ASP SOLVING IN SHORT

The solving procedure starts from the ground program PThe first solver Smodels was a DPLL-like procedure (with a finalunfounded set check)The breakthrough come with Clasp which is based onconflict-driven clause learningIt starts as in DPLL, then it learns new clauses each time a failureis found

ASP SOLVING IN SHORT

The graph is not “written somewhere”; it can be (partially) discovered using the so-calledresolution rule, namely

(α ∨ X) ∧ (β ∨ ¬X) ↔ (α ∨ β)

[Exercise: prove the equivalence!]

In the example:

ω1︷ ︸︸ ︷(x1 ∨ x31 ∨ ¬x2)∧

ω2︷ ︸︸ ︷(x1 ∨ ¬x3)∧

ω3︷ ︸︸ ︷(x2 ∨ x3 ∨ x4)∧

ω4︷ ︸︸ ︷(¬x4 ∨ ¬x5)∧

ω5︷ ︸︸ ︷(x21 ∨ ¬x4 ∨ ¬x6)∧

ω6︷ ︸︸ ︷(x5 ∨ x6)

X6 : ω5 ∧ ω6 ↔ (X21 ∨ ¬X4 ∨ X5)

X5 : (x21 ∨ ¬X4 ∨ X5) ∧ ω4 ↔ (x21 ∨ ¬X4) One could stop here or continue:

X4 : (x21 ∨ ¬X4) ∧ ω3 ↔ (X21 ∨ X2 ∨ X3)

X3 : (X21 ∨ X2 ∨ X3) ∧ ω2 ↔ (X21 ∨ X1 ∨ X2)

X2 : (X21 ∨ X1 ∨ X2) ∧ ω1 ↔ (X21 ∨ X31 ∨ X1)(now we have the decision variable of this level or variables of higher levels: stop)

SMODELS: ABSTRACT VIEWUNFOUNDED SET (VAN GELDER ET AL. 1991)

A set of atoms U is an unfounded set for a program P w.r.t. aninterpretation M if for each rule r ∈ P such that head(r) ∈ U it holdsthat

M 6|= Body(r) OR(M |= Body(r) AND) Body+(r) ∩ U 6= ∅

For instance, consider

p :- q, not rq :- p, not s

and suppose M = {p,q}. Then U = {p,q} is an unfounded set.

INTRODUCTIONCOMMONSENSE REASONING

In commonsense reasoning we commonly (sometimes implicitly) usenormative statements of the kind:

A’s are normally B’s

that admit exceptions.

AGOSTINO DOVIER (CLPLAB) AUTOMATED REASONING UDINE, DECEMBER 7, 2018 17 / 22

INTRODUCTIONCOMMONSENSE REASONING

Suppose that a reasoning agent has the following knowledgeabout birds: birds typically fly and penguins are non flyingbirds. He also knows that Tweety is a bird. Suppose now thatthe agent is hired to build a cage for Tweety, and he leaves offthe roof on the grounds that he does not whether or nor Tweetycan fly. It would be reasonable for us to view this argument asinvalid and to refuse the agent’s product. This would be notthe case if Tweety could not fly for some reason (unknown tothe agent), and we refused to pay for the bird cage becausehad unnecessarily put a roof on it. [McCarthy, 1959]
