  3. Rewrite Rule RHS * LHS Term * args {disjoint, complete} {disjoint, complete} Functional Term Non-Functional Term Ground Term Non-Ground Term Function Symbol Constant Symbol Variable Rewrite Rules: Abstract Syntax Rewrite Rule Base plus(X,0)  X fib(suc(suc(N))) plus(fib(suc(N)),fib(N))

  4. : Rewrite Rule Base • : Unifying Set of Pairs: • Instantiated Rule • Instantiated Sub-term [ Matching Pair Set Empty ] Unify LHS of Rewrite Rule Base against sub-terms of Term Pick one Pair Set [ Else ] T : Term [ Matching Pair Set Singleton ] • : Pair • Instantiated Rule R • Instantiated Sub-Term S Substitute Sub-Term S in Term T by RHS of Rule R Rewrite Rules: Operational Semantics

  5. plus(X,0)  X plus(X,suc(Y))  suc(plus(X,Y)) fib(0)  suc(0) fib(suc(0))  suc(0) fib(suc(suc(N))  plus(fib(suc(N)),fib(N)) fib(suc(suc(suc(0)))) w/ rule e plus(fib(suc(suc(0))),fib(suc(0))) w/ rule d plus(fib(suc(suc(0))),suc(0)) w/ rule b suc(plus(fib(suc(suc(0))),0)) w/ rule a suc(fib(suc(suc(0)))) w/ rule e suc(plus(fib(suc(0)),fib(0))) w/ rule c suc(plus(fib(suc(0)),suc(0))) w/ rule b suc(suc(plus(fib(suc(0)),0))) w/ rule a suc(suc(fib(suc(0)))) w/ rule c suc(suc(suc(0))) Rewrite Rule Base Computation Example

  6. Conditional Rewrite Rules:Abstract Syntax Rewrite Rule Base Rewrite Rule X = 0  Y = 0 | X + Y  0 RHS * Condition LHS * 2 Equation Term • Rule with matching LHS can only be fired if condition is also verified • Proving condition can be recursively done by rewriting it to true

  7. Rewrite Rule Base: criminal(P)  american(P)  weapon(W)  nation(N)  hostile(N)  sells(P,N,W) sells(west,nono,W)  owns(nono,W)  missile(W) hostile(N)  enemy(N,america) weapon(W)  missile(W) owns(nono,m1)  missile(m1)  american(west)  nation(nono)  enemy(nono,america)  true A  B  B  A A  A  A Term: criminal(P) american(P)  weapon(W)  nation(N)  hostile(N)  sells(P,N,W) w/ rule a american(P)  weapon(W)  nation(N) hostile(N) owns(nono,W)  missile(W) w/ rule b american(P)  weapon(W) nation(N) enemy(N,america) owns(nono,W)  missile(W) w/ rule c american(P)  missile(W)  nation(N)  enemy(N,america)  owns(nono,W) missile(W) w/ rule d american(P)  missile(W)  nation(N)  enemy(N,america)  owns(nono,W) w/ rule g ... w/ rule f owns(nono,W) missile(W)  american(P)  nation(N)  enemy(N,america) w/ rule f truew/ rule e Rewrite Rule Base Deduction Example:Is West Criminal?

  8. Rewriting Systems: Practical Application • Theorem proving • CASE: • Programming language formal semantics • Program verification • Compiler design and implementation • Model transformation and automatic programming • Data integration • Using XSLT an XML-based language to rewrite XML-based data and documents • Web server pages and web services (also using XSLT)

  9. Implementing a Rewriting Systemin CHR • Map each conditional rewrite system rule of the formCondition | LHS  RHSonto a CHR simplification rule of the formLHS  Condition | RHSi.e., map the rewrite rule condition onto the CHRguard the rewrite rule LHS onto the CHRhead the rewrite rule RHS onto the CHRbody • For example:X = 0  Y = 0 | X + Y  0 becomes X + Y  X= 0, Y = 0 | 0 • But this translation is naive and not working in the general case • The inferior expressive power of uni-directional and top-level onlymatching of a CHR rule head with a constraint conjunction; • as compared to rewrite systems bi-directional and recursively down to any embedded sub-levelunification of a rewrite rule LHS with an expression.

  10. Implementing a Rewriting Systemin CHR • Overcoming matching's mono-directionality: • Ground terms in the rewrite rules must be transformed into non-ground terms with their variable values instantiated in the CHR rule guard; • Overcoming matching's lack of recursivity down the embedded structures: • Each rewrite rule, must be translated into a set of CHR simplification rules, one for each embedding context in which it can be recursively unified • In the general case, this can lead to an a CHR base that is exponentially larger than the rewrite system base • ex: r) fib(0)  suc(0) translated as: r0@ fib(X)  X = 0 | suc(X) r1@ suc(fib(X))  X = 0 | suc(suc(X)) r2@ suc(suc(fib(X)))  X = 0 | suc(suc(suc(X))) ... r1'@ plus(X,fib(Y))  Y = 0 | plus(X,suc(Y)) r2'@ plus(fib(X),Y)  X= 0 | plus(suc(X),suc(Y)) ...

