Conditional deduction in binary logic basically consists of deriving new statements from an existing set of statements and conditional rules. Modus Ponens, which is the classical e...
We present a framework for the automatic recognition of complex multi-agent events in settings where structure is imposed by rules that agents must follow while performing activit...
