Natural Language Presentation and Combination of Automatically Generated Proofs

  • Chapter
Book cover Frontiers of Combining Systems

Part of the book series: Applied Logic Series ((APLS,volume 3))

Abstract

The paper describes a generic tool that generates automatically natural language presentations of proofs from various automated and interactive deductive systems. Proofs from different sources are translated into a unified format and equipped with a block structure. These proofs can be easily combined. Several proof transformation procedures, based only on the analysis of structural aspects of the proofs, are available. The tool is part of the ILF system and of the ILF mail server.
