Abstract

Charles S. Peirce’s abductive formulation ((Peirce, 1958, 5.189), reproduced on p.7), has been the point of departure of many recent studies on abductive reasoning in artificial intelligence, such as in logic programming (Kakas et al.,1992), knowledge acquisition (Kakas and Mancarella, 1994) and natural language processing (Hobbs et al.,1990).
