• Abstract: Answer set programming (ASP) is a logic programming formalism used in various areas of artificial intelligence like combinatorial problem solving and knowledge representation and reasoning. It is known that enhancing ASP with function symbols makes basic reasoning problems highly undecidable. However, even in simple cases, state of the art reasoners, specifically those relying on a ground-and-solve approach, fail to produce a result. Therefore, we reconsider consistency as a basic reasoning problem for ASP. We show reductions that give an intuition for the high level of undecidability. These insights allow for a more fine-grained analysis where we characterize ASP programs as "frugal" and "non-proliferous". For such programs, we are not only able to semi-decide consistency but we also propose a grounding procedure that yields finite groundings on more ASP programs with the concept of "forbidden" facts.

  ASP is a powerful declarative programming paradigm commonly used for solving challenging search and optimization problems. As an approach to Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, ASP benefits from its simplicity, conciseness and rigorously defined semantics. My research is concerned with extending the theory and tools supporting the verification of ASP progams.

  We show how machine learning systems can perform logical extrapolation without overthinking problems. We propose a recall architecture that keeps an explicit copy of the problem instance in memory so that it cannot be forgotten. We also employ a progressive training routine that prevents the model from learning behaviors that are specific to number and instead pushes it to learn behaviors that can be repeated indefinitely.

  Answer-Set Programming (ASP) is a powerful and expressive knowledge representation paradigm with a significant number of applications in logic-based AI. Traditional ground-and-solve approach requires ASP programs to be grounded upfront and thus suffers from the so-called grounding bottleneck. As a remedy, lazy-grounding ASP solvers have been developed, but many state-of-the-art techniques for grounded ASP solving have not been available to them yet.
