Logics in Artificial Intelligence


Book Description

This book constitutes proceedings of the 18th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence, JELIA 2023, held in Dresden, Germany, in September 2023. The 41 full papers and 11 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 111 submissions. The accepted papers span a number of areas within Logics in AI, including: argumentation; belief revision; reasoning about actions, causality, and change; constraint satisfaction; description logics and ontological reasoning; non-classical logics; and logic programming (answer set programming).




A Proof Theory for Description Logics


Book Description

Description Logics (DLs) is a family of formalisms used to represent knowledge of a domain. They are equipped with a formal logic-based semantics. Knowledge representation systems based on description logics provide various inference capabilities that deduce implicit knowledge from the explicitly represented knowledge. A Proof Theory for Description Logics introduces Sequent Calculi and Natural Deduction for some DLs (ALC, ALCQ). Cut-elimination and Normalization are proved for the calculi. The author argues that such systems can improve the extraction of computational content from DLs proofs for explanation purposes.




Logics in Artificial Intelligence


Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on E-learning and Games, Edutainment 2010, held in Changchun, China, in August 2010. The book includes 3 invited talks, 26 regular papers, and 5 system descriptions.







Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs


Book Description

Recognising that clients presenting with problems related to substance misuse represent a significant portion of most social worker's caseloads, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the substance misuse problem and how it directly affects clients. Research suggests that each user seriously affects the lives of four to six other people. This compendium was produced in response to the growing concern of social workers about the limited material written solely for work with this population. It grew out of a 5-year faculty development grant sponsored by the US Department of Health and Human Services' Public Health Service and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.




Crisis Counseling for a Quality School Community


Book Description

This volume traces the modern critical and performance history of this play, one of Shakespeare's most-loved and most-performed comedies. The essay focus on such modern concerns as feminism, deconstruction, textual theory, and queer theory.




Legal Knowledge and Information Systems


Book Description

The 23rd edition of the JURIX conference was held in the United Kingdom from the 15th till the 17th of December and was hosted by the University of Liverpool. This year submissions came from 18 countries covering all five continents. These proceedings contain thirteen full and nine short papers that were selected for presentation. As usual they cover a wide range of topics. Many contributions deal with formal or computational models of legal reasoning: reasoning with legal principles, two-phase democratic deliberation, burdens and standards of proof, argumentation with value judgments, and tem.




Algorithmic Learning Theory


Book Description

Annotation This volume contains the papers that were presented at theThird Workshop onAlgorithmic Learning Theory, held in Tokyoin October 1992. In addition to 3invited papers, the volumecontains 19 papers accepted for presentation, selected from29 submitted extended abstracts. The ALT workshops have beenheld annually since 1990 and are organized and sponsored bythe Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence. The mainobjective of these workshops is to provide an open forum fordiscussions and exchanges of ideasbetween researchers fromvarious backgrounds in this emerging, interdisciplinaryfield of learning theory. The volume is organized into partson learning via query, neural networks, inductive inference, analogical reasoning, and approximate learning.
