Gabriele Kern-Isberner, TU Dortmund:
Nonmonotonic inductive reasoning, conditionals, and belief revision

/Abstract. /This talk presents a broad view on inductive reasoning by 
embedding it in theories of epistemic states, conditionals, and belief 
revision. More precisely, we consider nonmonotonic inductive reasoning 
as a specific case of belief revision on epistemic states which include 
conditionals as a basic means for representing beliefs. We present a 
general framework for inductive reasoning from conditional belief bases 
that induces a variety of different revision scenarios quite naturally 
and particularly allows for taking background beliefs into account. As a 
proof of concept, we instantiate this framework by ranking-theoretic 
reasoning based on so-called c-revisions. We illustrate the constructive 
usefulness of our approach, as well as its integrating power.

This talk is based on the paper "Inductive Reasoning, Conditionals, and 
Belief Dynamics" by Gabriele Kern-Isberner and Wolfgang Spohn, Journal 
of Applied Logics, Special Issue on Foundations, Applications, and 
Theory of Inductive Logic, Guest Editors Martin Adamcík and Matthias 
Thimm, Volume 11, Number 1: January 2024, p. 89–127.
