Approximation Schemes in Logic and Artificial Intelligence

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((TRS,volume 5390))

Abstract

Approximate reasoning is used in a variety of reasoning tasks in logic-based artificial intelligence. In this paper we present several such reasoning schemes and show how they relate and differ from the approach of Pawlak’s Rough Sets.
