Believing in default rules: inclusive default reasoning [PDF]

open access: yesSynthese
Abstract This paper argues for the reasonableness of an inclusive conception of default reasoning. The inclusive conception allows untriggered default rules to influence beliefs: Since a default “from $$\varphi $$ , infer $$\psi $$ ” is a defeasible inference rule, it by default warrants a

A logic for default reasoning [PDF]

open access: yesArtificial Intelligence, 1980
The need to make default assumptions is frequently encountered in reasoning about incompletely specified worlds. Inferences sanctioned by default are best viewed as beliefs which may well be modified or rejected by subsequent observations. It is this property which leads to the non-monotonicity of any logic of defaults.

Default Reasoning Implementation in CoGui

open access: yes, 2014
This is an application paper in which we propose to present the actualimplementation of default reasoning under conceptual graph formalism usingCoGui. CoGui is a free graph-based visual tool, developed in Java, for buildingConceptual Graph knowledge bases.

Default reasoning in a terminological logic

open access: yesComput. Artif. Intell., 1995
Summary: Terminological logics (TLs) are knowledge representation formalisms of considerable applicative interest, as they are specifically oriented to the vast class of application domains that are describable by means of taxonomic organizations of complex objects.

Non-symbolic Ratio Reasoning in Kindergarteners: Underlying Unidimensional Heuristics and Relations With Math Abilities

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Although it is thought that young children focus on the magnitude of the target dimension across ratio sets during binary comparison of ratios, it is unknown whether this is the default approach to ratio reasoning, or if such approach varies across ...

Prioritizing Answer Sets Based on Conditional Expert Knowledge

open access: yesProceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, 2023
Answer set programming (ASP) and conditional reasoning both are powerful and widely used methodologies from the field of knowledge representation and reasoning (KR) which are capable of formalizing default statements that usually hold but also leave room

Mental Simulation as a Remedy for Biased Reasoning [PDF]

open access: yesStudia Psychologica, 2019
Prompting mental simulation with a counterfactual scenario has been found to enhance rationality in individuals and groups. Building upon previous findings and the dual-process accounts of reasoning, we hypothesized that debiasing power of mental ...
