Belief Change based on Knowledge Measures

no code implementations15 Mar 2024 Umberto Straccia, Giovanni Casini

On the other hand, Belief Change (BC) is the process of changing beliefs (in our case, in terms of contraction, expansion and revision) taking into account a new piece of knowledge, which possibly may be in contradiction with the current belief.

A General Framework for Modelling Conditional Reasoning -- Preliminary Report

no code implementations15 Feb 2022 Giovanni Casini, Umberto Straccia

We introduce and investigate here a formalisation for conditionals that allows the definition of a broad class of reasoning systems.

A Minimal Deductive System for RDFS with Negative Statements

no code implementations11 Feb 2022 Umberto Straccia, Giovanni Casini

The triple language RDFS is designed to represent and reason with \emph{positive} statements only (e. g."antipyretics are drugs").

Situated Conditional Reasoning

no code implementations3 Sep 2021 Giovanni Casini, Thomas Meyer, Ivan Varzinczak

With the semantics in place, we proceed to define a form of entailment for situated conditional knowledge bases, which we refer to as minimal closure.

A Rational Entailment for Expressive Description Logics via Description Logic Programs

no code implementations28 Jun 2021 Giovanni Casini, Umberto Straccia

Lehmann and Magidor's rational closure is acknowledged as a landmark in the field of non-monotonic logics and it has also been re-formulated in the context of Description Logics (DLs).

Defeasible RDFS via Rational Closure

no code implementations15 Jul 2020 Giovanni Casini, Umberto Straccia

In this work, we show how to integrate RC within the triple language RDFS, which together with OWL2 are the two major standard semantic web ontology languages.

Theoretical Foundations of Defeasible Description Logics

no code implementations16 Apr 2019 Katarina Britz, Giovanni Casini, Thomas Meyer, Kody Moodley, Uli Sattler, Ivan Varzinczak

Besides showing that our semantics is appropriate, these results pave the way for more effective decision procedures for defeasible reasoning in DLs.

On Rational Entailment for Propositional Typicality Logic

no code implementations28 Sep 2018 Richard Booth, Giovanni Casini, Thomas Meyer, Ivan Varzinczak

Propositional Typicality Logic (PTL) is a recently proposed logic, obtained by enriching classical propositional logic with a typicality operator capturing the most typical (alias normal or conventional) situations in which a given sentence holds.

A Polynomial Time Subsumption Algorithm for Nominal Safe $\mathcal{ELO}_\bot$ under Rational Closure

no code implementations22 Feb 2018 Giovanni Casini, Umberto Straccia, Thomas Meyer

We then also adapt the method to one of the known extensions of RC for DLs, namely Defeasible Inheritance-based DLs without losing the computational tractability.

Revising Incompletely Specified Convex Probabilistic Belief Bases

no code implementations7 Apr 2016 Gavin Rens, Thomas Meyer, Giovanni Casini

In this work, an agent's beliefs are represented by a set of probabilistic formulae -- a belief base.
