Logic for Desire Based on Causal Inference

In this project, we study the interpretation and reasoning about desires and deontic modalities based on causal inferences. We propose an interpretation, for example, “desiring φ”, from a decision-making perspective. We construct a preference-causality model by combining the priority structure in preference logic and the causal model in the logic for causal reasoning. Logics based on this semantics has been developed.

This is a joint research with Kaibo Xie and Qingyu He.
