A Top-Down Query Answering Procedure for Normal Logic Programs Under the Any-World Assumption
[chapter]
2007
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The Any-World Assumption (AWA) has been introduced for normal logic programs as a generalization of the well-known notions of Closed World Assumption (CWA) and the Open World Assumption (OWA). ...
Besides being the procedure novel for the AWA, we get for free a novel top-down query procedure for many-valued normal logic programs. ...
Introduction The Any-World Assumption (AWA) for normal logic programs [16] is a generalization of the notions of the Closed World Assumption (CWA) (which asserts that by default the truth of an atom ...

Recent Advances in Querying Probabilistic Knowledge Bases

Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
We concentrate especially on increasing the semantic expressivity of formalisms for representing and querying probabilistic knowledge (i) by giving up the closed-world assumption, (ii) by allowing for ...
commonsense knowledge (and in parallel giving up the tuple-independence assumption), and (iii) by giving up the closed-domain assumption, while preserving some computational properties of query answering ...

Rules with Contextually Scoped Negation
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Knowledge representation formalisms used on the Semantic Web adhere to a strict open world assumption. Therefore, nonmonotonic reasoning techniques are often viewed with scepticism. ...
Especially negation as failure, which intuitively adopts a closed world view, is often claimed to be unsuitable for the Web where knowledge is notoriously incomplete. ...
Acknowledgments The authors thank Jos de Bruijn, Rubén Lara, and Michael Kifer for fruitful discussions and the anonymous reviewers for their useful feedback. ...

Evaluating epistemic negation in answer set programming
2016
Artificial Intelligence
For example, consider a logic program = {p ← Kp}. The rule expresses that for any collection A of answer sets of and any I ∈ A, if p is true in all answer sets in A, then p is true in I . ...
A is defined to be a world view of if it coincides with the collection of answer sets of the nested logic program A under the semantics of Lifschitz et al. [22] . ...

On extended disjunctive logic programs
[chapter]
1993
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
General techniques are described for extending the model, xpoint, and proof theories of an arbitrary semantics of normal disjunctive logic programs to cover the class of extended programs. ...
Logic programming, as an approach to the use of logic in knowledge representation and reasoning, has gone through di erent stages. First, logic programs containing only Horn clauses were considered. ...
Therefore any semantics de ned for the class of normal disjunctive logic programs is also a semantics for the class of normal logic programs. ...

Revision by comparison Since the early 1980s, logical theories of belief revision have offered formal methods for the transformation of knowledge bases or "corpora" of data and beliefs. ...
We provide two kinds of semantics for this idea, give a logical characterization of the new model, study its relation with other operations of belief revision and contraction, and discuss its intuitive ...
An important result is that (under very weak assumptions) query entailment from merged bases is "only" at the first level of the polynomial hierarchy when any of the DA 2 operators is used. ...

In this paper, after giving a brief overview about the current state of the Semantic-Web stack and its components, we will discuss nonmonotonic logic programs under the answer-set semantics as a possible ...

About Epistemic Negation and World Views in Epistemic Logic Programs
2019
Theory and Practice of Logic Programming
AbstractIn this paper we consider Epistemic Logic Programs, which extend Answer Set Programming (ASP) with " epistemic operators" and " epistemic negation", and a recent approach to the semantics of such ...
We show how to exploit an extended ASP semantics in order to: (i) provide a characterization of world views, different from existing ones; (ii) query world views and query the whole set of world views. ...
Introduction Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a successful logic programming paradigm under the answer set semantics (AS) (Gelfond and Lifschitz 1988; . ...
