A General Modifier-based Framework for Inconsistency-Tolerant Query Answering
Jean Francois Baget, Salem Benferhat, Zied Bouraoui +5
We propose a general framework for inconsistency-tolerant query answering within existential rule setting. This framework unifies the main semantics proposed by the state of art an…
Argumentative inference in uncertain and inconsistent knowledge bases
Salem Benferhat, Didier Dubois, Henri Prade
This paper presents and discusses several methods for reasoning from inconsistent knowledge bases. A so-called argumentative-consequence relation taking into account the existence…
Belief Functions and Default Reasoning
Salem Benferhat, Alessandro Saffiotti, Philippe Smets
We present a new approach to dealing with default information based on the theory of belief functions. Our semantic structures, inspired by Adams' epsilon-semantics, are epsilon-be…
Coping with the Limitations of Rational Inference in the Framework of Possibility Theory
Salem Benferhat, Didier Dubois, Henri Prade
Possibility theory offers a framework where both Lehmann's "preferential inference" and the more productive (but less cautious) "rational closure inference" can be represented. How…
Merging Uncertain Knowledge Bases in a Possibilistic Logic Framework
Salem Benferhat, Claudio Sossai
This paper addresses the problem of merging uncertain information in the framework of possibilistic logic. It presents several syntactic combination rules to merge possibilistic kn…
Possibilistic logic bases and possibilistic graphs
Salem Benferhat, Didier Dubois, Laurent Garcia +1
Possibilistic logic bases and possibilistic graphs are two different frameworks of interest for representing knowledge. The former stratifies the pieces of knowledge (expressed by…
