Abstract

En 中文
Representing and reasoning with priorities are important in commonsense reasoning. This paper introduces a framework of prioritized logic programming (PLP), which has a mechanism of explicit representation of priority information in a program. When a program contains incomplete or indefinite information, PLP is useful for specifying preference to reduce non-determinism in logic programming. Moreover, PLP can realize various forms of commonsense reasoning in Al such as abduction, default reasoning, circumscription, and their prioritized variants. The proposed framework increases the expressive power of logic programming and exploits new applications in knowledge representation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
