TL;DR
This paper develops a system for reasoning with usual information based upon the fact that these pieces of commonsense information involve both a probabilistic aspect and a granular aspect and is implemented with the aid of possibility-probability granules.
Abstract
In many cases commonsense knowledge consists of knowledge of what is usual. In this paper we develop a system for reasoning with usual information. This system is based upon the fact that these pieces of commonsense information involve both a probabilistic aspect and a granular aspect. We implement this system with the aid of possibility-probability granules.

The enormous problem of the volume of background common sense knowledge required to understand even very simple natural language texts is discussed and it is suggested that networks of frames are a reasonable approach to represent such knowledge.
Artificial IntelligenceA logic for default reasoning
3,920 Citations1980Raymond Reiter
This paper proposes a logic for default reasoning, develops a complete proof theory and shows how to interface it with a top down resolution theorem prover, and provides criteria under which the revision of derived beliefs must be effected.
Artificial IntelligenceCircumscription—A form of non-monotonic reasoning
2,012 Citations1980John McCarthy
Circumscription formalizes conjectural reasoning that humans and intelligent computer programs must often jump to the conclusion that the objects they can determine to have certain properties or relations are the only objects that do.
Fuzzy Sets and SystemsThe role of fuzzy logic in the management of uncertainty in expert systems
1,282 Citations1983Lotfi A. Zadeh
F fuzzy logic is suggested, which is the logic underlying approximate or, equivalently, fuzzy reasoning, which leads to various basic syllogisms which may be used as rules of combination of evidence in expert systems.
Artificial IntelligenceNon-monotonic logic I

F fuzzy set theory which provides a methodology of treating human subjectivity, linguistic meanings, etc. is reviewed and its novel applications to some actual problems are introduced to show the efficiency of the theory.

It is shown how variables whose values are represented by Dempster-Shafer structures can be combined under arithmetic operations such as addition under the intersection operation.

Concomitant AVR for moderate aortic stenosis should be performed during CABG and may be performed with minimal additional operative risk, owing to an increased perioperative risk, poor midterm survival, and minimal risk of AVR at 5 years.
International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesToward a general theory of reasoning with uncertainty. Part II: probability
15 Citations1986Ronald R. Yager
This work looks at procedures for representing information which has a probabilistic as well as a possibilistic component associated with it and use is made of the theory of approximate reasoning aswell as the Dempster-Shafer theory.
IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and CyberneticsLinguistic representation of default values in frames
14 Citations1984Ronald R. Yager
It is suggested that the default values associated with the slots in the construct of frames can be represented by possibility distributions, which are then used to help in the validation of a frame under observation of data.
