Towards a Logical Framework for Reasoning with Stereotypes

EasyChair Preprint 15517

Abstract

Stereotypes are necessary for human cognition. Indeed our limited computational capabilities and our need for quick decision making require using shortcuts for reasoning. In this work, we discuss how to formalize reasoning with stereotypes using uncertain default rules with an anchorage degree.

Keyphrases: belief revision, default rules, possibility theory, reliability and anchorage, stereotypes, uncertain default rules, uncertainty
