Practical Partition-Based Theorem Proving for Large Knowledge Bases
Query answering over commonsense knowledge bases typically employs a first-order logic theorem prover. While first-order inference is intractable in general, provers can often b...

Partition-Based Logical Reasoning
We investigate the problem of reasoning with partitions of related logical axioms. Our motivation is two-fold. First, we are concerned with how to reason effectively with multiple...

Lifted-FL: A Pragmatic Implementation of Combined Model Checking and Theorem Proving
Combining theorem proving and model checking o ers the tantalizing possibility of e ciently reasoning about large circuits at high levels of abstraction. We have constructed a syst...

Semantic Selection of Premisses for Automated Theorem Proving
We develop and implement a novel algorithm for discovering the optimal sets of premisses for proving and disproving conjectures in first-order logic. The algorithm uses interpret...

A Decomposition Rule for Decision Procedures by Resolution-Based Calculi
Resolution-based calculi are among the most widely used calculi for theorem proving in first-order logic. Numerous refinements of resolution are nowadays available, such as e.g. ...
