• Abstract: We present an approach towards the deep, pluralistic logical analysis of argumentative discourse that benefits from the application of state-of-the-art automated reasoning technology for classical higher-order logic. Thanks to its expressivity this logic can adopt the status of a uniform \textit{lingua franca} allowing the encoding of both formalized arguments (their deep logical structure) and dialectical interactions (their attack and support relations). We illustrate this by analyzing an excerpt from an argumentative debate on climate engineering. Another, novel contribution concerns the definition of abstract, language-theoretical foundations for the characterization and assessment of shallow semantical embeddings (SSEs) of non-classical logics in classical higher-order logic, which constitute a pillar stone of our approach. The novel perspective we draw enables more concise and more elegant characterizations of semantical embeddings of logics and logic combinations, which is demonstrated with several examples.

  This paper introduces a novel perspective on Logic programming (LP) by defining a support'' relation that explicates what a program knows'' Results are formalized using the idea of base-extension semantics within proof-theoretic semantics. Our approach offers new insights into the logical foundations of LP and has potential applications in knowledge representation, automated reasoning, and formal verification.

  We identify structural weaknesses of the state-of-the-art and propose a generic argumentation-based approach to address these problems. Our work provides dialogue models as dialectic-proof procedures to compute and explain a query answer. This allows us to construct dialectical proof trees as explanations, which are more expressive and arguably more intuitive than existing explanation formalisms.

  LOGICSEG is a holistic visual semantic that integrates neural inductive learning and logic reasoning with both rich data and symbolic knowledge. During fuzzy logic-based continuous relaxation, logical formulae are grounded onto data and neural computational graphs, hence enabling logic-induced network training. These designs together make LOGICSEG a general and compact neural-logic machine that is readily integrated into existing segmentation models.

Specifically, node-level and type-level relations, which can be interpreted as bridges in the reasoning process, are modeled by a hierarchical interaction mechanism.
