The Aristotelian syllogistic cannot account for the validity of certain inferences involving relational facts. In this paper, we investigate the prospects for providing a relationa...
Boolean matching is one of the enabling techniques for technology mapping and logic resynthesis of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). SAT-based Boolean matching (SAT-BM) has bee...
We report on a successful experiment of computeraided theorem discovery in the area of logic programming with answer set semantics. Specifically, with the help of computers, we d...
Independence--the study of what is relevant to a given problem of reasoning--is an important AI topic. In this paper, we investigate several notions of conditional independence in...
In this paper, we explore the possibility of transforming queries with minimum and maximum predicates into equivalent queries that can be computed more efficiently. The main contr...
