3 Non-monotonic logic Traditional logic is monotonic othe set of legal conclusions grows monotonically with the set of facts appearing in our initial database When humans reason, we use defeasible logic oalmost every conclusion we draw is subject to reversal oif we find contradicting information later, we ll want to retract earlier inferences Nonmonotonic logic, or defeasible reasoning, allows a statement to be retracted Solution: Truth Maintenance okeep explicit information about which facts/inferences support other inferences oif the foundation disappears, so must the conclusion CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 3

4 Uncertainty On the other hand, the problem might not be in the fact that T/F values can change over time but rather that we are not certain of the T/F value Agents almost never have access to the whole truth about their environment Agents must act in the presence of uncertainty oincompleteness and/or incorrectness of rules used by the agent olimited and ambiguous sensors oimperfection/noise in agent s actions odynamic nature of the environment CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 4

5 Pitfalls of pure logic Laziness otoo much work to list all conditions needed to ensure an exceptionless rule Theoretical ignorance oscience has no complete theory for the domain Practical ignorance oeven if we know all the rules, we may be uncertain about them owe only have a degree of belief in them CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 5

6 Probability Theory vs. Logic Probability - tool for handling degrees of belief osummarizes uncertainty due to laziness and ignorance Logic Probability Theory Ontological commitments world is composed of facts that do or do not hold world is composed of facts that do or do not hold Epistemological commitments each sentence is true or false or unknown numerical degree of belief between 0(sentence for certainly false) and 1(sentences are certainly true) CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 6

7 Rational Agent Approach Choose action A that maximizes expected utility omaximizes Prob(A)*Utility(A) Prob(A) - probability that A will succeed Utility(A) - utility value to agent of A s outcomes CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 7

35 Global semantics Global semantics defines the full joint distribution as the product of the local conditional distributions: P(x 1,..., x n ) = Π n i = 1P(x i par ents(x i )) e.g., P(j m a b e) = B J A E M CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 35

37 Const r uct ing Bayesian net wor ks Need a method such that a series of locally testable assertions of conditional independence guarantees the required global semantics 1. Choose an ordering of variables X 1,..., X n 2. For i = 1 to n add X i to the network select parents from X 1,..., X i 1 such that P(X i Par ents(x i )) = P(X i X 1,..., X i 1 ) This choice of parents guarantees the global semantics: P(X 1,..., X n ) = Π n i = 1P(X i X 1,..., X i 1 ) (chain rule) = Π n i = 1 P(X i Par ents(x i )) (by const ruction) CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 37

For example, to sum o f 3 (A,B, C),wewrite Summing out a variable from a product of factors is done by adding up the submatrices formed by fixing the variable to each of its values in turn. For example, to sum out A from f(b,c) = f f 3 (A,B, C), we write 3 (A,B, C) = f 3 (a, B, C) + f 3 ( a, B, C) f(b,c) = = = a a f 3 (A,B, C) = f 3 (a, B, C) + f 3 ( a, B, C) = The only trick is to notice that any factor that does not depend on the variable to be summed out burglary can be moved network, outside the the relevant summation. part of Forthe example, expression if we were would to sum be out E first in the burglary network, the relevant part of the expression would be CSL 302 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROPAR 55 f (E ) f (A,B, E) f (A) f (A) = f (A) f (A) f (E ) f (A,B, E). = The only trick is to notice that any factor that does not depend on the variable to b out can be moved outside the summation.
