Abstract:
We propose an extension of the heterogeneous multi-context reasoning framework by G. Brewka and T. Eiter, which, in addition to logical contexts of reasoning, also incorporates sub-symbolic contexts of reasoning. The
main findings of the paper are a simple extension of the concept of bridge rules to the sub-symbolic case and the concept of bridge rule models that allows for a straightforward enumeration of all equilibria of multi-context systems. We illustrate our approach with two examples from the fields of text and image classification.
