Summary:Abstract: "Since linear resolution with clause ordering is not complete for consequence-finding, it has been used mainly for proof- finding. In this paper, we re-evaluate consequence-finding based on ordered-linear resolution. Firstly, consequence-finding is generalized to the problem in which only interesting clauses having a certain property (called characteristic clauses) should be found. Then, we show how adding a skip rule to ordered linear resolution makes it complete for consequence-finding in this general sense. The important feature of the proposed method is that it constructs such a subset of consequences directly without testing each generated clause for the required property
This feature is very effective for computing abduction and nonmonotonic reasoning.