  11. CHRV: Matching applied to atomic formula conjunctions Rule head is matched with constraint store sub-set, which requires head to be more general than sub-set Propagation rules provide further simplification opportunities CHRV vs. Rewriting Systems Common characteristics: • Forward chains rules • Requires conflict resolution strategy to choose: • Which of several matching rules to fire • Non-monotonic reasoning due to: • Constraint retraction in Rule-Defined Constraint Store • Retraction of substituted sub-term • Tricky confluence and termination issues Rewriting Systems: • Unification of LHS is applied recursively down to sub-terms • Rule LHS is unified with sub-term which can thus be more general than LHS • All reasoning done through rewriting (no propagation rules)

  15. Conflict Resolution Strategies • Conflict resolution strategy: • Heuristic to choose at each cycle which of the matching rule set to fire • Common strategies: • Follow writing order of rules in rule base • Follow absolute priority level annotations associated with each rule or rule class • Follow relative priority level annotations associated with pairs of rules or rule classes • Prefer rules whose LHS match the most recently derived facts in the fact base • Prefer rules that have remained for the longest time unfired while matching a fact • Apply control meta-rules that declaratively specify arbitrarily sophisticated strategies

  16. Production Rule Base: IF american(P) AND weapon(W) AND nation(N) AND hostile(N) AND sell(P,N,W) THEN add{criminal(P)} IF owns(nono,W) AND missile(W) THEN add{sells(west,nono,W) IF missile(W) THEN add{weapon(W)} IF enemy(N,america) THEN add{hostile(N)} Initial Fact Base: owns(nono,m1) missile(m1) american(west) nation(nono) enemy(nono,america) nation(america) Production Rule Base Example:Is West Criminal?

  17. Production Rule Inference Example:Is West Criminal? criminal(west)? criminal(P) american(P) weapon(W) nation(N) hostile(N) sells(P,N,W) sells(west,nono,W) missile(W) enemy(N,america) owns(nono,W) american(west) missile(m1) nation(nono) enermy(nono,america) owns(nono,m1) nation(america)

  27. Properties of Production Systems • Confluence: • From confluent rule base, same final fact base is derived independently of rule firing order • Makes values of queries made to the system independent of the conflict resolution strategy • Termination: • Terminating system does not enter in an infinite loop; • Example of non-termination production rule base: • Initial fact base: p(0) • Production rule base: IF p(X) THEN Y = X + 1 AND add{p(Y)} • Any production system which conflict resolution strategy does not prevent the same rule instance to be fired in two consecutive cycles is trivially non-terminating.

  28. Production System Inference Sequential conjunction of actions in rule RHS Non-monotonic reasoning due to delete actions Matching only Datalog atoms (i.e., atoms which arguments are all non-functional terms) Matching ground fact atoms against non-ground atoms in rule LHS And-Or atom Neither sound nor complete inference engine Lifted Forward Chaining Unique conclusion in Horn Clause Monotonic reasoning Unifying arbitrary first-order atoms, possibly functional Unifying two arbitrary atoms, possibly both non-grounds Sound and refutation-complete Production System Inference vs.Lifted Forward Chaining Common characteristics: • Data driven reasoning • Requires conflict resolution strategy to choose: • Which of several matching rules to fire • Which of several unifying clauses for next Modus Ponens inference step

  30. Generalized Production Rules: ECA Rules • Event-Condition-Action rule: extension of production rule with triggering event external to addition of facts in fact base • Only the rule subset which event just occurred is matched against the fact base • Events thus partition the rule base into subsets, each one specifying a behavior in response to a given events Event Condtion Action Rule LHS RHS Event Agent’s Percept HPL Boolean Operation

  32. Semi-Natural Language Syntaxfor Production Rules • Associate key word or key phrase to: • Each domain model constant, function and predicate symbol • Each production rule syntactic construct • Each host programming language construct • Substitute in place of these constructs and symbols the associated words or phrase • Example: “Is West Criminal?” in semi-natural language syntax IF P is American AND P sells a W to N AND W is a weapon AND N is a nation AND N is hostile THEN P is a criminal IF nono owns a W AND W is a missile THEN west sells nono to W IF W is a missile THEN W is a weapon IF N is an enemy of America THEN N is hostile

