Knowledge Base Reformation: Preparing First-Order Theories for Efficient Propositional Reasoning
We present an approach to knowledge compilation that transforms a function-free first-order Horn knowledge base to propositional logic. This form of compilation is important since...

A Tractability Result for Reasoning with Incomplete First-Order Knowledge Bases
In previous work, Levesque proposed an extension to classical databases that would allow for a certain form of incomplete first-order knowledge. Since this extension was suffici...

Computing Intersections of Horn Theories for Reasoning with Models
We consider computational issues in combining logical knowledge bases represented by their characteristic models; in particular, we study taking their logical intersection. We pre...

Logic, Knowledge Representation, and Bayesian Decision Theory
In this paper I give a brief overview of recent work on uncertainty inAI, and relate it to logical representations. Bayesian decision theory and logic are both normative frameworks...

Topological Spatio-Temporal Reasoning and Representation
We present here a theory of motion from a topological point of view, in a symbolic perspective. Taking space-time histories of objects as primitive entities, we introduce temporal...
