New ASP Framework Integrates Fuzzy Logic for Qualitative Reasoning

This paper introduces a novel fuzzy-logic-based extension to Answer Set Programming (ASP) designed to handle qualitative reasoning with vague linguistic labels. The proposed framework integrates numerical data, such as outputs from machine learning models, with symbolic reasoning over qualitative concepts. Key features include learning-based membership functions and semantically enriched predicates, allowing for a unified declarative approach that combines expert knowledge, contextual factors, and subjective interpretations.

    Applying Answer Set Programming with Fuzzy Membership Functions: a Case Study

    arXiv:2607.03550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human reasoning often operates through qualitative concepts expressed by linguistic labels such as high, low, expensive, or cheap, whose interpretation depends on context and is usually vague, despite being rooted in numerical data.…
