New Hybrid MKNF Knowledge Base Extends Logic Programming with Classical Negation

Researchers have developed an extension to Hybrid MKNF knowledge bases that incorporates classical negation into the rule component. This advancement addresses a key limitation of existing systems, which previously could not represent explicit negative knowledge, a crucial aspect for safety-critical applications. The new framework formally defines its syntax and semantics, and includes a procedure for computing its well-founded model. AI

    Hybrid MKNF with Classical Negation in the Rule Component

    arXiv:2607.21202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hybrid MKNF knowledge bases under the well-founded semantics integrate Description Logics with Logic Programming. However, they do not support classical negation in the rule component, limiting their ability to represent explicit …
