In this climate, the development of strategies to assist ...Read more
Author:Britz, K; Meyer, T; Varzinczak, IDate:Jul 2011The preferential and rational consequence relations first studied by Lehmann and colleagues play a central role in non-monotonic reasoning, not least because they provide the foundation for the determination of the important notion of rational ...Read more
Author:Halland, K; Britz, KDate:Jun 2012The formal definition of abduction asks what needs to be added to a knowledge base to enable an observation to be entailed by the knowledge base. An observation which is not entailed by the knowledge base will result in open branches in a ...Read more
Author:Casini, G; Meyer, T; Moodley, K; Varzinczak, IDate:Jul 2013The introduction of defeasible reasoning in Description Logics has been a main research topic in the field in the last years. Despite the fact that various interesting formalizations of nonmonotonic reasoning for the TBox have been proposed, ...Read more
Author:Varzinczak, IJDate:Feb 2010As historically acknowledged in the Reasoning about Actions and Change community, intuitiveness of a logical domain description cannot be fully automated. Moreover, like any other logical theory, action theories may also evolve, and thus ...Read more
Author:Booth, R; Meyer, T; Varzinczak, IDate:Sep 2012We introduce Propositional Typicality Logic (PTL), a logic for reasoning about typicality. We do so by enriching classical propositional logic with a typicality operator of which the intuition is to capture the most typical (or normal) ...Read more
Author:Britz, K; Meyer, T; Varzinczak, IDate:Dec 2011Description logics are a well-established family of knowledge representation formalisms in Artificial Intelligence. Enriching description logics with non-monotonic reasoning capabilities, especially preferential reasoning as developed by ...Read more
