Abstract

We present the software system QASP which integrates Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Answer Set Programming (ASP). Our framework allows for the ASP-based representation, computation and constraining of states and actions (and other events), and for the use of AnsProlog for the specification of action- and event-calculi and background knowledge for RL.
