The lexicographic closure as a revision process

, 2000
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 ...

Nonmonotonic Reasoning

Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 1997
Nonmonotonic reasoning provides formal methods that enable intelligent systems to operate adequately when faced with incomplete or changing information. In particular, it provides rigorous mechanisms for taking back conclusions that, in the presence of new information, turn out to be wrong and for deriving new, alternative conclusions instead ...

Partial MaxSAT Approach to Nonmonotonic Reasoning with System W

Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference
The only recently introduced System W is a nonmonotonic inductive inference operator exhibiting some notable proper- ties like extending rational closure and satisfying syntax split- ting postulates for inference from conditional belief bases. A semantic

Embedding Defeasible Logic into Logic Programming

, 2005
Defeasible reasoning is a simple but efficient approach to nonmonotonic reasoning that has recently attracted considerable interest and that has found various applications. Defeasible logic and its variants are an important family of defeasible reasoning

Dynamics of the Fisher Information Metric [PDF]

, 2004
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.

Electrical Control of the Transduction Channels’ Gating Force in Mechanosensory Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The inner ear's hair cells rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to convert vibrations of their hair‐bundle into electrical signals. We show that varying the electrical potential (U) across the sensory epithelium modulates a key determinant of mechanosensitivity—the gating force (FG)—by modulating the gating swing (d), ranging from the size of the ...

A Kinetic Framework for the Pyrolysis of Poly(Ether‐Ketone‐Ketone) (PEKK)

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Crosslinking influences poly(ether‐ether‐ketone) (PEKK) pyrolysis. ABSTRACT Research to date on the thermal degradation of poly(ether‐ketone‐ketone) (PEKK) has largely been limited to low temperatures or analysis as part of a composite. Herein, we investigate the pyrolysis kinetics of neat PEKK from 480°C to 1000°C and characterize the degradation by ...

Implementing Default and Autoepistemic Logics via the Logic of GK [PDF]

, 2014
The logic of knowledge and justified assumptions, also known as logic of grounded knowledge (GK), was proposed by Lin and Shoham as a general logic for nonmonotonic reasoning.

Does Managerial Ability Improve Environmental Performance and Overall ESG Ratings? The Impact of the European Sustainability Reporting Mandate

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Diverging Approaches to Skeptical Inference in Non-monotonic Reasoning

Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology
Our paper addresses the problem of a two-fold approach to skeptical inferences in the context non-monotonic logics. We tackle the problem through the analysis of ambiguous theories, such as the Nixon Diamond, as instantiated in non-monotonic inheritance ...
