Murray %A E. Rosenthal %T An Application of $P sub 4$ Free Free Graphs in Theorem Proving %R TR85-8 %I State University of New York at Albany, Computer Science Department %K AI11 %X We describe the application of graphs that have no induced $P sub 4$ (4 vertex path) subgraphs to automatic theorem proving. The semantics of a propositional formula are expressed in terms of the maximal cliques in a $P sub 4$ free graph rather than by truth assignments. Arc sets of s-t paths in a series parallel network provide an equivalent formulation. We provide combinatorial foundations for Murray and Rosenthal's work on path resolution (e. g. TR84-1, TR 84-12 and TR 85-4) For any graph G, a c-block (resp d-block) is an induced subgraph H in G such that for all maximal cliques (resp maximal stable sets) C in G, C $int$ H is $PHI$ or is a maximal clique (resp. maximal stable set) in H. A full block is botha c-block and a d-block. Blocks are generalizations of substitution subgraphs which occur in Lovasz's work on perfect graphs. Theorem: If full block H is $P sub 4$-free then H must arise by substitution. Other properties in these blocks in arbitrary graphs and in $P sub 4$-free graphs are given. These constructs are instrumental in the development of several closely related inference rules collectively referred to as path resolution. Finally we show how semantics of $P sub 4$ graphs are generalized to blocking systems by Minty's painting lemma. This suggests possible generalization of path resolution to other combinatorial structures. %A M.

Legal concepts possess what is often termed "open-texture", that is, their definitions are subject to a continual process of construction and modification during the analysis of a contested case. We have developed a "prototype-plus-deformation" representation for the structure of such concepts, a representation which facilitates the formulation of several systematic methods of conceptual modification. We propose now to construct a cognitive model of the process of legal argument, using this representation. The research is aimed at developing explanations for the persuasiveness of certain strategies of legal argument, and at developing further the criteria of conceptual coherence, both task-specific and task-independent, which seem to constrain the space of plausible arguments. We emphasize not only the contributions of this research to Artificial Intelligence, but also the insights that may result for some of the fundamental issues in jurisprudence. %A N.S. Sridharan %T "A Flexible Structure for Knowledge" %R LRP-TR-14 %I Rutgers University Department of Computer Science %D 9/82 %K AA24 tax AI04 %X Concepts often dealt with in legal reasoning and argumentation are amorphous. For TAXMAN II, we have proposed in the past a Prototype and Deformation model for these amorphous concepts. In this model, a concept is represented as a structured space of exemplars, that is as a set of exemplars, structured by transformations and relationships among them. In this paper, the idea of representing a concept as a structured space of exemplars is extended; suggesting that all knowledge represented in a computer be organized as structured spaces and subspaces. Concepts are represented as spaces; concepts are also members of spaces. This duality is exploited to gain flexibility in the representation, that is, changes to the structure can be effected through computation. %A Donna Nagel %T "Concept Learning by Building and Applying Transformations Between Object Descriptions" %R LRP-TR-15 %I Rutgers University Department of Computer Science %D 6/83 %K AI04 analogy matching %X The Concept Learning presented here emphasizes the building of a transformation between an instance of a concept and another instance which is distinguished as a prototype of the concept. A recursive partial matcher is used to pinpoint components of structural object descriptions of the training instances for matching. Three procedures are described for inducing matches: building simple analogies, applying primitive transformations, and finding projections of the instances into domains of knowledge relevant to the concept being learned. This research is experimental in nature and directed at discovering flexible ways to define and represent concepts which are amorphous and open-textured. %A N.S. Sridharan %T "EVOLVING SYSTEMS OF KNOWLEDGE" %R LRP-TR-16 %I Rutgers University Department of Computer Science %D 3/84 %K AI01 %X The enterprise of developing knowledge-based systems, is currently witnessing great growth in popularity. The central unity of such programs is that they interpret knowledge that is explicitly encoded as @i[rules]. This paper is a statement of personal perspective by a researcher interested in fundamental issues in the symbolic representation and organization of knowledge. The discussion covers the nature of rules (Sec. 3), and methods of rule-handling (Sec. 4). The paper concludes with a discussion of how most concepts we use are open-textured and how they continually evolve with use (Sections 5,6,7). While rule-based programming comes with certain clear pay-offs, further fundamental advances in research is needed to extend the scope of tasks that can be adequately represented in this fashion. %A S.Kedar-Cabelli %T "Analogy with Purpose in Legal Reasoning from Precedents" %R LRP-TR-17 %I Rutgers University Department of Computer Science %D 6/84 %D 10/84 %K AA24 taxman tax AA04 %X One open problem in current artificial intelligence (AI) models of learning and reasoning by analogy is: which aspects of the analogous situations are relevant to the analogy, and which are irrelevant? It is currently recognized that analogy involves mapping some underlying causal network of relations between situations [Winston 82], [Gentner 83], [Burstein 83a], [Carbonell 83]. However, most current models of analogy provide the system with exactly the relevant relations, tailor-made to each analogy to be performed. As AI systems become more complex, we will have to provide them with the capability of automatically focusing on the relevant aspects of situations when reasoning analogically. These will have to be sifted from the large amount of information used to represent complex, real-world situations. .sp 1 In order