Approximation Techniques for Space-Efficient Compilation in Abductive Inference
2008
International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
Although generating an approximate compilation is intractable in general, we describe a preference-based PAP for which order-of-magnitude smaller compilations can be generated. ...
We address the problem of approximately compiling propositional abduction problems (PAPs). ...
A model of a formula f is an interpretation M that maps f to true (written M |= true).
Propositional Abduction Problem We adapt the notation of to describe propositional abduction. ...

On Weak Constrained Argumentation Frameworks
2021
International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence
We discuss the complexity of WAFs under several well-known argumentation semantics, showing that weak constraints increase the expressive power of AFs and CAFs. ...
Integrity constraints help to express domain knowledge in a compact and natural way, thus keeping easy the modeling task even for problems that otherwise would be hard to encode within an AF. ...
Introduction Despite the expressive power and generality of Dung's abstract Argumentation Framework (AF) [1] , in some cases it is difficult to accurately model domain knowledge by an AF in a natural ...

Compactly representing utility functions using weighted goals and the max aggregator
2010
Artificial Intelligence
Weighted propositional formulas can be used to model preferences over combinatorial domains: each formula represents a goal we would like to see satisfied, the weight of a formula represents the importance ...
The satisfaction relation | for models and formulas is defined in the usual way for propositional logic: We give names to some types of propositional formulas: 2 The XOR we refer to here is logical XOR ...
For a given set of propositional variables, alternatives correspond to models for propositional formulas. ...

asprin: Customizing Answer Set Preferences without a Headache
2015
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH AAAI CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TWENTY-EIGHTH INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE
In this paper we describe asprin, a general, flexible, and extensible framework for handling preferences among the stable models of a logic program. ...
We also give algorithms for computing one, or all, optimal stable models of a logic program. ...

To demonstrate the expressive power of PSC programming, we have shown that PSC programming can be used to express optimal stable models of ASO (Brewka, Niemelä, and Truszczynski 2003) , and the general ...

Measuring Knowledge for Recognition and Knowledge Entropy
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Secondly, by solving the equations, formulas for measuring the levels of knowledge and the levels of ignorance are obtained in two particular cases. ...
Finally, it is pointed out that the obtained formulas of knowledge and knowledge entropy reflect two fundamental principles: (1) The knowledge level of a group is not necessarily a simple sum of the individuals ...

Representing interval orders by weighted bases: Some complexity results
2009
Mathematical Social Sciences
This paper is centered on the notion of interval order as a model for preferences. ...
We show how interval orders can be represented by elements of those languages, called weighted bases. We identify the complexity of the main decision problems. ...
Let us now show that a language of weighted bases for representing interval orders is strictly more expressive than the language of penalty-based representations for cardinal preferences: Proposition 5 ...

Implementing Preferences with asprin
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
asprin offers a framework for expressing and evaluating combinations of quantitative and qualitative preferences among the stable models of a logic program. ...
Moreover, we show how the computation of optimal stable models can be boosted by using declarative heuristics. ...
A basic preference is originally expressed by a propositional formula using Boolean as well as temporal connectives. ...

Solving conflicts in information merging by a flexible interpretation of atomic propositions
2011
Artificial Intelligence
Although many techniques for merging conflicting propositional knowledge bases have already been proposed, most existing work is based on the idea that inconsistency results from the presence of incorrect ...
In accordance with this view, we propose a novel approach to merging which exploits extra-logical background information about the semantic relatedness of atomic propositions. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank the anonymous reviewers, whose detailed comments have greatly improved the readability of this paper. ...

Logical Preference Representation and Combinatorial Vote
2004
Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
We introduce the notion of combinatorial vote, where a group of agents (or voters) is supposed to express preferences and come to a common decision concerning a set of non-independent variables to assign ...
of the paper entitled "From preference representation to combinatorial vote", ...
Languages based on propositional logic are not only compact, but also particularly expressive, thanks to the expressive power of logic, and therefore they are close to intuition (ideally, a preference ...

Kingmakers and Leaders in Coalition Formation

The effects of different preference assumptions-particularly, different kinds of single-peakedness-and of player weights on the number of coherent coalitions, their connectedness, and which players become ...
We illustrate and test the model by applying it to coalition formation on the U.S. ...
In general, the number of possible FB coalitions increases with n, the number of players, for which we gave a formula. We also gave a formula for the maximum level at which an FB coalition must form. ...
