Deontic Paradoxes in ASP with Weak Constraints

1 code implementation30 Aug 2023 Christian Hatschka, Agata Ciabattoni, Thomas Eiter

The rise of powerful AI technology for a range of applications that are sensitive to legal, social, and ethical norms demands decision-making support in presence of norms and regulations.

Contextual Reasoning for Scene Generation (Technical Report)

no code implementations3 May 2023 Loris Bozzato, Thomas Eiter, Rafael Kiesel, Daria Stepanova

In this paper, we show how to apply our theoretical work to real autonomous-vehicle scene data.

A Neuro-Symbolic ASP Pipeline for Visual Question Answering

1 code implementation16 May 2022 Thomas Eiter, Nelson Higuera, Johannes Oetsch, Michael Pritz

Our pipeline covers (i) training neural networks for object classification and bounding-box prediction of the CLEVR scenes, (ii) statistical analysis on the distribution of prediction values of the neural networks to determine a threshold for high-confidence predictions, and (iii) a translation of CLEVR questions and network predictions that pass confidence thresholds into logic programs so that we can compute the answers using an ASP solver.

Chasing Streams with Existential Rules

no code implementations4 May 2022 Jacopo Urbani, Markus Krötzsch, Thomas Eiter

We study reasoning with existential rules to perform query answering over streams of data.

A Confidence-Based Interface for Neuro-Symbolic Visual Question Answering

no code implementations AAAI Workshop CLeaR 2022 Thomas Eiter, Nelson Nicolas Higuera, Johannes Oetsch, Michael Pritz

We present a neuro-symbolic visual question answering (VQA) approach for the CLEVR dataset that is based on the combination of deep neural networks and answer-set programming (ASP), a logic-based paradigm for declarative problem solving.

Reasoning on Multi-Relational Contextual Hierarchies via Answer Set Programming with Algebraic Measures

no code implementations6 Aug 2021 Loris Bozzato, Thomas Eiter, Rafael Kiesel

In this paper, we overcome these limitations and present a generalization of CKR hierarchies to multiple contextual relations, along with their interpretation of defeasible axioms and preference.

Reasoning on $\textit{DL-Lite}_{\cal R}$ with Defeasibility in ASP

no code implementations28 Jun 2021 Loris Bozzato, Thomas Eiter, Luciano Serafini

In this direction, in our previous works we presented a framework for representing (contextualized) OWL RL knowledge bases with a notion of justified exceptions on defeasible axioms: reasoning in such framework is realized by a translation into ASP programs.

Constraint Monotonicity, Epistemic Splitting and Foundedness Could in General Be Too Strong in Answer Set Programming

no code implementations1 Oct 2020 Yi-Dong Shen, Thomas Eiter

Recently, the notions of subjective constraint monotonicity, epistemic splitting, and foundedness have been introduced for epistemic logic programs, with the aim to use them as main criteria respectively intuitions to compare different answer set semantics proposed in the literature on how they comply with these intuitions.

ASP(AC): Answer Set Programming with Algebraic Constraints

no code implementations10 Aug 2020 Thomas Eiter, Rafael Kiesel

Using a novel combination of Weighted Logic and Here-and-There (HT) Logic, in which this dependence is based on intuitionistic grounds, we introduce Answer Set Programming with Algebraic Constraints (ASP(AC)), where rules may contain constraints that compare semiring values to weighted formula evaluations.

Managing caching strategies for stream reasoning with reinforcement learning

no code implementations7 Aug 2020 Carmine Dodaro, Thomas Eiter, Paul Ogris, Konstantin Schekotihin

In particular, we study the applicability of reinforcement learning to continuously assess the utility of learned constraints computed in previous invocations of the solving algorithm for the current one.

Abstraction for Zooming-In to Unsolvability Reasons of Grid-Cell Problems

no code implementations11 Sep 2019 Thomas Eiter, Zeynep G. Saribatur, Peter Schüller

Humans are capable of abstracting away irrelevant details when studying problems.

A Distributed Approach to LARS Stream Reasoning (System paper)

no code implementations29 Jul 2019 Thomas Eiter, Paul Ogris, Konstantin Schekotihin

Modern approaches to stream reasoning are usually performing their computations using stand-alone solvers, which incrementally update their internal state and return results as the new portions of data streams are pushed.

A Note on Reasoning on $\textit{DL-Lite}_{\cal R}$ with Defeasibility

no code implementations22 May 2019 Loris Bozzato, Thomas Eiter, Luciano Serafini

Representation of defeasible information is of interest in description logics, as it is related to the need of accommodating exceptional instances in knowledge bases.

Towards Abstraction in ASP with an Application on Reasoning about Agent Policies

no code implementations18 Sep 2018 Zeynep G. Saribatur, Thomas Eiter

ASP programs are a convenient tool for problem solving, whereas with large problem instances the size of the state space can be prohibitive.

Reasoning with Justifiable Exceptions in Contextual Hierarchies (Appendix)

no code implementations6 Aug 2018 Loris Bozzato, Luciano Serafini, Thomas Eiter

This paper is an appendix to the paper "Reasoning with Justifiable Exceptions in Contextual Hierarchies" by Bozzato, Serafini and Eiter, 2018.

Stream Reasoning-Based Control of Caching Strategies in CCN Routers

no code implementations13 Oct 2016 Harald Beck, Bruno Bierbaumer, Minh Dao-Tran, Thomas Eiter, Hermann Hellwagner, Konstantin Schekotihin

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) research addresses the mismatch between the modern usage of the Internet and its outdated architecture.

Reactive Policies with Planning for Action Languages

We describe a representation in a high-level transition system for policies that express a reactive behavior for the agent.

A model building framework for Answer Set Programming with external computations

no code implementations6 Jul 2015 Thomas Eiter, Michael Fink, Giovambattista Ianni, Thomas Krennwallner, Christoph Redl, Peter Schüller

As software systems are getting increasingly connected, there is a need for equipping nonmonotonic logic programs with access to external sources that are possibly remote and may contain information in heterogeneous formats.

Towards Ideal Semantics for Analyzing Stream Reasoning

The rise of smart applications has drawn interest to logical reasoning over data streams.

As for problem solving, we provide a formal definition of its kernel language, function-free disjunctive logic programs (also known as disjunctive datalog), extended by weak constraints, which are a powerful tool to express optimization problems.