to study these general issues, we are examining a particular case study of learning and reasoning by analogy: forming legal concepts by legal reasoning from precedents. This is studied within the TAXMAN II project, which is investigating legal reasoning using AI techniques [McCarty & Sridharan 82], [Nagel 83]. .sp 1 In this dissertation proposal, we will discuss the problem and a proposed solution. We examine legal reasoning from precedents within the context of current AI models of analogy. We then add a focusing capability. Current work on goal-directed learning [Mitchell 83a], [Mitchell & Keller 83], and explanation-based learning [Dejong 83] applies here: the explanation of how the precedent satisfies the intent of the law (i.e. its goals, or purposes) helps to automatically focus the reasoning on what is relevant. %A A. Yasuhara %A F. Hawrusik %A K.N. Venkataraman %T Computability on Binary Trees - An Extended Abstract %R CTA-TR-2 %I Rutgers University %D 8/80 %D 1/82 %X We propose an effective method of computation on finite binary trees that is analogous to the effective computation on the natural numbers determined by the partial recursive functions. Not surprisingly, the method is LISP-like. A finitely axiomatizable theory is given that is shown to be just strong enough to represent the class of functions computable by this method. Several natural subclasses; of this class of functions are delineated and they are shown to be different from one another. %A K.N. Venkataraman %T Sub Classes of Programs for Computing on Binary Trees %R CTA-TR-3 %I Rutgers University %D 3/81 %D 1/82 %K T01 %X Several sub-classes of the deterministic regular programs that compute on binary trees are defined and relations of inclusion and inequality among these classes in terms of functions computable (by these programs) are established. Certain properties of these classes of programs are studied. In particular the sets recognized by these programs are characterized in terms of the domain and range of these programs. Most of the results that appear in this paper can easily be extended to programs computing on other recursively defined data structures. %A K.N. Venkararaman %T Decidability of the Purely Existential Fragment of the Theory of Term Algebras %R CTA-TR-4 %D 10/81 %X This thesis is concerned with the question of the decidability and the complexity of the decision problem for certain fragments of the theory of free term algebras. .sp 1 The existential fragment of the theory of term algebras is shown to be decidable by presenting a non-deterministic algorithm which given a quantifier free formula P, constructs a solution for P if it has one and indicates failure if there are no solutions. A detailed proof of the correctness of the algorithm is given. It is shown that the decision problem is in NP by proving that if a quantifier-free formula P has a solution then there is one that can be represented as a dag in space at most cubic in the length of P. The decision problem is shown to be complete for NP by reducing 3-SAT to that problem. It is also shown that the @ @ @-[o] hierarchy over a term algebra corresponds to the polynomial time hierarchy. .sp 1 The proof of the fact that the introduction of the selector functions into the first order language does not increase the complexity of the existential fragment of the theory is indicated. Thus it is established that the existential fragment of the theory of list structures in the language of NIL, CONS, CAR, CDR, = , @u[<] is NP-complete. .sp 1 It is shown that the equivalence of PB[;@u{<}] straight line programs is decidable follows easily from the decidability of the existential fragment of the theory of list structures. .sp 1 It is also shown that for any quantifier free formula P (in the language of a term algebra) there is an algorithm which given a recursive set S of cardinal numbers @u{<} @ @ @-[o], can decide whether or not the number of solutions of P is in S. %A Smadar Kedar-Cabelli %T Purpose-Directed Analogy %R ML-TR-1 %I Rutgers University %D 7/85 %X Recent artificial intelligence models of analogical reasoning are based on mapping some underlying causal network of relations between analogous situations. However, causal relations relevant for the purpose of one analogy may be irrelevant for another. We describe here a technique which uses an explicit representation of the purpose of the analogy to automatically create the relevant causal network. We illustrate the technique with two case studies in which concepts of everyday artifacts are learned by analogy. %A T.M. Mitchell %A R.M. Keller %A S.T. Kedar-Cabelli %T Explanation-Based Generalization: A Unifying View %R ML-TR-2 %D 8/85 %X The problem of formulating general concepts from specific training examples has long been a major focus of machine learning research. While most previous research has focused on empirical methods for generalizing from a large number of training examples using no domain-specific knowledge, in the past few years new methods have been developed for applying domain-specific knowledge to formulate valid generalizations from single training examples. The characteristic common to these methods is that their ability to generalize from a single example follows from their ability to explain why the training example is a member of the concept being learned. This paper proposed a general, domain-independent mechanism, called EBG, that unifies previous approaches to explanation-based generalization. The EBG method is illustrated in the context of several example problems, and used to contrast several existing systems for explanation-based generalization. The perspective on explanation-based generalization afforded by this general method is also used to identify open research problems in this area. %A John Thomas %T A Method of Studying Natural Language Dialogue %R RC-5882 %I IBM Watson Research Center, User Interface Institute %D February 1976 %K AI02 %A John Thomas: %T Artificial Intelligence and Human Factors. %R RC-10823 %I IBM Watson Research Center, User Interface Institute %D November 1984 %K AI08 %A Carbonell, Jaime %T Derivational analogy: a theory of reconstructive problem solving and expertise acquisition. %R CMU-CS-85-115. %I Carnegie-Mellon University.

