Role of Logic in Cognitive Science
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.

A Description Logic of Typicality for Conceptual Combination [PDF]
We propose a nonmonotonic Description Logic of typicality able to account for the phenomenon of combining prototypical concepts, an open problem in the fields of AI and cognitive modelling.

Nonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation [PDF]
It is suggested that taking into account considerations that traditionally fall within the scope of computer science in general, and artificial intelligence in particular, sheds new light on the subject of causation. It is argued that adopting causal notions con be viewed as filling a computational need: They allow reasoning with incomplete information,

Dynamics of the Fisher Information Metric [PDF]
We present a method to generate probability distributions that correspond to metrics obeying partial differential equations generated by extremizing a functional $J[g^{\mu\nu}(\theta^i)]$, where $g^{\mu\nu}(\theta^i)$ is the Fisher metric.

Reasoning about Minimal Belief and Negation as Failure
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
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 lexicographic closure as a revision process
The connections between nonmonotonic reasoning and belief revision are well-known. A central problem in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning is the problem of default entailment, i.e., when should an item of default information representing "if A is true ...

State of the art algorithms for many pattern recognition problems rely on data-driven deep network models. Training these models requires a large labeled dataset and considerable computational resources. Also, it is difficult to understand the working of
