Abstract:This paper discusses a knowledge-base encoding methodology for diagnostic tasks, transforming such knowledge into constrained optimisation problems. The methodology is based on a re-interpretation of the consistent causal reasoning paradigm [15] as an equivalent problem of feasibility subject to equality and inequality constraints (in the binary case). Then, it is extended to the fuzzy case. Preferences under uncertain knowledge are incorporated by transforming the feasibility problem into an optimisation one,… Show more
