seasonal online seminar series designed to promote interdisciplinary
cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical study
of normative concepts, normative language, and normative systems with
computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy,
organization theory, and law. We view the seminar series as an opportunity
to keep in touch with the DEON community and listen in or contribute to
presentations and informal discussions on ongoing work. Everyone who is
interested in this wonderful area and its questions is welcome.
We are happy to announce that our speaker for the DEON autumn seminar will
be
Marija Slavkovik
(University of Bergen)
Finding Common Ground for Incoherent Horn Expressions
Autonomous systems that operate in a shared environment with people need to
be able to follow the rules of the society they occupy. While laws are
unique for one society, different people and institutions may use different
rules to guide their conduct. We study the problem of reaching a common
ground among possibly incoherent rules of conduct. We formally define a
notion of common ground and discuss the main properties of this notion.
Then, we identify three sufficient conditions on the class of Horn
expressions for which common grounds are guaranteed to exist. We provide a
polynomial time algorithm that computes common grounds, under these
conditions. We also show that if any of the three conditions is removed
then common grounds for the resulting (larger) class may not exist.
Date and time: November 24, 2pm – 3:30pm CET
