Inductive Inference and Nonmonotonic Reasoning

For the Sake of the Argument - Ramsey Test Conditionals, Inductive Inference and Nonmonotonic Reasoning

Reading is a hobby to open the knowledge windows. Besides, it can provide the inspiration and spirit to face this life. By this way, concomitant with the technology development, many companies serve the e-book or book in soft file. The system of this book of course will be much easier. No worry to forget bringing the for the sake of the argument ramsey test conditionals inductive inference and ...

Mental models and nonmonotonic reasoning

Johnson-Laird & Byrne (J-L & B) are equivocal concerning the scope of mental-model theory. On the one hand, they are careful to note that mental models are aimed primarily at explaining deduction, although commonsense inference is not deductive in character. On the other hand, they contend that mental-model theory solves the problem of nonmonotonic reasoning, which is not deductive and is chara...

Nonmonotonic Learning in Large Biological Networks

This paper introduces a new open-source implementation of a nonmonotonic learning method called XHAIL and shows how it can be used for abductive and inductive inference on metabolic networks that are many times larger than could be handled by the preceding prototype. We summarise several implementation improvements that increase its efficiency and we introduce an extended form of language bias ...

Nonmonotonic Inductive Logic Programming

Nonmonotonic logic programming (NMLP) and inductive logic programming (ILP) are two important extensions of logic programming. The former aims at representing incomplete knowledge and reasoning with commonsense, while the latter targets the problem of inductive construction of a general theory from examples and background knowledge. NMLP and ILP thus have seemingly different motivations and goa...
