The representation of medical reasoning models in resolution-based theorem provers
1993
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
In particular, we investigate the logical representation of three typical reasoning models in medicine: diagnostic, anatomical and causal reasoning. ...
Furthermore, the pragmatics of using theorem-proving techniques in consulting such logic-based medical expert systems is discussed. ...
Implementation of the resolution-based theorem prover in COMMON LISP was carried out together with Bob van den Berg, who developed most of the program. ...

An order-sorted resolution in theory and practice
1997
Theoretical Computer Science
This system gives the desired powerful sort reasoner, boosting the resolution prover which underlies the verification tool. ...
Our techniques use Frisch's hybrid model, which localises the sort information in the sort reasoner, and Walther's sorted unification algorithm. ...
Acknowledgements I would like to thank the anonymous referees and the editor for many helpful suggestions. ...

A Survey on Theorem Provers in Formal Methods
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Technically, mathematical formalisms and automated reasoning based-approaches are employed to perform inferences and to generate proofs in theorem provers. ...
However, these tools evolved with time and now play vital role in the modeling and reasoning about complex and large-scale systems, especially safety-critical systems. ...

Influences of Frege's Predicate Logic on Some Computational Models
2018
Future Human Image
There are certain universal reasoning patterns, based on the way that our minds actually work, and these are captured in FOL". ...
In addition, the resolution principle turned out to be a very effective tool of Automated Theorem Proving, a sort of effective logic programs used to verify and prove important, usually hard, constraints ...
Vampire is used to solve a large variety of problems, but it is well effective in software verification, hardware design and verification, knowledge representation and reasoning, and Mathematical theorem ...

A Survey of Computational Semantics: Representation, Inference and Knowledge in Wide-Coverage Text Understanding
2011
Language and Linguistics Compass
The aim of computational semantics is to capture the meaning of natural language expressions in representations suitable for performing inferences, in the service of understanding human language in written ...
Promising future research directions of computational semantics are investigating alternative representation and inference methods (using weaker variants of first-order logic, reasoning with defaults), ...

CoqTL: An Internal DSL for Model Transformation in Coq
[chapter]
2018
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Existing tools that aim at simplifying the interactive verification of MTs typically translate the MT specification (e.g. in ATL) and properties to prove (e.g. in OCL) into an interactive theorem prover ...
We propose an alternative solution by designing and implementing an internal domain specific language, namely CoqTL, for the specification of declarative MTs directly in the Coq interactive theorem prover ...
We thank Rémi Douence for his valuable help during the development of CoqTL. ...

In fact, ontologies use open-world reasoning while the leading semantics for rules use non-monotonic, closed-world reasoning. ...
Ontologies and rules are usually loosely coupled in knowledge representation formalisms. ...
So the computation calls the CDF theorem prover which starts to derive a model for all the properties of the individual callback. ...

A Framework for Automated Conflict Detection and Resolution in Medical Guidelines
2019
Science of Computer Programming
The back-end takes the formal models associated with multiple guidelines and checks their correctness with a theorem prover, and inherent inconsistencies with a constraint solver. ...
The presented extended framework has a front-end which takes guidelines captured in a standard modelling language and returns the visualisation of the detected conflicts as well as suggested alternative ...
For these reasons, modern theorem provers, including Isabelle, provide SMT code generators. ...
