DARe-16: International Workshop on Defeasible and Ampliative Reasoning
The International Workshop on Defeasible and Ampliative Reasoning (DARe), held in conjunction with IJCAI 2015 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, philosophy and related disciplines to discuss the defeasible and ampliative aspects of reasoning in a multi-disciplinary forum.
There are expressions of human cognition for which the development of logical formalisations is desi rable but particularly problematic, since classical reasoning cannot be straightforwardly applied. Some typical examples are reasoning with uncertainty, exceptions, similarity, vagueness, incomplete or contradictory information and many others. They often show two strongly intertwined aspects:
The goal of DARe is to present latest research developments on the aforementioned aspects of reasoning, to discuss current directions in the field, and to collect first-hand feedback from the community. Among the foreseen outcomes is the emergence of a framework to relate canonical problems, tools and applications, filling an important gap in the convergence of logical, statistical and probabilistic approaches to defeasibility and ampliativeness in reasoning, as well as to get a better understanding of how
