A General Purpose Inference Engine for Evidential Reasoning Research
The purpose of this paper is to report on the most recent developments in our ongoing investigation of the representation and manipulation of uncertainty in automated reasoning systems. In our earlier studies (Tong and Shapiro, 1985) we described a series of experiments with RUBRIC (Tong et al., 1985), a system for full-text document retrieval, that generated some interesting insights into the effects of choosing among a class of scalar valued uncertainty calculi. [n order to extend these results we have begun a new series of experiments with a larger class of representations and calculi, and to help perform these experiments we have developed a general purpose inference engine.

Taxonomy, Structure, and Implementation of Evidential Reasoning
The fundamental elements of evidential reasoning problems are described, followed by a discussion of the structure of various types of problems. Bayesian inference networks and state space formalism are used as the tool …
Bayesian InferenceDecision MakingEvidential Reasoning with Expert-Guided Machine Learning
Evidential reasoning aims to infer hidden causes from observed effects. In the context of fault detection, it is possible to trace the cause of anomalies by combining evidential reasoning with physical knowledge. However…

General problems in analyzing information in a probabilistic database are considered. The practical difficulties (and occasional advantages) of storing uncertain data, of using it conventional forward- or backward-chaini…
Competitive Programming with Large Reasoning Models
We show that reinforcement learning applied to large language models (LLMs) significantly boosts performance on complex coding and reasoning tasks. Additionally, we compare two general-purpose reasoning models - OpenAI o…
