Abstract

‘Uncertainty reasoning” refers in a general way to problems discussed by that subset of the AI community interested in representing and reasoning with knowledge that cannot be expressed as certainties. The range of problems discussed runs the gamut from fundamental philosophical inquiry into the nature of uncertainty and how (if at all) it can be measured and modelled, to practical performance issues arising from the (automatic) construction of real-world models and making inferences from such models.
