An epistemic logic for modeling decisions in the context of incomplete knowledge

no code implementations18 Dec 2023 Đorđe Marković, Simon Vandevelde, Linde Vanbesien, Joost Vennekens, Marc Denecker

A challenging problem is that of expressing decision knowledge in the context of incomplete knowledge.

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.

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.

Quantification and Aggregation over Concepts of the Ontology

no code implementations2 Feb 2022 Pierre Carbonnelle, Matthias van der Hallen, Marc Denecker

To avoid nonsensical sentences in this formalism, we refine the concept of well-formed sentences, and propose a method to verify well-formedness with a complexity that is linear with the number of tokens in the formula.

Interactive configurator with FO(.) and IDP-Z3

1 code implementation1 Feb 2022 Pierre Carbonnelle, Simon Vandevelde, Joost Vennekens, Marc Denecker

Industry abounds with interactive configuration problems, i. e., constraint solving problems interactively solved by persons with the assistance of a computer.

Analyzing Semantics of Aggregate Answer Set Programming Using Approximation Fixpoint Theory

no code implementations30 Apr 2021 Linde Vanbesien, Maurice Bruynooghe, Marc Denecker

The problem of selecting an appropriate formalisation of aggregates for answer set programming (ASP) remains unsettled.

Justifications and a Reconstruction of Parity Game Solving Algorithms

no code implementations2 Feb 2021 Ruben Lapauw, Maurice Bruynooghe, Marc Denecker

Parity games are infinite two-player games played on directed graphs.

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.

The informal semantics of Answer Set Programming: A Tarskian perspective

no code implementations26 Jan 2019 Marc Denecker, Yuliya Lierler, Miroslaw Truszczynski, Joost Vennekens

In 1999, the seminal papers on answer set programming proposed to use this logic for a different purpose, namely, to model and solve search problems.

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.

The KB paradigm and its application to interactive configuration

no code implementations6 May 2016 Pieter Van Hertum, Ingmar Dasseville, Gerda Janssens, Marc Denecker

The knowledge base paradigm aims to express domain knowledge in a rich formal language, and to use this domain knowledge as a knowledge base to solve various problems and tasks that arise in the domain by applying multiple forms of inference.

Visualising interactive inferences with IDPD3

no code implementations3 Nov 2015 Ruben Lapauw, Ingmar Dasseville, Marc Denecker

A large part of the use of knowledge base systems is the interpretation of the output by the end-users and the interaction with these users.

Grounding FO and FO(ID) with Bounds

no code implementations16 Jan 2014 Johan Wittocx, Maarten Mariën, Marc Denecker

We first present our method for classical first-order logic (FO) theories.
