Extension pondérée des logiques modales dans le cadre des croyances graduelles / Modal logic weighted extensions for a graded belief framework

Legastelois, Bénédicte 30 November 2017 (has links)
Dans le domaine de la modélisation du raisonnement, plusieurs approches se basent sur les logiques modales qui permettent de formaliser le raisonnement sur des éléments non factuels, comme la croyance, le savoir ou encore la nécessité. Une extension pondérées de ces logiques modales permet de moduler les éléments non factuels qu'elle décrit. En particulier, nous nous intéressons à l'extension pondérée des logiques modales qui permet de formaliser des croyances graduelles : nous traitons des aspects sémantiques et axiomatiques ainsi que des aspects syntaxiques liés à la manipulations de telles croyances modulées. Ainsi, les travaux de cette thèse sont organisés en trois parties. Nous proposons, d'une part, une sémantique proportionnelle qui étend la sémantique de Kripke classiquement utilisée pour les logiques modales ; ainsi qu'une étude des axiomes modaux dans le contexte de cette sémantique des modalités pondérées. D'autre part, nous proposons un modèle ensembliste flou pour représenter et manipuler des degrés de croyances. Enfin, nous mettons en œuvre ces modèles théoriques dans deux applications : un outil de vérification de formules modales pondérées et un joueur artificiel pour le jeu coopératif Hanabi dont la prise de décision repose sur un raisonnement sur ses propres croyances. / In the field of reasoning models, many approaches are based on modal logics, which allow to formalise the non-factual reasoning, as belief, knowledge or necessity reasoning. A weighted extension for these modal logics aims at modulating the considered non-factual elements. In particular, we examine the weighted extension of modal logics for graded beliefs: we study their semantical and axiomatical issues related to manipulating such modulated beliefs. Therefore, this thesis works are organised in three parts. We first propose a proportional semantics which extends the Kripke semantics, classically used for modal logics. We also study modal axioms regarding the proposed semantics. Then, we propose a fuzzy set model for representing and manipulating belief degrees. We finally use these two formal models in two different applications: a model checking tool for weighted modal formulae and an artifical player for a cooperative game called Hanabi in which decision making is based on graded belief reasoning.

The Dynamics of Incomplete and Inconsistent Information : Applications of logic, algebra and coalgebra / La dynamique de l'information incomplète et incohérente : applications de la logique, de l'algèbre et de la coalgèbre

Bakhtiarinoodeh, Zeinab 05 December 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse est structurée autour de deux axes d’études : (1) développer des logiques épistémiques formalisant la prise en compte de nouvelles données en présence d'informations incomplètes ou incohérentes ; (2) caractériser les notions de bisimulation sur les modèles de ces nouvelles logiques. Les logiques modales utilisées pour formaliser des raisonnements dans le cadre d’informations incomplètes et incohérentes, telle que la logique modale de contingence, sont généralement plus faibles que les logiques modales standards. Nos travaux se basent sur des méthodes logiques, algébriques et co-algébriques / In this Ph.D. dissertation we investigate reasoning about information change in the presence of incomplete or inconsistent information, and the characterisation of notions of bisimulation on models encoding such reasoning patterns. Modal logics for incomplete and inconsistent information are typically weaker than the standard modal logics, such as the modal logic of contingency. We use logical, algebraic and co-algebraic methods to achieve our aims. The dissertation consists of two main parts. The first part focusses on reasoning about information change, and the second part focusses on expressivity and bisimulation. In the following, we give an overview of the contents of this dissertation

Modal satisifiability in a constraint logic environment

Stevenson, Lynette 30 November 2007 (has links)
The modal satisfiability problem has to date been solved using either a specifically designed algorithm, or by translating the modal logic formula into a different class of problem, such as a first-order logic, a propositional satisfiability problem or a constraint satisfaction problem. These approaches and the solvers developed to support them are surveyed and a synthesis thereof is presented. The translation of a modal K formula into a constraint satisfaction problem, as developed by Brand et al. [18], is further enhanced. The modal formula, which must be in conjunctive normal form, is translated into layered propositional formulae. Each of these layers is translated into a constraint satisfaction problem and solved using the constraint solver ECLiPSe. I extend this translation to deal with reflexive and transitive accessibility relations, thereby providing for the modal logics KT and S4. Two of the difficulties that arise when these accessibility relations are added are that the resultant formula increases considerably in complexity, and that it is no longer in conjunctive normal form (CNF). I eliminate the need for the conversion of the formula to CNF and deal instead with formulae that are in negation normal form (NNF). I apply a number of enhancements to the formula at each modal layer before it is translated into a constraint satisfaction problem. These include extensive simplification, the assignment of a single value to propositional variables that occur only positively or only negatively, and caching the status of the formula at each node of the search tree. All of these significantly prune the search space. The final results I achieve compare favorably with those obtained by other solvers. / Computing / M.Sc. (Computer Science)