  33. Production System Inference Fact base implicitly conjunctive Matching only Datalog atoms (i.e., atoms which arguments are all non-functional terms) Matching ground fact atoms against non-ground atoms in rule LHS And-Or atom Production Rules vs. Rewriting Rules Common characteristics: • Data driven reasoning • Requires conflict resolution strategy to choose: • Which of several matching rules to fire • Which of several rules with an LHS unifying with a sub-term • Non-monotonic reasoning due to: • Fact deletion actions in RHS • Retraction of substituted sub-term • Tricky confluence and termination issues Term Rewriting • Reified logical connectives in term provide full first-order expressivity • Unifying arbitrary first-order atoms, possibly functional • Unifying two arbitrary atoms, possibly both non-grounds

  34. CHRV: Constraint store contains arbitrary atoms including functional, non-ground atoms Simplification rules allow straightforward modeling for goal-driven reasoning, with rewriting simulating Prolog-like backward chaining Disjunctive bodies Built-in backtracking search CHRV vs. Production Systems Common characteristics: • Forward chains rules • Requires conflict resolution strategy to choose: • Which of several matching rules to fire • Non-monotonic reasoning due to: • Constraint retraction in Rule-Defined Constraint Store • Fact retraction in the RHS • Tricky confluence and termination issues Production Systems: • Fact base only contains ground Datalog atoms • Cumbersome modeling to implement goal-driven reasoning • No disjunctions in RHS • No built-in search

  35. Implementing a Production Systemin CHR • Map each production rule of the form:If m1 and ... and ml then a1 and ... and anwhere: {a1 ,..., an} = {add(n1) ,..., add(ni)} {delete(o1) ,..., delete(oj)} {hplOp1(p11,..., p1n) ,..., hplOpk(pk1,..., pkm)} • onto a CHR simpagation rule of the form:p1,..., pr \ o1 ,..., oj hplOp1(p11, ..., p1n) ,..., hplOpk(pk1,..., pkm) | n1 ,..., ni.where {p1,..., pr} = {m1,..., ml} \ {o1 ,..., oj} • Valid only when: • {o1 , ... , oj} \ {m1, ... , ml} = , and • C{hplOp1(p11,..., p1n),...,hplOpk(pk1,..., pkm)}, O{o1,...,oj}, N{n1,...,ni} C occurs before O and N in a1 and ... and an • i.e., there no direct way in CHR to: • delete facts (ground constraints) not matched in the rule head • call host programming language operations after some matched facts have been deleted or add to the fact base (constraint store) • two possibilities allowed in production systems that make the resulting rule base operational behavior hard to comprehend, verify and maintain

  36. Declarative Programming Formal Software Specification Logic Programming Automated Reasoning Intelligent Databases Formal Logic Theory Logic Programming: a Versatile Metaphor

  37. Logic Programming: Key Ideas

  38. Logic programming vision • Single language with logic-based declarative semantics that is: • A Turing-complete, general purpose programming language • A versatile, expressive knowledge representation language to support deduction and other reasoning services useful for intelligent agents (abduction, induction, constraint solving, belief revision, belief update, inheritance, planning) • Data definition, query and update language for databases with built-in inference capabilities • "One tool solves all" philosophy: • Any computation = resolution + unification + search • Programming = declaring logical axioms (Horn clauses) • Running the program = query about theorems provable from declared axioms • Algorithmic design entirely avoided (single, built-in control structure) • Same language for formal specification (modeling) and implementation • Same language for model checking and code testing

  39. Prolog • First and still most widely used logic programming language • Falls short to fulfill the vision in many respect: • Many imperative constructs with no logical declarative semantics • No commercial deductive database available • Most other logic programming languages both: • Extend Prolog • Fulfill better one aspect of the logic programming vision • In the 80s, huge Japanese project tried to entirely rebuild all of computing from ground up using logic programming as hardware basis

  40. * Pure Prolog Term arg predicate Symbol clauses Definite Query +connective =  Definite Clause +connective =  Numerical Symbol c11 (...,Xk1,...) :- p11(...,Xi1,...), ... , pm1(...,Xj1,...). ... c1n (...,Xkn,...) :- p1n(...,Xin,...), ... , pmn(...,Xjn,...).

