Using Symmetries to Lift Satisfiability Checking

no code implementations6 Nov 2023 Pierre Carbonnelle, Gottfried Schenner, Maurice Bruynooghe, Bart Bogaerts, Marc Denecker

Thus, we propose a 2-step novel method: (i) the sentence to be satisfied is automatically translated into an equisatisfiable sentence over a ``lifted'' vocabulary that allows domain compression; (ii) satisfiability of the lifted sentence is checked by growing the (initially unknown) compressed domain until a satisfying structure is found.

Interactive Model Expansion in an Observable Environment

no code implementations20 May 2023 Pierre Carbonnelle, Joost Vennekens, Bart Bogaerts, Marc Denecker

We study this class of problems in a context where some of the relevant information about the environment is not known by the user at the start of the search.

Non-deterministic approximation operators: ultimate operators, semi-equilibrium semantics and aggregates (full version)

no code implementations18 May 2023 Jesse Heyninck, Bart Bogaerts

Approximation fixpoint theory (AFT) is an abstract and general algebraic framework for studying the semantics of non-monotonic logics.

Efficiently Explaining CSPs with Unsatisfiable Subset Optimization (extended algorithms and examples)

no code implementations21 Mar 2023 Emilio Gamba, Bart Bogaerts, Tias Guns

We build on a recently proposed method for stepwise explaining solutions of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) in a human-understandable way.

Explanation Generation

Distributed Subweb Specifications for Traversing the Web

no code implementations28 Feb 2023 Bart Bogaerts, Bas Ketsman, Younes Zeboudj, Heba Aamer, Ruben Taelman, Ruben Verborgh

In existing ltqp approaches, the burden of finding sources to query is entirely in the hands of the data consumer.

Non-Deterministic Approximation Fixpoint Theory and Its Application in Disjunctive Logic Programming

no code implementations30 Nov 2022 Jesse Heyninck, Ofer Arieli, Bart Bogaerts

Approximation fixpoint theory (AFT) is an abstract and general algebraic framework for studying the semantics of nonmonotonic logics.

Tree-Like Justification Systems are Consistent

no code implementations5 Aug 2022 Simon Marynissen, Bart Bogaerts

Justification theory is an abstract unifying formalism that captures semantics of various non-monotonic logics.

Negation

On Nested Justification Systems (full version)

no code implementations9 May 2022 Simon Marynissen, Jesse Heyninck, Bart Bogaerts, Marc Denecker

Justification theory is a general framework for the definition of semantics of rule-based languages that has a high explanatory potential.

Certified Symmetry and Dominance Breaking for Combinatorial Optimisation

no code implementations23 Mar 2022 Bart Bogaerts, Stephan Gocht, Ciaran McCreesh, Jakob Nordström

Symmetry and dominance breaking can be crucial for solving hard combinatorial search and optimisation problems, but the correctness of these techniques sometimes relies on subtle arguments.

Fixpoint Semantics for Recursive SHACL

no code implementations17 Sep 2021 Bart Bogaerts, Maxime Jakubowski

In this paper, we argue that for defining and studying semantics of recursive SHACL, lessons can be learned from years of research in non-monotonic reasoning.

Efficiently Explaining CSPs with Unsatisfiable Subset Optimization

1 code implementation25 May 2021 Emilio Gamba, Bart Bogaerts, Tias Guns

We build on a recently proposed method for explaining solutions of constraint satisfaction problems.

LP2PB: Translating Answer Set Programs into Pseudo-Boolean Theories

1 code implementation22 Sep 2020 Wolf De Wulf, Bart Bogaerts

Answer set programming (ASP) is a well-established knowledge representation formalism.

Exploiting Game Theory for Analysing Justifications

no code implementations4 Aug 2020 Simon Marynissen, Bart Bogaerts, Marc Denecker

We show that justification frameworks can be seen as a special type of games.

A framework for step-wise explaining how to solve constraint satisfaction problems

no code implementations11 Jun 2020 Bart Bogaerts, Emilio Gamba, Tias Guns

We propose the use of a cost function to quantify how simple an individual explanation of an inference step is, and identify the explanation-production problem of finding the best sequence of explanations of a CSP.

BreakID: Static Symmetry Breaking for ASP (System Description)

no code implementations30 Aug 2016 Jo Devriendt, Bart Bogaerts

Symmetry breaking has been proven to be an efficient preprocessing technique for satisfiability solving (SAT).

Implementing a Relevance Tracker Module

no code implementations19 Aug 2016 Joachim Jansen, Jo Devriendt, Bart Bogaerts, Gerda Janssens, Marc Denecker

PC(ID) extends propositional logic with inductive definitions: rule sets under the well-founded semantics.

Stable-Unstable Semantics: Beyond NP with Normal Logic Programs

no code implementations5 Aug 2016 Bart Bogaerts, Tomi Janhunen, Shahab Tasharrofi

In this paper, we present a novel logic programming--based modeling paradigm that combines the best features of ASP and QBFs.

Propagators and Solvers for the Algebra of Modular Systems

no code implementations27 Jun 2016 Bart Bogaerts, Eugenia Ternovska, David Mitchell

In this paper, we construct a solver for the model expansion task for a complex modular systems from an expression in the algebra and black-box propagators or solvers for the primitive modules.
