Abstract:

Logic is widely viewed as a calculus of truth and falsehood. However, over the last few decades, the role of logic in AI has been mostly as a calculus of events, which has been effectively and profoundly employed in tasks such as probabilistic reasoning, machine learning and explainable AI. In this talk, I will discuss some of the fundamental insights, techniques and tools that have emerged from this broader role of logic, and will provide concrete examples of how they enabled the development of state-of-the-art AI systems that transcend the traditional scope of logic.
