Modeling Abduction over Acyclic First-Order Logic Horn Theories in Answer Set Programming: Preliminary Experiments

نویسنده

  • Peter Schüller
چکیده

We describe encodings in Answer Set Programming for abductive reasoning in First Order Logic in acyclic Horn theories in the presence of value invention and in the absence of Unique Names Assumption. We perform experiments using the Accel benchmark for abductive plan recognition in natural language processing. Results show, that our encodings cannot compete with state-of-the-art realizations of First Order Logic abduction, mainly due to large groundings. We analyze reasons for this bad performance and outline potential future improvements.

Modeling Variations of First-Order Horn Abduction in Answer Set Programming

We study abduction in First Order Horn logic theories where all atoms can be abduced and we are looking for prefered solutions with respect to objective functions cardinality minimality, Coherence, or Weighted Abduction. We represent this reasoning problem in Answer Set Programming (ASP), in order to obtain a flexible framework for experimenting with global constraints and objective functions, ...

Fuzzy answer set computation via satisfiability modulo theories

Fuzzy answer set programming (FASP) combines two declarative frameworks, answer set programming and fuzzy logic, in order to model reasoning by default over imprecise information. Several connectives are available to combine different expressions; in particular the Gödel and Lukasiewicz fuzzy connectives are usually considered, due to their properties. Although the Gödel conjunction can be easi...

Translating First-Order Theories into Logic Programs

This paper focuses on computing first-order theories under either stable model semantics or circumscription. A reduction from first-order theories to logic programs under stable model semantics over finite structures is proposed, and an embedding of circumscription into stable model semantics is also given. Having such reduction and embedding, reasoning problems represented by first-order theor...

A Tractable Class of Abduction Problems

literal: Let p be a proposition. Then p and -p are literals. clause: A clause is a disjunction of literals. Horn Clause: A Horn Clause is a clause in which there is at most one positive literal. definite clause: A definite clause is a Hom Clause in which there is exactly one positive literal. A definite clause such as can also be written as We call pi the head of the clause, and the conjunction...

DATALOG with Constraints - An Answer-Set Programming System

Answer-set programming (ASP) has emerged recently as a viable programming paradigm well attuned to search problems in AI, constraint satisfaction and combinatorics. Propositional logic is, arguably, the simplest ASP system with an intuitive semantics supporting direct modeling of problem constraints. However, for some applications, especially those requiring that transitive closure be computed,...
