Abstract

In this paper, we present a new computational model for intulitionistic logic. We use an enserable of Connectionist Inductive Learning and Logic Programming (C-ILP) neural networks to represent intuitionistic clauses, and show that for each intuitionistic program there exists a corresponding C-ILP ensemble such that the ensemble computes the fixed point of the program. This provides a massively parallel model for intuitionistic reasoning. In addition, C-ILP ensembles can be trained to adapt from examples using standard neural networks learning algorithms.
