Applying Knowledge Reasoning Techniques In Neural Networks

The logic of abduction and deduction contribute to our conceptual understanding of a phenomenon, while the logic of induction adds quantitative details to our conceptual knowledge. In this paper, we will look into how this reasoning techniquesabduction, deduction and induction, are relevant in neural networks logic programming. Deduction simplifies the knowledge representation without affecting...

Abduction and induction from a non-monotonic reasoning perspective

In this chapter, induction and abduction are investigated in a non-monotonic reasoning framework. We recall that several meanings can be given to logic-based abduction and induction. In particular, we distinguish explanatory and descriptive induction. Explanatory induction is closely related to abduction. Descriptive induction is related to abduction in a less straightforward way. While both ca...

On the Generalized Deduction, Induction and Abduction as the Elementary Reasoning Operators within Computational Semiotics

We first elaborate on the definition of an elementary unit of knowledge, called here knowledge unit. Then we define three knowledge operators, knowledge extraction, knowledge generation and knowledge selection, aimed at being the elementary ways of reasoning. These are compared to the traditional deduction, induction and abduction reasoning operators, resulting in the proposal that our knowledg...

On the Diierence between Abduction and Induction: a Model Theoretic Perspective

In this paper, we show how an appropriate possible world semantics exhibits the fundamental diierences between various forms of logical reasoning such as deduction, abduction and induction. The ensuing model theoretic formal-isation provides a solid foundation for exact further discourse on the issue, such as deciding whether a particular instance of reasoning should be classiied as abduction o...
