Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #logicalreasoning, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @vaishakbelle the purpose of #logicalreasoning is not to model the thought processes in our mind, but to define reasoning which is sound. Logic has complex rules, but a simple semantics. This semantics works well for mathematical, philosophical, and legal problems, but not for #commonsense reasoning. AI research discovered these issues in the 1970ies, but no simple solution has been found. And #deeplearning does not solve them either since #soundness does not matter in this field.

  6. A freely accessible book as instructive as "The art of being right" by Arthur Schopenhauer and as delightful as "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame:
