Conditioning plays an important role in revising uncertain information in light of new evidence. This work focuses on the study of Fagin and Halpern (FH-)conditioning in the context where uncertain information is represented by weighted or possibilistic belief bases. Weighted belief bases are extensions of classical logic belief bases where a weight or degree of belief is associated with each propositional logic formula. This paper proposes a characterization of a syntactic computation of the revision of weighted belief bases (in the light of new information) which is in full agreement with the semantics of the FH- conditioning of possibilistic distributions. We show that the size of the revised belief base is linear with respect to the size of the initial base and that the computational complexity amounts to performing O(log2(n)) calls to the propositional logic satisfiability tests, where n is the number of different degrees of certainty used in the initial belief base.
