Riguardo questo articolo

Neuware - Intelligent agent is an artificial intelligence system, explains Das, and an epistemic state is an actual or possible cognitive state that drives human behavior at any given moment, and must be simulated by an intelligent agent for it to simulate human behavior. He describes three broad and fundamental approaches--logical, probabilistic, and modal--to representing and reasoning in the context of decision making. His study could be used as a textbook in a graduate or undergraduate course on artificial intelligence, or as a reference for researchers.

Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This self-contained book provides three fundamental and generic approaches (logical, probabilistic, and modal) to representing and reasoning with agent epistemic states, specifically in the context of decision making. Each of these approaches can be applied to the construction of intelligent software agents for making decisions, thereby creating computational foundations for decision-making agents. In addition, the book introduces a formal integration of the three approaches into a single unified approach that combines the advantages of all the approaches. Finally, the symbolic argumentation approach to decision making developed in this book, combining logic and probability, offers several advantages over the traditional approach to decision making which is based on simple rule-based expert systems or expected utility theory.
