Commonsense Reasoning
Author: Erik T. Mueller
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080476619
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
To endow computers with common sense is one of the major long-term goals of Artificial Intelligence research. One approach to this problem is to formalize commonsense reasoning using mathematical logic. Commonsense Reasoning is a detailed, high-level reference on logic-based commonsense reasoning. It uses the event calculus, a highly powerful and usable tool for commonsense reasoning, which Erik T. Mueller demonstrates as the most effective tool for the broadest range of applications. He provides an up-to-date work promoting the use of the event calculus for commonsense reasoning, and bringing into one place information scattered across many books and papers. Mueller shares the knowledge gained in using the event calculus and extends the literature with detailed event calculus solutions to problems that span many areas of the commonsense world. - Covers key areas of commonsense reasoning including action, change, defaults, space, and mental states. - The first full book on commonsense reasoning to use the event calculus. - Contextualizes the event calculus within the framework of commonsense reasoning, introducing the event calculus as the best method overall. - Focuses on how to use the event calculus formalism to perform commonsense reasoning, while existing papers and books examine the formalisms themselves. - Includes fully worked out proofs and circumscriptions for every example.

Rippling: Meta-Level Guidance for Mathematical Reasoning
Author: Alan Bundy
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521834490
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Rippling is a radically new technique for the automation of mathematical reasoning. It is widely applicable whenever a goal is to be proved from one or more syntactically similar givens. It was originally developed for inductive proofs, where the goal was the induction conclusion and the givens were the induction hypotheses. It has proved to be applicable to a much wider class of tasks, from summing series via analysis to general equational reasoning. The application to induction has especially important practical implications in the building of dependable IT systems, and provides solutions to issues such as the problem of combinatorial explosion. Rippling is the first of many new search control techniques based on formula annotation; some additional annotated reasoning techniques are also described here. This systematic and comprehensive introduction to rippling, and to the wider subject of automated inductive theorem proving, will be welcomed by researchers and graduate students alike.

Automated Reasoning and the Discovery of Missing and Elegant Proofs
Author: Larry Wos
Publisher: Rinton PressInc
ISBN: 9781589490239
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Most appealing - and sometimes even stirring - is a well-constructed case showing that, without doubt, some given assertion holds. Typically, such a case is based on logical and flawless reasoning, on a sequence of steps that follow inevitably from the hypotheses used to deduce each. In other words, a proof is given establishing that the assertion under consideration indeed holds. Such proofs are clearly crucial to logic and to mathematics. Not so obvious, but true, proofs are crucial to circuit design, program writing, and, more generally, to various activities in which reasoning plays a vital role. Indeed, most desirable is the case in which no doubt exists regarding the absence of flaws in the design of a chip, in the structure of a computer program, in the argument on which an important decision is based. Such careful reasoning is even the key factor in games that include chess and poker. This book features one example after another of flawless logical reasoning the context is that of finding proofs absent from the literature. The means for finding the missing proofs is reliance on a single computer program, William McCune's automated reasoning program OTTER. One motivating force for writing this book is to interest others in automated reasoning, logic and mathematics. As the text strongly indicates, we delight in using OTTER equally in two quite distinct activities: finding a proof where none is offered by the literature, and finding a proof far more appealing than any the literature provides. We believe that the challenge offered by the type of problem featured in this book can be as engrossing as solving puzzles and playing various games that appeal to the mind. Indeed,sometimes, inexpressible is the excitement engendered when seeking a proof with fewer steps than was found by one of the great minds of the twentieth century. A second motivating force resets with our obvious enjoyment of the type of research featured in this book. Like the fancier of fine wines, we continually seek new open questions to attack, whether (at one end of the spectrum) they concern the settling of a conjecture or (at the other end) the focus is on proof betterment. We encourage readers to send us additional open questions and challenging problems. Another factor that motivated us was our wish to collect in a single volume a surprisingly large number of proofs, most of which were previously absent from the literature. In some cases, no proof was offered of any type; in some cases, the proof that was offered was far from axiomatic. None of the proofs rely on induction, or on metal argument, or on higher-order logic. In one sense, the book can serve as an encyclopedia of proofs -- many new and many improved - a work that sometimes extends, sometimes replaces, and sometimes supplements the research of more than a century. These proofs offer the implicit challenge of finding others that are further improvements. In a rather different sense, the book may serve as the key to eventually answering one open question after another, whether the context is logic, mathematics, design, synthesis, or some other area relying on sound reasoning. In that regards, we include in details numerous diverse methodologies are themselves intriguing. For an example, one methodology asks for two independent paths that lead to success and, rather than emphasizing what is common to both (theirintersection), instead heavily focuses on what is not shared (their symmetric difference). Although the emphasis here is on their use in the context of logic and mathematics, we conjecture that the methodologies we offer will prove most useful in a far wider context. We also suspect that, especially for those who enjoy solving puzzles and unraveling the mysteries of sciences, the nature of the methodologies will provide substantial stimulation. This volume introduce some readers to the excitement of discovering new results, increase the intrigue of those already familiar with such excitement, and (for the expert) add to the arsenal of weapons for attacking deep questions and hard problems.
