Towards a Proof Theory of G\"odel Modal Logics
Analytic proof calculi are introduced for box and diamond fragments of basic
modal fuzzy logics that combine the Kripke semantics of modal logic K with the
many-valued semantics of G\"odel logic. The calculi are used to establish
completeness and complexity results for these fragments
Dual Logic Concepts based on Mathematical Morphology in Stratified Institutions: Applications to Spatial Reasoning
Several logical operators are defined as dual pairs, in different types of
logics. Such dual pairs of operators also occur in other algebraic theories,
such as mathematical morphology. Based on this observation, this paper proposes
to define, at the abstract level of institutions, a pair of abstract dual and
logical operators as morphological erosion and dilation. Standard quantifiers
and modalities are then derived from these two abstract logical operators.
These operators are studied both on sets of states and sets of models. To cope
with the lack of explicit set of states in institutions, the proposed abstract
logical dual operators are defined in an extension of institutions, the
stratified institutions, which take into account the notion of open sentences,
the satisfaction of which is parametrized by sets of states. A hint on the
potential interest of the proposed framework for spatial reasoning is also
provided.Comment: 36 page
Toward a probability theory for product logic: states, integral representation and reasoning
The aim of this paper is to extend probability theory from the classical to
the product t-norm fuzzy logic setting. More precisely, we axiomatize a
generalized notion of finitely additive probability for product logic formulas,
called state, and show that every state is the Lebesgue integral with respect
to a unique regular Borel probability measure. Furthermore, the relation
between states and measures is shown to be one-one. In addition, we study
geometrical properties of the convex set of states and show that extremal
states, i.e., the extremal points of the state space, are the same as the
truth-value assignments of the logic. Finally, we axiomatize a two-tiered modal
logic for probabilistic reasoning on product logic events and prove soundness
and completeness with respect to probabilistic spaces, where the algebra is a
free product algebra and the measure is a state in the above sense.Comment: 27 pages, 1 figur

Neurons and symbols: a manifesto
We discuss the purpose of neural-symbolic integration including its principles, mechanisms and applications. We outline a cognitive computational model for neural-symbolic integration, position the model in the broader context of multi-agent systems, machine learning and automated reasoning, and list some of the challenges for the area of
neural-symbolic computation to achieve the promise of effective integration of robust learning and expressive reasoning under uncertainty
