  5. Propositional Autoepistemic Logic The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  6. Propositional Autoepistemic Logic – Examples (1)  = LA (A "integrity constraint"), does not have an epistemic model: I I1 I2 Mis sound but not complete: take M :A A A :B :B B The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  7. M1 is complete: ({:A},M1) ²L A ! A Propositional Autoepistemic Logic – Examples (2)  = L A ! A("select A or not") has two epistemic models I1 I2 I1 M2 M1 A A :A The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  8. I1 I1 I2 M2 M3 A A :A is not sound is not complete: ({A},M1) ² A !L A ({:A},M2) ² A !L A Propositional Autoepistemic Logic – Examples (3)  = A !L A("A is false by default") has one epistemic model M1 I1 M1 :A The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  9. First-Order Autoepistemic Logic - Domains Assumptions • Constant domain assumption (CDA): every I2M has the same countable infinite domain |I|= • Rigid term assumption (RTA): every ground -term t evaluates to same value in every interpretation: for all I, J:I(t) = J(t) • Unique name assumption (UNA): different ground -term s, t evaluate to different values: for all I:ifstthenI(s) I(t) RTA+UNA justifies assumption that  contains all ground -termsand that every ground -terms evaluates to itself:  = HU() [* The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  10.  = HU() [* • = {h, p} *countably infinite and *Å HU() = ; * HU() h p r1 r2 ... res(h) res(p) 9x acc(x) 9y rej(y) - h and pare interpreted the same in every interpretation (rigid designators) • existentially quantified variables may be assigned different values in different interpretations (I1 vs. I2 ) • ( ! Skolemization requires flexible designators) - Other options: * = {}or* = {c} - Chosen option seems to be favourable also allows to model "named nullvalues" The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  11. First-Order Autoepistemic Logic - Semantics The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  12. First-Order Autoepistemic Logic – Examples (1)  = 9x P(x) Æ:L P(x) ("'Small' domains may not work") I1[x ! 0] I1[x ! 0] I3[x ! 1] I2[x ! 1] M1 M2 P(0) P(0) :P(1) P(0) P(1) :P(0) P(1) is not sound is epistemic model The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  13. First-Order Autoepistemic Logic – Examples (2)  = 9x P(x) ÆL P(x) ("Elements from * can be known"). Models: I1[x ! 1] I2[x ! 1] I1[x ! 0] I2[x ! 0] M2 M1 :P(0) P(1) P(0) :P(1) P(0) P(1) P(0) P(1) The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  14. First-Order Autoepistemic Logic – Examples (3)  = P(a) Æ8x L P(x) ("Herband Theorem does not hold") I1[x ! a] I1[x ! a] I1[x ! 0] M1 M2 P(a) P(a) P(0) P(a) P(0) is a model (* = ;) is not complete because of I = fP(a), :P(0)g The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  15. Calculus Given: BS-AEL formula  = 9x8y(x,y) Questions: (1) Does  have an epistemic model? If yes, compute some/all (2) Given ' Does ' hold in some/all epistemic models of  ? (undecidable even if ' is a non-modal Bernays-Schönfinkel Formula) Calculus for (1) - sound, complete and terminating for finite * (infinite case can be reduced to finite case with sufficiently large *) - uses calls to decision procedure for function-free clause sets (e.g. any instance-based method) - first step: transformation of  to clausal-like form The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  16. Skolemization causes Problems [Baader, Hollunder 95] D R a C • (1) implies (2) • But from (1) and (3), (4) does not follow • So, consequences depend from syntax! Possible Solution (not here) Apply rules to known objects only, those explicitly mentioned: The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  17. Transformation to Clausal-like Form (1) Input: BS-AEL formula  = 9x8y(x,y) Problem 1: Skolemization (with rigid Skolem constants) is not correct:9x P(x) Æ8y :L P(y)has an epistemic model P(c) Æ8y :L P(y)does not have an epistemic model Therefore convert only 8y(x,y)to clausal form Problem 2: Want to have L only in front of atoms Rationale: view L P(t)as atom L_P(t) But L does not distribute over Ç , nested L's Algorithm: See next slide Result: A conjunction of AEL-clauses equivalent to 8y(x,y), where an AEL-clause is an implication of the form 8y (B1Æ... Æ BmÆL Bm+1Æ ... ÆL Bn! H1Ç ... Ç HkÇL Hk+1Ç ... ÇL Hl ) where the B's and H's are atoms The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  18. Transformation to Clausal-like Form (2) Input: BS-AEL formula  = 9x8y(x,y) Output: equivalent formula 9x (8y1 C1(x,y1) Æ ... Æ8yj Cj(x,yj)) where each Ci is of the form B1Æ... Æ BmÆL Bm+1Æ ... ÆL Bn! H1Ç ... Ç HkÇL Hk+1Ç ... ÇL Hl Sketch: use standard algorithm for conversion to CNF augmented with rules: L in front of conjunction: L in front of disjunction: Nested occurences of L: L in front of negation: The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  19. L9y '(z,y) is Permissible Let  = 9x8y(x,y) Suppose (x,y) contains subformula L9y '(z,y) Eliminate it with this rule: Example instance: Finally move 8youtwards to extend 9x8y on the right The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  20. Model Existence Problem Given: -  and * (if * is finite then test below is effective) - -formula  = 9x (8y1 C1(x,y1) Æ ... Æ8yj Cj(x,yj)) in clausal-like form = 9xf C1(x,y1),...,Cj(x,yj) g =: 9xP(x) Algorithm: Guess known/unknown ground atoms and verify: Let * = [* be extended signature, giving names to * elements Guess knowns Kµ HB(*)and let unknowns U = HB(*)nK Let PK/U = f L A j A 2K g[ f:L A j A 2U g corresponding (unit) clauses If (1) for all A 2Kand for all d2* it holds PK/U[P(d)² A (2) for all A 2Uthere is ad2* such that PK/U[P(d)² A then (1) M = fIjthere is a d2* such that I²PK/U[P(d)g is an epistemic model of , and (2) K = f A 2 HB(*) jfor allI 2 M: I(A) = true g The converse also holds Classical BS problems The BS Fragment of FO AEL

  21.

  22. Conclusions • Decidability in presence of infinite domain *- decidability of fragment 8y(y) is known (Tableau Calculus, Niemelä 1988)- factor model of finitely many equivalence classes • Translation (of fragment) into logic programming framework • Goal: "efficient" operational treatment of BS-AEL, by exploiting known first-order techniques and provers (Darwin, DCTP) • BS-AEL not operationalized so far. Why? • Combination DL + AEL + rule language • Application areas: inferences on FrameNet, Semantic Web, Null Values in Databases Further Issues The BS Fragment of FO AEL
