Conditional Syntax Splitting for Non-monotonic Inference Operators

AAAI 2023technical

Syntax splitting is a property of inductive inference operators that ensures we can restrict our attention to parts of the conditional belief base that share atoms with a given query. To apply syntax splitting, a conditional belief base needs to consist of syntactically disjoint conditionals. This r…

Lexicographic Entailment, Syntax Splitting and the Drowning Problem

IJCAI 2022poster

Lexicographic inference is a well-known and popular approach to reasoning with non-monotonic conditionals. It is a logic of very high-quality, as it extends rational closure and avoids the so-called drowning problem. It seems, however, this high quality comes at a cost, as reasoning on the basis of…
