In this paper we introduce a novel account of belief change in which the agent's belief state is modified minimally to incorporate exactly the new information. Thus a revision by p V q will result in a new belief state in which p V q is believed, but a stronger proposition (such asp A q) is not, regardless of the initial form of the belief state.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/210","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0210.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/210.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/210","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":210,"pages":{"first":1391,"last":1392},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
