A Logical Study of Some Common Principles of Inductive Definition and its Implications for Knowledge Representation
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
The definition is a common form of human expert knowledge, a building block of formal science and mathematics, a foundation for database theory and is supported in various forms in many knowledge representation ...
This paper is a formal study of some of the most common forms of inductive definitions found in scientific text: monotone inductive definition, definition by induction over a well-founded order and iterated ...
In knowledge representation, it is widely recognized that definitions are an important form of human expert knowledge that should be supported in knowledge representation and specification logics (Brachman ...

A note on the Declarative reading(s) of Logic Programming
[article]
2000
arXiv
pre-print
One common view is that logic programming is a logic for default reasoning, a sub-formalism of default logic or autoepistemic logic. In this view, negation as failure is a modal operator. ...
This paper analyses the declarative readings of logic programming. Logic programming - and negation as failure - has no unique declarative reading. ...
To some extend, a generalised form of non-monotone induction have been studied in the area of inductive definitions, the so called Iterated Inductive Definitions (Feferman 1970) . ...

Building a Knowledge Base System for an Integration of Logic Programming and Classical Logic
[chapter]
2008
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper presents a Knowledge Base project for FO(ID), an extension of classical logic with inductive definitions. ...
This logic is a natural integration of classical logic and logic programming based on the view of a logic program as a definition. ...
Thus, the "logic programs", i.e., the definitions, in FO(ID) compensate for FO's weakness on representing inductive definitions and common sense knowledge. ...

Logic of induction: a dead horse? some thoughts on the logical foundations of probability

Utilizaremos para isso um conceito de probabilidade presente no Logical Foudations of Probability de Carnap chamada por ele de probabilidade pragmática. ...
De forma a realizar isso, nos apoiaremos na distinçáo entre o problema da justificaçáo da induçáo e o problema da descriçáo da induçáo. ...
Its purpose is rather to serve as a framework for representing inductive implications and drawing the plausible hypotheses entailed by them in a specific knowledge situation. ...

LOGICISM, INTERPRETABILITY, AND KNOWLEDGE OF ARITHMETIC
2014
The Review of Symbolic Logic
This discussion is significant because it gives us a better idea of what a notion of representation must look like if it is to aid in realizing some of the traditional epistemic aims of logicism in the ...
Here an implementation of this idea is considered that holds that knowledge of arithmetical principles may be based on two things: (i) knowledge of logical principles and (ii) knowledge that the arithmetical ...
Representability Premise: It is known that the arithmetical principles are representable in the logical principles. ...

Answer Set Programming's Contributions to Classical Logic
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Much research in logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning originates from dissatisfaction with classical logic as a knowledge representation language, and with classical deduction as a mode for automated ...
In this paper, a look at different aspects of ASP, in an effort to identify precisely the limitations of classical logic that they exposed and investigate how the ASP approaches can be transferred back ...
The wellfounded semantics formalizes the most common forms of inductive definitions such as monotone inductive definitions (e.g., reachability) and (non-monotone) definitions by induction over a well-founded ...

To study the role of (common) knowledge in game theoretical de- cision making, epistemic logics of shallow depths have been devel- oped. ...
The operators of standard temporal logic can be determined in an obvious way using inductive definitions. In contrast, inductive definitions of chop and projection are inherently more complex. ...
Inferential Theory of Learning as a Conceptual Basis for Multistrategy Learning

1993
Multistrategy Learning
To this end, this chapter introduces the Inferential Theory of Learning that provides a conceptual framework for explaining logical capabilities of learning strategies, i.e., their competence. ...
V iewing learning as a process of modifying the learner's knowledge by exploring the learner's experience, the theory postulates that any such process can be described as a search in a knowledge space, ...

FO(ID) as an extension of DL with rules
2010
Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
In this paper, we observe that the logic FO(ID), which was developed as an integration of ASP and classical logic, provides an interesting source of inspiration for such extensions. ...
In particular, it seems well-suited as an upperbound to a hierarchy of increaslingly expressive extensions of DL with rules. ...
FO(ID) is a knowledge representation language that adds inductive definitions to first-order logic. ...
