In this paper, we explore the use of Linear logicprogramming for story generation. We use the language Celf to represent narrative knowledge, and its own querying mechanism to generate story instances, through a number of proof terms. Each proof term obtained is used, through a resource-flow analysis, to build a directed graph where nodes are narrative actions and edges represent inferred causality relationships. Such graphs represent narrative plots structured by narrative causality. this approach is a candidate technique for narrative generation which unifies declarative representations and generation via query and deduction mechanisms.

Answer set programming (ASP) is a declarative programming paradigm stemming from logicprogrammingthat has been successfully applied in various domains. Despite amazing advancements in ASP solving, many applications still pose a challenge that is commonly referred to as grounding bottleneck. Devising, implementing, and evaluating a method that alleviates this problem for certain application domains is the focus of this paper. the proposed method is based on combining backtracking-based search algorithms employed in answer set solvers with SLDNF resolution from PROLOG. Using PROLOG inference on non-ground portions of a given program, both grounding time and the size of the ground program can be substantially reduced.

there are many different notions of "rule" in the literature. A key feature and main intuition of any such notion is that rules can be "applied" to derive conclusions from certain premises. More formally, a rule is viewed as a function that, when invoked on a set of known facts, can produce new facts. In this paper, we show that this extreme simplification is still sufficient to obtain a number of useful results in concrete cases. We define abstract rules as a certain kind of functions, provide them with a semantics in terms of (abstract) stable models, and explain how concrete normal logicprogramming rules can be viewed as abstract rules in a variety of ways. We further analyse dependencies between abstract rules to recognise classes of logic programs for which stable models are guaranteed to be unique.

Brewka and Eiter's nonmonotonic multi-context system is an elegant knowledge representation framework to model heterogeneous and nonmonotonic multiple contexts. Belief change is a central problem in knowledge representation and reasoning. In this paper we follow the classical AGM approach to investigate belief change in multi-context systems. Specifically, we formulate semantically the AGM postulates of belief expansion, revision and contraction for multi-context systems. We show that the change operations can be characterized in terms of minimal change by ordering equilibria of multi-context systems. Two distance based revision operators are obtained and related to the classical Satoh and Dalal revision operators (via loop formulas).

Precise knowledge of the longest sensitizable paths in a circuit is crucial for various tasks in computer-aided design, including timing analysis, performance optimization, delay testing, and speed binning. As delays in today's nanoscale technologies are increasingly affected by statistical parameter variations, there is significant interest in obtaining sets of paths that are within a length range. For instance, such path sets can be used in the emerging areas of Post-silicon validation and characterization and Adaptive Test. We present an ASP-based method for computing well-defined sets of sensitizable paths within a length range. Unlike previous approaches, the method is accurate and does not rely on a priori relaxations. Experimental results demonstrate the applicability and scalability of our method.

We address the problem of belief revision of logic programs (LPs), i.e., how to incorporate to a LP P a new LP Q. Based on the structure of SE interpretations, Delgrande et al. (2008. Proc. of the 11thinternationalconference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and reasoning (KR'08), 411-421;2013b. Proc. of the 12th international conference on logic programming and nonmonotonic reasoning (lpnmr'13), 264-276) adapted the well-known AGM framework (Alchourron et al. 1985. Journal of Symbolic logic 50, 2, 510-530) to LP revision. they identified the rational behavior of LP revision and introduced some specific operators. In this paper, a constructive characterization of all rational LP revision operators is given in terms of orderings over propositional interpretations with some further conditions specific to SE interpretations. It provides an intuitive, complete procedure for the construction of all rational LP revision operators and makes easier the comprehension of their semantic and computational properties. We give a particular consideration to LPs of very general form, i.e., the generalized logic programs (GLPs). We show that every rational GLP revision operator is derived from a propositional revision operator satisfying the original AGM postulates. Interestingly, the further conditions specific to GLP revision are independent from the propositional revision operator on which a GLP revision operator is based. Taking advantage of our characterization result, we embed the GLP revision operators into structures of Boolean lattices, that allow us to bring to light some potential weaknesses in the adapted AGM postulates. To illustrate our claim, we introduce and characterize axiomatically two specific classes of (rational) GLP revision operators which arguably have a drastic behavior. We additionally consider two more restricted forms of LPs, i.e., the disjunctive logic programs (DLPs) and the normal logic programs (NLPs) and adapt our characterization result t

acthex programs are a convenient tool for connecting stateful external environments to logic programs. In the acthex framework, actual actions on an external environment can be declaratively selected, rearranged, scheduled and then executed depending on intelligence specified in an ASP-based language. We report in this paper about recent improvements of the formal and of the operational acthex programming framework. Besides yielding a significant increase in versatility of the framework, we also present illustrative application showcases and a short evaluation thereof exhibiting computational acthex strengths.

In this paper we study the relation between the two main extensions of Answer Set programming with temporal modal operators: Temporal Equilibrium logic (TEL) and Temporal Answer Sets (TAS). On the one hand, TEL is a complete non-monotonic logicthat results from the combination of Linear-time Temporal logic (LTL) with Equilibrium logic. On the other hand, TAS is based on a richer modal approach, Dynamic LTL (DLTL), whereas its non-monotonic part relies on a reduct-based definition for a particular limited syntax. To integrate both approaches, we propose a Dynamic Linear-time extension of Equilibrium logic (DTEL) that allows accommodating both TEL and TAS as particular cases. With respect to TEL, DTEL incorporates more expressiveness thanks to the addition of dynamic logic operators, whereas with respect to TAS, DTEL provides a complete non-monotonic semantics applicable to arbitrary theories. In the paper, we identify cases in which both formalisms coincide and explain how this relation can be exploited for adapting existing TEL and TAS computation methods to the general case of DTEL.

Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) is a grammar formalism used for natural language parsing. CCG assigns structured lexical categories to words and uses a small set of combinatory rules to combine these categories in order to parse sentences. In this work we describe and implement a new approach to CCG parsing that relies on Answer Set programming (ASP) - a declarative programming paradigm. Different from previous work, we present an encoding that is inspired by the algorithm due to Cocke, Younger, and Kasami (CYK). We also show encoding extensions for parse tree normalization and best-effort parsing and outline possible future extensions which are possible due to the usage of ASP as computational mechanism. We analyze performance of our approach on a part of the Brown corpus and discuss lessons learned during experiments withthe ASP tools dlv, gringo, and clasp. the new approach is available in the open source CCG parsing toolkit AspCcgTk which uses the C&C supertagger as a preprocessor to achieve wide-coverage natural language parsing.

In recent years, Answer Set programming (ASP), logicprogramming under the stable model or answer set semantics, has seen several extensions by generalizing the notion of an atom in these programs: be it aggregate atoms, HEX atoms, generalized quantifiers, or abstract constraints, the idea is to have more complicated satisfaction patterns in the lattice of Herbrand interpretations than traditional, simple atoms. In this paper we refer to any of these constructs as generalized atoms. It is known that programs with generalized atoms that have monotonic or antimonotonic satisfaction patterns do not increase complexity with respect to programs with simple atoms (if satisfaction of the generalized atoms can be decided in polynomial time) under most semantics. It is also known that generalized atoms that are nonmonotonic (being neither monotonic nor antimonotonic) can, but need not, increase the complexity by one level in the polynomial hierarchy if non-disjunctive programs under the FLP semantics are considered. In this paper we provide the precise boundary of this complexity gap: programs with convex generalized atom never increase complexity, while allowing a single non-convex generalized atom (under reasonable conditions) always does. We also discuss several implications of this result in practice.