Shapiro %T Knowledge based parsing %R 213 %I SUNY Buffalo Computer Science %D May 1984 %K AI02 %X An extremely significant feature of any Natural Language (NL) is that it is its own meta-language. One can use a NL to talk about the NL itself. One can use a NL to tutor a non-native speaker, or other poor language user, in the use of the same NL. We have been exploring methods of knowledge representation and NL Understanding (NLU) which would allow an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to play the role of poor language user in this setting. The AI system would have to understand NL utterances about how the NL is used, and improve its NLU abilities according to this instruction. It would be an NLU system for which the domain being discusses in NL is the NL itself. %A J. J. Hull %A G. Krishnan %A P. W. Palumbo %A S. N.

Methods and algorithms for image preprocessing, character recognition, and contextual postprocessing are discussed and compared. The objective of this study is to provide a background in the state-of-the-art of this equipment as the first element in a search for techniques to significantly improve the capabilites of postal address recognition. %A W. J. Rapaport %T Belief representation and quasi-indicators %R 215 %I SUNY Buffalo Computer Science %D August 1984 %K AI02 %X This thesis is a study in knowledge'' representation, specifically, how to represent beliefs expressed by sentences containing quasi-indicators. An \fIindicator\fP is a personal or demonstrative pronoun or adverb used to make a strictly demonstrative reference. A \fIquasi-indicator\fP is an expression that occurs within an intentional context and that represents a use of an indicator by another speaker. E.g., if John says, I am rich,'' then if \fIwe\fP say, John believes that he himself is rich,'' our use of `he himself' is quasi-indexical. Quasi-indicators pose problems for natural-language question-answering systems, since they cannot be replaced by any co-referential noun phrases without changing the meaning of the embedding sentence. Therefore, the referent of the quasi-indicator must be represented in such a way that no ivnalid co-referential claims are entailed. %A W. J. Rapaport %T Searle's experiments with thought %R 216 %I SUNY Buffalo Computer Science %D November 1984 %X A critique of several recent objections to John Searle's Chinese Room argument against the possibility of strong AI is presented. The objections are found to miss the point, and a stronger argument against Searle is presented, based on a distinction between syntactic and semantic understanding. %A W. J. Rapaport %T Review of Lambert's \fIMeinong and the Principle of Independence\fP %R 217 %I SUNY Buffalo Computer Science %D November 1984 %K AI08 %X This is a critical study of Karel Lambert's \fIMeinong and the Principle of Independence.\fP Alexius Meinong was a turn-of-the-century philosopher and psychologist who played a role in the early development of analytic philosophy, phenomenology, and Gestalt psychology. His theory of objects has become of increasing relevance to intensionally-based semantics and, hence, ought to be of interest to AI researchers in the field of knowledge representation. Lambert's book explores the relevance of Meinong's theory to free logics. %A R. M. Bo\o'z\(hc'inovi\o'c\(aa' %T Recognition of off-line cursive handwriting: A case of multi-level machine perception %R 85-01 %I SUNY Buffalo Computer Science %D March 1985 %K AI06 %X Cursive script recognition by computer (CSR) is the problem of transforming language from the form of cursive human handwriting to one of digital text representation. Off-line CSR involves elements of computer vision at a low level of processing andk those of language perception and understanding at a higher level. The problem is approached in this work as a multi-level machine perception problem in which an image of a cursive script word is transformed through a hierarchy of representation levels. Four distinct levels are employed, based on descriptions that use pixels, chain codes, features and letters, before the final word level of representation is obtained. %A P. B.
