@conference{225, author = {Matthew Morris and Tala Ross and Tommie Meyer}, title = {Defeasible disjunctive datalog}, abstract = {Datalog is a declarative logic programming language that uses classical logical reasoning as its basic form of reasoning. Defeasible reasoning is a form of non-classical reasoning that is able to deal with exceptions to general assertions in a formal manner. The KLM approach to defeasible reasoning is an axiomatic approach based on the concept of plausible inference. Since Datalog uses classical reasoning, it is currently not able to handle defeasible implications and exceptions. We aim to extend the expressivity of Datalog by incorporating KLM-style defeasible reasoning into classical Datalog. We present a systematic approach to extending the KLM properties and a well-known form of defeasible entailment: Rational Closure. We conclude by exploring Datalog extensions of less conservative forms of defeasible entailment: Relevant and Lexicographic Closure.}, year = {2019}, journal = {Forum for Artificial Intelligence Research}, chapter = {208-219}, month = {03/12-06/12}, publisher = {CEUR}, isbn = {1613-0073}, url = {http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2540/FAIR2019_paper_38.pdf}, }
