A model must include both beliefs about facts and beliefs about other characters. This paper presents a method for representing such belief structures. Arbitrary levels of embedded beliefs are represented by cyclic structures with shared common beliefs. With these str~s we show how different instances of deception can be recognized with a single deception template. We will illustrate these concepts by applying them to several example stories.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/76","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0076.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/76.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/76","volume":{"slug":"1981","title":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1981","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/","year":1981,"location":"Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada","dates":"24-28 August 1981","editors":"Roger C.
