Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings volume contains revised and reviewed papers based on talks presented at the first International Workshop on Nonmonotonic and Inductive Logic held in Karlsruhe, December 1990. The workshop was supported by the Volkswagen-Stiftung, Hannover, and provided a forum for researchers from the two fields to communicate and find areas of cooperation. The papersare organized into sections on: - Nonmonotonicity in logic programs - Axiomatic approach to nonmonotonic reasoning - Inductive inference - Autoepistemic logic - Belief updates The bulk of the papers are devoted to nonmonotonic logic and provide an up-to-date view of the current state of research presented by leading experts in the field. A novelty in the contributions from the area of inductive logic is the analysis of nonmonotonicity in the theory of inductive learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I first participated in exploring theories of nonmonotonic reasoning in the late 1970s, I had no idea of the wealth of conceptual and mathematical results that would emerge from those halting first steps. This book by Wiktor Marek and Miroslaw Truszczynski is an elegant treatment of a large body of these results. It provides the first comprehensive treatment of two influen tial nonmonotonic logics - autoepistemic and default logic - and describes a number of surprising and deep unifying relationships between them. It also relates them to various modal logics studied in the philosophical logic litera ture, and provides a thorough treatment of their applications as foundations for logic programming semantics and for truth maintenance systems. It is particularly appropriate that Marek and Truszczynski should have authored this book, since so much of the research that went into these results is due to them. Both authors were trained in the Polish school of logic and they bring to their research and writing the logical insights and sophisticated mathematics that one would expect from such a background. I believe that this book is a splendid example of the intellectual maturity of the field of artificial intelligence, and that it will provide a model of scholarship for us all for many years to come.

Download or read book Non Monotonic Logic written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Non Monotonic Logic A formal logic is said to be non-monotonic if its conclusion connection does not follow a monotonic pattern. In other words, the purpose of non-monotonic logics is to capture and represent defeasible inferences. This refers to a type of inference in which reasoners form tentative conclusions, which allows reasoners to retract their conclusion(s) based on future data. Non-monotonic logics are designed to do this.The vast majority of formal logics that have been examined have a monotonic entailment relation, which indicates that the addition of a formula to a theory does not result in the trimming of its set of conclusions. Intuitively, the concept of monotonicity suggests that acquiring new information does not have the potential to narrow the scope of what is already known. A monotonic logic is incapable of handling a variety of reasoning tasks, including reasoning by default, abductive reasoning, key approaches to reasoning about knowledge, and belief revision.

Download or read book Explanatory Nonmonotonic Reasoning written by Alexander Bochman and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many approaches in the field of nonmonotonic and commonsense reasoning are actually different representations of the same basic ideas and constructions. This book gives a logical formalization of the original, explanatory approach to nonmonotonic reasoning. It uses the basic formalism of biconsequence relations, as well as derived systems of default, autoepistemic and causal inference, to cover in a single framework such diverse systems as default logic, autoepistemic and modal nonmonotonic logics, input/output and causal logics, argumentation theory, and semantics of general logic programs with negation as failure. This approach provides a clear separation between logical (monotonic) and nonmonotonic aspects of nonmonotonic reasoning. The separation allows, in particular, to single out the logics underlying modern logic programming and restore thereby the connection between logic programming and logic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2009), held during September 14–18, 2009 in Potsdam, Germany. LPNMR is a forum for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, nonmonotonic reasoning and knowledge representation. The aim of the c- ference is to facilitate interaction between researchers interested in the design and implementation of logic-based programming languages and database s- tems, and researchers who work in the areas of knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning. LPNMR strives to encompass theoretical and expe- mental studies that have led or will lead to the construction of practical systems for declarative programming and knowledge representation. The special theme of LPNMR 2009 was “Applications of Logic Progr- ming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning” in general and “Answer Set Programming (ASP)” in particular. LPNMR 2009 aimed at providing a comprehensive survey of the state of the art of ASP/LPNMR applications. The special theme was re?ected by dedicating an entire dayof the conference to applications. Apart from special sessions devoted to original and signi?cant ASP/LPNMR applications, we solicited contributions providing an overview of existing successful applications of ASP/LPNMR systems. The presentations on applications were accompanied by two panels, one on existing and another on future applications of ASP/LPNMR.
Download or read book Nonmonotonic Reasoning written by Dritan Berzati and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capability to reason in a world full of uncertainties, vagueness and ignorance is what distinguishes humans. This ability to argument in a partially known world is the informal definition of common-sense reasoning. The question how common-sense reasoning is performed occupied humanity since we can think of. Last century this issue reached an immense importance. Especially during the last three decades the study of common-sense reasoning became one of the major research topics in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Several formalisms to capture the mechanism of common-sense reasoning have been proposed so far. This book concentrates on presenting the most important formalisms for common-sense reasoning, and, showing that one of the discussed formalisms serves perfectly to capture the mechanism of common-sense reasoning, since this formalism subsumes all other in this book introduced formalisms dealing with common-sense reasoning.
