Induction and Confirmation Theory: An Approach based on a Paraconsistent Nonmonotonic Logic [PDF]

open access: yesPrincípios, 2010
This paper is an effort to realize and explore the connections that exist between nonmonotonic logic and confirmation theory. We pick up one of the most wide-spread nonmonotonic formalisms – default logic – and analyze to what extent and under what ...

Role of Logic in Cognitive Science

open access: yesStudia Humana, 2018
In their work McCulloch and Pitts describe an idea of representing all of nervous activity in terms of propositional logic. This idea was quickly challenged.

Ancestor Worship in The Logic of Games. How foundational were Aristotle's contributions?

open access: yesThe Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication, 2013
Notwithstanding their technical virtuosity and growing presence in mainstream thinking, game theoretic logics have attracted a sceptical question: "Granted that logic can be done game theoretically, but what would justify the idea that this is the ...

Reasoning about Minimal Belief and Negation as Failure

open access: yes, 2011
We investigate the problem of reasoning in the propositional fragment of MBNF, the logic of minimal belief and negation as failure introduced by Lifschitz, which can be considered as a unifying framework for several nonmonotonic formalisms, including ...

Representation results for defeasible logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The importance of transformations and normal forms in logic programming, and generally in computer science, is well documented. This paper investigates transformations and normal forms in the context of Defeasible Logic, a simple but efficient formalism ...

On Properties of Update Sequences Based on Causal Rejection

open access: yes, 2001
We consider an approach to update nonmonotonic knowledge bases represented as extended logic programs under answer set semantics. New information is incorporated into the current knowledge base subject to a causal rejection principle enforcing that, in ...

The SP Theory of Intelligence: An Overview

open access: yesInformation, 2013
This article is an overview of the SP theory of intelligence, which aims to simplify and integrate concepts across artificial intelligence, mainstream computing and human perception and cognition, with information compression as a unifying theme.

Nonmonotonic Logics and Semantics

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Computation, 2001
Tarski gave a general semantics for deductive reasoning: a formula a may be deduced from a set A of formulas iff a holds in all models in which each of the elements of A holds. A more liberal semantics has been considered: a formula a may be deduced from a set A of formulas iff a holds in all of the "preferred" models in which all the elements of A ...

3D Anodic Alumina Nanoarchitectures: A Decade of Progress from Foundational Science to Functional Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ordered three‐dimensional anodic aluminum oxide (3D‐AAO) nanoarchitectures with longitudinal and transverse pores enable architecture‐driven metamaterials. The review maps fabrication advances, including hybrid pulse anodization, and shows how 3D‐AAO templates tailor properties across magnetism, energy, catalysis, and sensing.
