The language of epistemic specifications and epistemic logic programs extends disjunctive logic programs under the stable model semantics with modal constructs called subjective literals. Using subjective literals, it is possible to check…

Labeled examples (i.e., positive and negative examples) are an attractive medium for communicating complex concepts. They are useful for deriving concept expressions (such as in concept learning, interactive concept specification, and…

To appear in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP). Dynamic systems play a central role in fields such as planning, verification, and databases. Fragmented throughout these fields, we find a multitude of languages to formally…

This paper presents \tdl, a typed feature-based representation language and inference system. Type definitions in \tdl\ consist of type and feature constraints over the boolean connectives. \tdl\ supports open- and closed-world reasoning…

We describe the development of a logic for reasoning about specifications in the Edinburgh Logical Framework (LF). In this logic, typing judgments in LF serve as atomic formulas, and quantification is permitted over contexts and terms that…

One approach to explaining the hierarchical levels of understanding within a machine learning model is the symbolic method of inductive logic programming (ILP), which is data efficient and capable of learning first-order logic rules that…

We present a logic named L_{LF} whose intended use is to formalize properties of specifications developed in the dependently typed lambda calculus LF. The logic is parameterized by the LF signature that constitutes the specification. Atomic…

We consider the problem of synthesizing interpretable models that recognize the behaviour of an agent compared to other agents, on a whole set of similar planning tasks expressed in PDDL. Our approach consists in learning logical formulas,…

Bounded fitting is an attractive paradigm for learning logical formulas from labeled data examples that offers PAC-style generalization guarantees and can often be implemented leveraging SAT solvers. It has been successfully applied to…

Since its establishment, propositional dynamic logic (PDL) has been a subject of intensive academic research and frequent use in the industry. We have studied the complexity of some PDL problems and in this paper, we show results for some…

Differential dynamic logic (dL) is a formal framework for specifying and reasoning about hybrid systems, i.e., dynamical systems that exhibit both continuous and discrete behaviors. These kinds of systems arise in many safety- and…

This thesis develops a framework for formalizing reasoning about specifications of systems written in LF. This formalization centers around the development of a reasoning logic that can express the sorts of properties which arise in…

The performance of Large language models (LLMs) across a broad range of domains has been impressive but have been critiqued as not being able to reason about their process and conclusions derived. This is to explain the conclusions draw,…

In the search for knowledge graph embeddings that could capture ontological knowledge, geometric models of existential rules have been recently introduced. It has been shown that convex geometric regions capture the so-called quasi-chained…

For a class L of languages let PDL[L] be an extension of Propositional Dynamic Logic which allows programs to be in a language of L rather than just to be regular. If L contains a non-regular language, PDL[L] can express non-regular…

There has been a growing interest in explaining entailments over description logic (DL) knowledge bases. The existing explanation formalisms focus on justifications to explain true axioms, and abductive reasoning to explain missing axioms…

A central quest in explainable AI relates to understanding the decisions made by (learned) classifiers. There are three dimensions of this understanding that have been receiving significant attention in recent years. The first dimension…

Explanation is a key component for the adoption of reinforcement learning (RL) in many real-world decision-making problems. In the literature, the explanation is often provided by saliency attribution to the features of the RL agent's…

This thesis studies the model theoretic properties of the Description Logics (DLs) ALC, ALCI, ALCQ, as well as ALCO, ALCQO, ALCQIO and EL. TBoxes of ALC, ALCI and ALCQ are characterised as fragments of FO which are invariant under global…

Probabilistic Circuits (PCs) are deep generative models that support exact and efficient probabilistic inference. Yet in autoregressive language modeling, PCs still lag behind Transformer-based large language models (LLMs), suggesting an…
