A Belief-Based Approach to Measuring Message Acceptability

Abstract

International audienceWe propose a formal framework to support belief revision based on a cognitive model of credibility and trust. In this framework, the acceptance of information coming from a source depends on (i) the agent's goals and beliefs about the source's goals, (ii) the credibility, for the agent, of incoming information, and (iii) the agent's beliefs about the context in which it operates. This makes it possible to approach belief revision in a setting where new incoming information is associated with an acceptance degree. In particular, such degree may be used as input weight for any possibilistic conditioning operator with uncertain input (i.e., weighted belief revision operator)
