Dynamic Tractable Reasoning

Viac o knihe

The book explores the logical foundations of tractable reasoning, building on Marvin Minsky's influential work on frames. It addresses the largely unexamined intersection of frames and logic, proposing a new logic called frame logic to tackle the challenges of dynamic, inferential reasoning, a significant issue in cognitive science and AI. The author introduces a belief revision scheme that enhances tractability within frame logic, emphasizing the importance of modularity and presenting a logical variant of the massive modularity hypothesis in cognitive science.
