I present a logic programming approach based on the weak completions semantics to model
human reasoning tasks, and apply the approach to model the suppression task, the …

The belief bias effect is a phenomenon which occurs when we think that we judge an
argument based on our reasoning, but are actually influenced by our beliefs and prior …

The tendency to accept or reject arguments based on own beliefs or prior knowledge rather
than on the reasoning process is called the belief-bias effect. A psychological syllogistic …

We investigate the potential of logic programming (LP) to computationally model morality
aspects studied in philosophy and psychology. We do so by identifying three morality …

Meta-level abduction (MLA) has been proposed as a method to abduce missing laws in
completing proofs and explaining observations at the meta-level. Based on a simple logic of …

Abduction has been on the back burner in logic programming, as abduction can be too
difficult to implement, and costly to perform, in particular if abductive solutions are not tabled …

We present a new logic programming approach to contextual reasoning, based on the Weak
Completion Semantics (WCS), the latter of which has been successfully applied in the past …

The notion of unpredictability has been a central theme in both natural and social sciences.
In this article, we first provide a formal account of unpredictability based on abduction. An …

In everyday life, it seems that we prefer some explanations for an observation over others
because of our contextual background knowledge. Reiter already tried to specify a …

We construct a counterfactual statement when we reason conjecturally about an event which
did or did not occur in the past: If an event had occurred, what would have happened …
