TOWARDS A CHANGE-BASED CHANCE DISCOVERY

Zhiwen Wu, Ahmed Y. Tawfik

2005

Abstract

This paper argues that chances (risks or opportunities) can be discovered from our daily observations and background knowledge. A person can easily identify chances in a news article. In doing so, the person combines the new information in the article with some background knowledge. Hence, we develop a deductive system to discover relative chances of particular chance seekers. This paper proposes a chance discovery system that uses a general purpose knowledge base and specialised reasoning algorithms.
