Fokkens Jelle, Tjeerd2023-02-082023-02-082023https://hdl.handle.net/2077/74797The problem of optimising automated explanations for entailments in knowledge bases is tackled by modelling deductive reasoning processes using the cognitive architecture ACT-R. This results in the model SHARP which simulates the algorithm for deciding inconsistency of an ABox in the description logic 𝒜ℒℰ as executed by a human. More precisely, SHARP enables predicting the inference time of this task, which is assumed to reflect cognitive load of a human agent. With the inference time, two complexity measures on ABoxes are defined that should correlate with cognitive load by design.engCognitive ModellingDescription LogicModelling the logical mind - Using the cognitive architecture ACT-R to model human symbolic reasoning in the description logic 𝒜ℒℰText
