Abstract

Experience-based reasoning (EBR) is a paradigm used in almost every human activity as a part of human reasoning. However, EBR has not been seriously studied from a logical viewpoint. This paper will attempt to fill this gap by providing a unified logical approach to EBR. More specifically, this paper first examines EBR and inference rules. Then it proposes eight different rules of inference for EBR, which cover all possible EBRs from a logical viewpoint. These eight different rules of inference constitute the fundamentals for all EBR paradigms, and therefore will be the theoretical foundation for EBR. The proposed approach will facilitate research and development of EBR, human reasoning, and common sense reasoning.
