Simplifying Step-Wise Explanation Sequences

Authors: Ignace Bleukx, Jo Devriendt, Emilio Gamba, Bart Bogaerts, and Tias Guns

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 280, 29th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2023)


Abstract
Explaining constraint programs is useful for debugging an unsatisfiable program, to understand why a given solution is optimal, or to understand how to find a unique solution. A recently proposed framework for explaining constraint programs works well to explain the unique solution to a problem step by step. It can also be used to step-wise explain why a model is unsatisfiable, but this may create redundant steps and introduce superfluous information into the explanation sequence. This paper proposes methods to simplify a (step-wise) explanation sequence, to generate simple steps that together form a short, interpretable sequence. We propose an algorithm to greedily construct an initial sequence and two filtering algorithms that eliminate redundant steps and unnecessarily complex parts of explanation sequences. Experiments on diverse benchmark instances show that our techniques can significantly simplify step-wise explanation sequences.

Certified CNF Translations for Pseudo-Boolean Solving

Authors: Stephan Gocht, Ruben Martins, Jakob Nordström, and Andy Oertel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 236, 25th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2022)


Abstract
The dramatic improvements in Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving since the turn of the millennium have made it possible to leverage state-of-the-art conflict-driven clause learning (CDCL) solvers for many combinatorial problems in academia and industry, and the use of proof logging has played a crucial role in increasing the confidence that the results these solvers produce are correct. However, the fact that SAT proof logging is performed in conjunctive normal form (CNF) clausal format means that it has not been possible to extend guarantees of correctness to the use of SAT solvers for more expressive combinatorial paradigms, where the first step is an unverified translation of the input to CNF. In this work, we show how cutting-planes-based reasoning can provide proof logging for solvers that translate pseudo-Boolean (a.k.a. 0-1 integer linear) decision problems to CNF and then run CDCL. To support a wide range of encodings, we provide a uniform and easily extensible framework for proof logging of CNF translations. We are hopeful that this is just a first step towards providing a unified proof logging approach that will also extend to maximum satisfiability (MaxSAT) solving and pseudo-Boolean optimization in general.

Expressiveness of SHACL Features

Authors: Bart Bogaerts, Maxime Jakubowski, and Jan Van den Bussche

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 220, 25th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2022)


Abstract
SHACL is a W3C-proposed schema language for expressing structural constraints on RDF graphs. Recent work on formalizing this language has revealed a striking relationship to description logics. SHACL expressions can use four fundamental features that are not so common in description logics. These features are zero-or-one path expressions; equality tests; disjointness tests; and closure constraints. Moreover, SHACL is peculiar in allowing only a restricted form of expressions (so-called targets) on the left-hand side of inclusion constraints. The goal of this paper is to obtain a clear picture of the impact and expressiveness of these features and restrictions. We show that each of the four features is primitive: using the feature, one can express boolean queries that are not expressible without using the feature. We also show that the restriction that SHACL imposes on allowed targets is inessential, as long as closure constraints are not used.

Input-Output Disjointness for Forward Expressions in the Logic of Information Flows

Authors: Heba Aamer and Jan Van den Bussche

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 186, 24th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2021)


Abstract
Last year we introduced the logic FLIF (forward logic of information flows) as a declarative language for specifying complex compositions of information sources with limited access patterns. The key insight of this approach is to view a system of information sources as a graph, where the nodes are valuations of variables, so that accesses to information sources can be modeled as edges in the graph. This allows the use of XPath-like navigational graph query languages. Indeed, a well-behaved fragment of FLIF, called io-disjoint FLIF, was shown to be equivalent to the executable fragment of first-order logic. It remained open, however, how io-disjoint FLIF compares to general FLIF . In this paper we close this gap by showing that general FLIF expressions can always be put into io-disjoint form.

Executable First-Order Queries in the Logic of Information Flows

Authors: Heba Aamer, Bart Bogaerts, Dimitri Surinx, Eugenia Ternovska, and Jan Van den Bussche

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 155, 23rd International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2020)


Abstract
The logic of information flows (LIF) has recently been proposed as a general framework in the field of knowledge representation. In this framework, tasks of a procedural nature can still be modeled in a declarative, logic-based fashion. In this paper, we focus on the task of query processing under limited access patterns, a well-studied problem in the database literature. We show that LIF is well-suited for modeling this task. Toward this goal, we introduce a variant of LIF called "forward" LIF, in a first-order setting. We define FLIF^io, a syntactical fragment of forward LIF, and show that it corresponds exactly to the "executable" fragment of first-order logic defined by Nash and Ludäscher. The definition of FLIF^io involves a classification of the free variables of an expression into "input" and "output" variables. Our result hinges on inertia and determinacy laws for forward LIF expressions, which are interesting in their own right. These laws are formulated in terms of the input and output variables.

A Compositional Typed Higher-Order Logic with Definitions

Authors: Ingmar Dasseville, Matthias van der Hallen, Bart Bogaerts, Gerda Janssens, and Marc Denecker

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 52, Technical Communications of the 32nd International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2016)


Abstract
Expressive KR languages are built by integrating different language constructs, or extending a language with new language constructs. This process is difficult if non-truth-functional or non-monotonic constructs are involved. What is needed is a compositional principle. This paper presents a compositional principle for defining logics by modular composition of logical constructs, and applies it to build a higher order logic integrating typed lambda calculus and rule sets under a well-founded or stable semantics. Logical constructs are formalized as triples of a syntactical rule, a semantical rule, and a typing rule. The paper describes how syntax, typing and semantics of the logic are composed from the set of its language constructs. The base semantical concept is the infon: mappings from structures to values in these structures. Semantical operators of language constructs operate on infons and allow to construct the infons of compound expressions from the infons of its subexpressions. This conforms to Frege's principle of compositionality.

Modeling Machine Learning and Data Mining Problems with FO(·)

Authors: Hendrik Blockeel, Bart Bogaerts, Maurice Bruynooghe, Broes De Cat, Stef De Pooter, Marc Denecker, Anthony Labarre, Jan Ramon, and Sicco Verwer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 17, Technical Communications of the 28th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'12) (2012)


Abstract
This paper reports on the use of the FO(·) language and the IDP framework for modeling and solving some machine learning and data mining tasks. The core component of a model in the IDP framework is an FO(·) theory consisting of formulas in first order logic and definitions; the latter are basically logic programs where clause bodies can have arbitrary first order formulas. Hence, it is a small step for a well-versed computer scientist to start modeling. We describe some models resulting from the collaboration between IDP experts and domain experts solving machine learning and data mining tasks. A first task is in the domain of stemmatology, a domain of philology concerned with the relationship between surviving variant versions of text. A second task is about a somewhat similar problem within biology where phylogenetic trees are used to represent the evolution of species. A third and final task is about learning a minimal automaton consistent with a given set of strings. For each task, we introduce the problem, present the IDP code and report on some experiments.
