Exploiting Irrelevance Reasoning to Guide Problem Solving

Identifying that parts of a knowledge base (KB) are irrelevant to a speciic query is a powerful method of controlling search during problem solving. However, nding methods of such irrelevance reasoning and analyzing their utility are open problems. We present a framework based on a proof-theoretic analysis of irrelevance that enables us to address these problems. Within the framework, we focus ...

Hypophosphatemia is caused by inadequate intake, decreased intestinal absorption, excessive urinary excretion, or a shift of phosphate from the extracellular to the intracellular compartments. Renal phosphate wasting can result from genetic or acquired renal disorders. Acquired renal phosphate wasting sy...
