Using constraint logic techniques, it is made possible to use a wellknown metainterpreter backwards as a device for generating programs. A metainterpreter is developed, which prov...
ABSTRACT. It has long been recognized that the concept of inconsistency is a central part of commonsense reasoning. In this issue, a number of authors have explored the idea of rea...
We focus on the productionof efficient descriptionsof objects, actions and events. We define a type of efficiency, textualeconomy, thatexploitsthe hearer’s recognitionof infe...
Meta-level architectures for dynamic control of reasoning processes are quite powerful. In the literature many applications in reasoning systems modelling complex tasks are descri...
Reasoning about the physical world is a central human cognitive activity. One aspect of such reasoning is the inference of function from the structure of the artifacts one encount...
In the law, it is generally acknowledged that there are intuitive differences between reasoning with rules and reasoning with principles. For instance, a rule seems to lead directl...
Decision trees allow the modeling of event-dependent reasoning, but do not consider the dynamics of contextual changes in reasoning. In the framework of the SART project, which ai...
Abstract. A new equational foundation is presented for the Fluent Calculus, an established predicate calculus formalism for reasoning about actions. We discuss limitations of the e...
Johnson-Laird and coworkers' Mental Model theory of propositional reasoning is shown to be somewhere in between what logicians have defined as "credulous" and "...
Various forms of reasoning, the profusion of knowledge, the gap between neuro-inspired approaches and conceptual representations, the problem of inconsistent data input, and the ma...
