We have focused on Answer Set Programming (ASP), more specifically, answer set counting, exploring both exact and approximate methodologies. We developed an exact ASP counter, sharpASP, which utilizes a compact encoding for propositional…
ASP(Q) extends Answer Set Programming (ASP) with Quantifiers over answer sets. In this paper we focus on the class of ASP(Q) programs with two quantifiers and weak constraints, denoted as 2-ASP(Q)^w. 2-ASP(Q)^w is a practically relevant…
A plethora of approaches have been proposed for joint entity-relation (ER) extraction. Most of these methods largely depend on a large amount of manually annotated training data. However, manual data annotation is time consuming, labor…
We introduce a general abstract framework for database repairs, where the repair notions are defined using formal logic. We distinguish between integrity constraints and so-called query constraints. The former are used to model consistency…
The paper aims at the development of an apparatus for analysis and construction of near optimal solutions of singularly perturbed (SP) optimal controls problems (that is, problems of optimal control of SP systems) considered on the infinite…
Dealing with context dependent knowledge has led to different formalizations of the notion of context. Among them is the Contextualized Knowledge Repository (CKR) framework, which is rooted in description logics but links on the reasoning…
Answer-set programming (ASP) paradigm is a way of using logic to solve search problems. Given a search problem, to solve it one designs a theory in the logic so that models of this theory represent problem solutions. To compute a solution…
In Answer Set Programming (ASP), the user can define declaratively a problem and solve it with efficient solvers; practical applications of ASP are countless and several constraint problems have been successfully solved with ASP. On the…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches to problem-solving and decision-making are becoming more and more complex, leading to a decrease in the understandability of solutions. The European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a popular declarative reasoning and problem solving approach in symbolic AI. Its rule-based formalism makes it inherently attractive for explainable and interpretive reasoning, which is gaining importance…
Learning graphical causal structures from time series data presents significant challenges, especially when the measurement frequency does not match the causal timescale of the system. This often leads to a set of equally possible…
We study the problem of database repairs through a rule-based framework that we refer to as Delta Rules. Delta Rules are highly expressive and allow specifying complex, cross-relations repair logic associated with Denial Constraints, Causal…
Automated program repair (APR) attempts to generate correct patches and has drawn wide attention from both academia and industry in the past decades. However, APR is continuously struggling with the patch overfitting issue due to the weak…
We extend answer set semantics to deal with inconsistent programs (containing classical negation), by finding a ``best'' answer set. Within the context of inconsistent programs, it is natural to have a partial order on rules, representing a…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a popular logic programming paradigm that has been applied for solving a variety of complex problems. Among the most challenging real-world applications of ASP are two industrial problems defined by Siemens:…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) emerged in the late 1990ies as a paradigm for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. The attractiveness of ASP builds on an expressive high-level modeling language along with the availability of powerful…
We examine the practicality for a user of using Answer Set Programming (ASP) for representing logical formalisms. We choose as an example a formalism aiming at capturing causal explanations from causal information. We provide an…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) has emerged as a promising paradigm in knowledge representation and automated reasoning owing to its ability to model hard combinatorial problems from diverse domains in a natural way. Building on advances in…
A correspondence between database tuples as causes for query answers in databases and tuple-based repairs of inconsistent databases with respect to denial constraints has already been established. In this work, answer-set programs that…
We deal with a challenging scheduling problem on parallel machines with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates from a real-world application of semiconductor work-shop production. There, jobs can only be processed by dedicated…
