A Framework for Non-Monotonic Reasoning About Probabilistic Assumptions

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 Marvin S. Cohen

Attempts to replicate probabilistic reasoning in expert systems have typically overlooked a critical ingredient of that process.

An Application of Non-Monotonic Probabilistic Reasoning to Air Force Threat Correlation

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 Kathryn Blackmond Laskey, Marvin S. Cohen

Current approaches to expert systems' reasoning under uncertainty fail to capture the iterative revision process characteristic of intelligent human reasoning.

When Should a Decision Maker Ignore the Advice of a Decision Aid?

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 Paul E. Lehner, Theresa M. Mullin, Marvin S. Cohen

This paper argues that the principal difference between decision aids and most other types of information systems is the greater reliance of decision aids on fallible algorithms--algorithms that sometimes generate incorrect advice.

Decision Making "Biases" and Support for Assumption-Based Higher-Order Reasoning

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 Marvin S. Cohen

Unaided human decision making appears to systematically violate consistency constraints imposed by normative theories; these biases in turn appear to justify the application of formal decision-analytic models.