  42. Pure Prolog program declarative formal semantics • Declarative, denotational, intentional: • Clark’s transformation to CFOL formula • First-order formula semantically equivalent to program • Declarative, denotational, extentional, model-theoretic: • Least Herbrand Model • Intersection of all Herbrand Models • Conjunction of all ground formulas that are deductive consequences of program

  43. Classical First-Order Predicate Logic: NoUnique Name Assumption (UNA): two distinct symbols can potentially be paraphrases to denote the same domain entity Open-World Assumption (OWA): If KB |≠ Q but KB |≠ Q , the truth value of Q is considered unknown Ex: KB: true  core(ai)  true  core(se)  core(C)  offered(C,T)  true  offered(mda,fall) Q: true  offered(mda,spring) OWA necessary for monotonic, deductively sound reasoning: If KB |= T then A, KB  A |= T Logic Programming: UNA: two distinct symbols necessarily denote two distinct domain entities Closed-World Assumption (CWA): If KB |≠ Q but KB |≠ Q , the truth value of Q is considered false Ex: ?- offered(mda,spring) fail CWA is a logically unsound form of negatively abductive reasoning CWA makes reasoning inherently non-monotonic as one can have:KB |= T but KB  A |≠ Tif the proof KB |= T included steps assuming A false by CWA Motivation: intuitive, representational economy, consistent w/ databases CFOL x Prolog Semantic Assumptions

  44. Transform Pure Prolog Program P into semantically equivalent CFOL formula comp(P) Same answer query set derived from P (abductively) than from FP (deductively) Example P:core(se). core(ai). offered(mda,fall). offered(C,T) :- core(C). ?- offered(mda,spring) no ?- Naive semantics naive(P):C,T true  core(ai)  true  core(se)  true  offered(mda,fall)  core(C)  offered(C,T) naive(P) |≠ offered(mda,spring) Clark’s completion semantics comp(P): C,T,C1,T1 (core(C1)  (C1=ai C1=se)) (offered(C1,T1)  (C1=mda  T1=fall)  (C,T (C1=C T1=T core(C)))) (ai=se)  (ai=mda)  (ai=fall)  (se=fall)  (se=mda)  (mda=fall)Fp |= offered(mda,spring) Clark’s completion semantics

  45. Clark’s transformation • Axiomatizes closed-world and unique name assumptions in CFOL • Starts from naive Horn formula semantics of pure Prolog program • Partitions program in clause sets, each one defining one predicate (i.e., group together clauses with same predicate c(t1, ..., tn) as conclusion) • Replaces each such set by a logical equivalence • One side of this equivalence contains c(X1, ..., Xn) where X1, ..., Xn are fresh universally quantified variables • The other side contains a disjunction of conjunctions, one for each original clause • Each conjunction is either of the form: • Xi = ci ... Xj = ci, if the original clause is a ground fact • Yi ... Yj Xi = Yi ...  Xj = Yj p1( ...)  ...  pn( ... ) if the original clause is a rule with body p1( ...)  ...  pn( ... ) containing variables Yi ... Yj • Joins all resulting equivalences in a conjunction • Adds conjunction of the form (ci = cj) for all possible pairs (ci,cj) of constant symbols in pure Prolog program

  46. SLD Resolution • SLD resolution (Linear resolution with Selection function for Definite logic programs): • Joint use of goal-driven set of support and input resolution heuristics • Always pick last proven theorem clause with next untried axiom clause • Always questions last pick even if unrelated to failure that triggered backtracking • A form of goal-driven backward chaining of Horn clauses seen as deductive rules • Prolog uses special case of SLD resolution where: • Axiom clauses tried in top to bottom program writing order • Atoms to unify in the two picked clauses: • Conclusion of selected axiom clause • Next untried premise of last proven theorem clause in left to right program writing order (goal) • Unification without occur-check • Generates proof tree in top-down, depth-first manner • Failure triggers systematic, chronological backtracking: • Try next alternative for last selection even if clearly unrelated to failure • Reprocess from scratch new occurrences of sub-goals previously proven true or false • Simple, intuitive, space-efficient, time-inefficient, potentially non-terminating (incomplete)

  47. Refutation proof principle: To prove KB |= F Prove logically equivalent: (KB  F) |= True In turn logically equivalent to: (KB   F) |= False (american(P)  weapon(W)  nation(N)  hostile(N)  sells(P,N,W)  criminal(P)) //1  (T  owns(nono,m1)) //2a  (T  missile(m1)) //2b  (owns(nono,W)  missile(W) sells(west,nono,W)) //3  (T  american(west)) //4  (T  nation(nono)) //5  (T  enemy(nono,america)) //6  (missile(W)  weapon(W)) //7  (enemy(N,america) hostile(N)) //8  (T  nation(america)) //9  (criminal(west)  F) //0 Refutation Resolution Proof Example 1. Solve 0 w/ 1 unifying P/west:american(west)  weapon(W)  nation(N) hostile(N)  sells(west,N,W)  F //10 2. Solve 10 w/ 4:weapon(W)  nation(N)  hostile(N) sells(west,N,W)  F //11 3. Solve 11 w/ 7: missile(W)  nation(N)  hostile(N) sells(west,N,W)  F //12 4. Solve 12 w/ 2b unifying W/m1:nation(N)  hostile(N)  sells(west,N,m1)  F //13 5.
