This paper provides an account of the representation of defaults in Cyc and their semantics in terms of first order logic with reification. Default reasoning is a complex thing, a...
ABSTRACT. This paper investigates the problem of finding subclasses of nonmonotonic reasoning which can be implemented efficiently. The ability to "define" propositions u...
In the logical approach to information retrieval (IR), retrieval is considered as uncertain inference. Whereas classical IR models are based on propositional logic, we combine Dat...
Abstract. We present a framework for updating logic programs under the answer-set semantics that builds on existing work on preferences in logic programming. The approach is simple...
In this paper we describe REVISE, an extended logic programming system for revising knowledge bases. REVISE is based on logic programming with explicit negation, plus a two-valued...
