Knowledge-directed inference in believer

Abstract

The BELIEVER theory is an attempt to specify an information processing systenn that constructs intentional interpretations of an observed sequence of human actions. A frame-based system, AIMDS, is used to define three domains: the physical world; the plan domain, where interpretations are constructed using plan structures composed from plan traits; and the psychological description of time actor. The system achieves a shift of representation from propositions about physical events to statements about beliefs and intentions of the actor by hypothesizing and attributing a.plan structure to the actor.
