Machine Learning Guidance for Connection Tableaux

Abstract

AbstractConnection calculi allow for very compact implementations of goal-directed proof search. We give an overview of our work related to connection tableaux calculi: first, we show optimised functional implementations of connection tableaux proof search, including a consistent Skolemisation procedure for machine learning. Then, we show two guidance methods based on machine learning, namely reordering of proof steps with Naive Bayesian probabilities, and expansion of a proof search tree with Monte Carlo Tree Search.
