Abstract

In this paper we propose a neural-symbolic architecture to represent and reason with norms in multi-agent systems. On the one hand, the architecture contains a symbolic knowledge base to represent norms and on the other hand it contains a neural network to reason with norms. The interaction between the symbolic knowledge and the neural network is used to learn norms. We describe how to handle normative reasoning issues like contrary to duties, dilemmas and exceptions by using a priority-based ordering between the norms in a neural-symbolic architecture.
