Abstract

We propose a framework for integrating belief revision with action narratives whose observations about properties of the world might be inaccurate. We define the notion of an acceptable revision of a narrative as a sequence of revision-candidate formulas which is used in revising the observations and creates a consistent narrative. We propose a more preferred relation among revisions and prove that this relation is transitive and irreflexive. We also define a notion of most preferred models of a narrative when likelihood of action occurrences are available and discuss an alternative characterization that takes into consideration preferences over revisions. We show that the more preferred relation among models is also transitive and irreflexive. We conclude the paper with a discussion on the related work.

Fußnoten
1
Note that a fluent formula \(\varphi \) can be equivalently represented as a static causal law \(\varphi \mathbf{if}\top \).
 
2
\(s_1\) is strictly closer to s than \(s_2\) if \(s_1 \setminus s \cup s \setminus s_1 \subset s_2 \setminus s \cup s \setminus s_2\).
 
3
The discussion on whether these postulates need to be satisfied is outside the scope of this paper. The formalization in this paper is generic and can be used with any belief revision operator.
 
4
Note that \(\mathbf {f}(Cn(\psi {\cup } K_D))\) can be a proper subset of the set of fluents \(\mathbf {F}\).
 
5
For simplicity of the representation, we still use formula (8) in our discussion.
 
6
In our notations, a situation represents a snapshot of the world rather than an action sequence.
 
7
We note that the definitions of action theories and narrative in [2] are slightly different from their counterparts in this paper.
