Whither Consequence?

open access: yesInformal Logic, 2011
There are passages in Fallacies suggesting a skeptical attitude to the very idea of inductive arguments, hence to the existence of inductive fallacies.

Embedding Non-Ground Logic Programs into Autoepistemic Logic for Knowledge Base Combination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In the context of the Semantic Web, several approaches to the combination of ontologies, given in terms of theories of classical first-order logic and rule bases, have been proposed.

A Description Logic Framework for Commonsense Conceptual Combination Integrating Typicality, Probabilities and Cognitive Heuristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We propose a nonmonotonic Description Logic of typicality able to account for the phenomenon of concept combination of prototypical concepts. The proposed logic relies on the logic of typicality ALC TR, whose semantics is based on the notion of rational ...

Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Expectations Orderings, and Conceptual Spaces

open access: yesJournal of Logic, Language and Information, 2021
In Gärdenfors and Makinson (Artif Intell 65(2):197–245, 1994) and Gärdenfors (Knowledge representation and reasoning under uncertainty, Springer-Verlag, 1992) it was shown that it is possible to model nonmonotonic inference using a classical consequence ...

Reactive preferential structures and nonmonotonic consequence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We introduce information bearing systems (IBRS) as an abstraction of many logical systems. We define a general semantics for IBRS, and show that IBRS generalize in a natural way preferential semantics and solve open representation ...

Proof Complexity of Propositional Default Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Default logic is one of the most popular and successful formalisms for non-monotonic reasoning. In 2002, Bonatti and Olivetti introduced several sequent calculi for credulous and skeptical reasoning in propositional default logic.

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 ...

Optimizing the computation of overriding

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce optimization techniques for reasoning in DLN---a recently introduced family of nonmonotonic description logics whose characterizing features appear well-suited to model the applicative examples naturally arising in biomedical domains and ...

The Complexity of Reasoning for Fragments of Default Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Default logic was introduced by Reiter in 1980. In 1992, Gottlob classified the complexity of the extension existence problem for propositional default logic as $\SigmaPtwo$-complete, and the complexity of the credulous and skeptical reasoning problem as
