Machine learning models mapped to belief change theory

Researchers have developed a new framework that models the training of binary Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) using principles from belief change theory. This approach, building on the Alchourron, Gardenfors, and Makinson (AGM) framework, represents the knowledge within binary ANNs as propositional logic and maps belief set modifications to gradual state transitions. The latest work extends this by utilizing Dalal's method and robust AGM-style operations like lexicographic revision and moderate contraction, aligning with the Darwiche-Pearl framework for iterated belief change.
