A resource bounded default logic
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents statistical default logic, an expansion of classical (i.e., Reiter) default logic that allows us to model common inference patterns found in standard inferential statistics, including hypothesis testing and the estimation of a populations mean, variance and proportions. The logic replaces classical defaults with ordered pairs consisting of a Reiter default in the first coordinate and a real number within the unit interval in the second coordinate. This real number represents an upper-bound limit on the probability of accepting the consequent of an applied default and that consequent being false. A method for constructing extensions is then defined that preserves this upper bound on the probability of error under a (skeptical) non-monotonic consequence relation.

First-Order Expressibility and Boundedness of Disjunctive Logic Programs
In this paper, the fixed point semantics developed in [Lobo et al., 1992] is generalized to disjunctive logic programs with default negation and over arbitrary structures, and proved to coincide with the stable model semantics. By using the tool of ultraproducts, a preservation theorem, which asserts that a disjunctive logic program without default negation is bounded with respect to the propos...
متن کاملKnowledge, Logical Omniscience, and Resource-bounded Reasoning
Agent theories typically use modal epistemic logic for modeling knowledge of agents. Since the modal approach to epistemic logic cannot formalize resource-bounded reasoning adequately, it it not suited to describe realistic, implementable agents. We develop a framework for solving that problem. We introduce the notion of algorithmic knowledge — a concept that establishes a direct link between a...
متن کاملDecidable Model-Checking for a Resource Logic with Production of Resources
Several logics for expressing coalitional ability under resource bounds have been proposed and studied in the literature. Previous work has shown that if only consumption of resources is considered or the total amount of resources produced or consumed on any path in the system is bounded, then the model-checking problem for several standard logics, such as Resource-Bounded Coalition Logic (RB-C...
متن کاملLogic for coalitions with bounded resources
Recent work on Alternating-Time Temporal Logic and Coalition Logic has allowed the expression of many interesting properties of coalitions and strategies. However there is no natural way of expressing resource requirements in these logics. This paper presents a Resource-Bounded Coalition Logic (RBCL) which has explicit representation of resource bounds in the language, and gives a complete and ...
