A Note on Probabilistic Logic

• Mary McLeish

This paper answers a question posed by Nils Nilsson in his paper [9] on Probabilistic Logic: When is the maximum entropy solution to the entailment problem equal to the solution obtained by the projection method? Conditions are given for the relevant matrices and vectors which can be tested without actually computing the two solutions and comparing them. Examples are discussed and some comments made concerning the use and computational problems of probabilistic logic.

Probabilistic logic: some comments and possible use for nonmonotonic reasoning

• Mary McLeish

This paper considers recent work by Nils Nilsson on probabilistic logic and presents a way to extend it to represent default reasoning (and subsequent nonmonotonicity). This is done in the context of facts and rules which could be uncertain. Entailment results are presented and their meaning and usefulness discussed.
