In this paper we present some current results of our ongoing project on the integration of perception and symbolic reasoning. The focus of the paper is on the formalization of perception and belief. We outline the basics of a formal theory of belief that is sensitive to the way in which beliefs are formed through perception. The process of formation of beliefs involves a form of inference that is defeasible. We represent this kind of inference by means of well-known techniques of non-monotonic reasol1ing. In addition, we provide an account of perception that is consistent with our intuition for how perception functions, i.e., causality.

Abstract

In this paper we present some current results of our ongoing project on the integration of perception and symbolic reasoning. The focus of the paper is on the formalization of perception and belief. We outline the basics of a formal theory of belief that is sensitive to the way in which beliefs are formed through perception. The process of formation of beliefs involves a form of inference that is defeasible. We represent this kind of inference by means of well-known techniques of non-monotonic reasol1ing. In addition, we provide an account of perception that is consistent with our intuition for how perception functions, i.e., causality.
