Abstract

Beliefs play complex and sometimes confusing roles in AI. This paper survey (i) a variety of notions of belief, (ii) formal efforts to characterize beliefs, and (iii) how beliefs are related to action, to language, and to commonsense. In addition, we will consider certain logical tensions between beliefs and consistency.
