About the research centre or Inria department
The Inria Saclay-Île-de-France Research Centre was established in 2008. It has developed as part of the Saclay site in partnership with Paris-Saclay University and with the Institut Polytechnique de Paris since 2021.
The centre has 39 project teams , 27 of which operate jointly with Paris-Saclay University and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Its activities occupy over 600 scientists and research and innovation support staff, including 54 different nationalities.
Context
Inria is the French national institute for research in computer science, control, and applied mathematics
promoting scientific excellence and technology transfer. The research topics of pour group are at the
intersection of mathematical biology, theoretical computer science and formal methods applied to
problems in biology.
Assignment
We recently introduced the Trap space semantics for Logic Programs.
One objective of this project is to generalize the trap space semantics
to disjunctive logic programs.
We also want to find efficient methods for computing ≤s-minimal
stable trap spaces (equivalently regular models) of a logic program.
Finally, we would like to explore more new results on relating the
recently introduced dependence graph and models of a logic program.
Main activities
For the generalization to disjunctive programs, the candidate will try
an approach similar to the existing generalizations of the stable model,
stable partial model, regular model, and stable class semantics.
To compute ≤s-minimal trap spaces, the intended approach is to make a
transformed program whose set of stable models corresponds to the set of
≤s-minimal stable trap spaces of the original program.
For the dependence graph, it is natural to explore the use of both
positive and negative cycles simultaneously, in order to obtain improved results.
Moreover, the conjecture that the upper bound for tight logic program is
also valid for generic logic programs will be explored.
Skills
Logic Programming and ASP knowledge are necessary.
