Abstract

A neural approach to propositional multi-adjoint logic programming was recently introduced. In this paper we extend the neural approach to multiadjoint deduction and, furthermore, modify it to cope with abductive multi-adjoint reasoning, where adaptations of the uncertainty factor in a knowledge base are carried out automatically so that a number of given observations can be adequately explained.
