A solver for Epistemic Logic Programs.
eclingo is a solver for epistemic logic programs [1] built upon the ASP system clingo.
Currently, eclingo can compute world views under the following semantics:
- Gelfond 1991; Gelfond and Przymusinska 1993; Gelfond 1994 (G94) [2, 3, 4]
python 3.9clingo 5.5Python module.
Install the correct version of python and clingo:
conda create --name eclingo python=3.9
conda activate eclingo
conda install -c potassco clingo=5.5
For installation in development mode go to the contributing section below.
Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/potassco/eclingo.git &&
cd eclingo/ &&
git checkout develop
Change your directory and install eclingo:
pip install .
eclingo's syntax considers three types of statements:
eclingo accepts rules with the same structure as clingo does. Additionally, eclingo allows these rules to include subjective literals in their body. These subjective literals are represented using the modal operator K, which is represented as &k{}. The expression inside the curly braces can be an explicit literal (that is, an atom A or its explicit negation -A) possibly preceded by default negation, that is represented not (alternatively default negation can be represented as ~ for backward compatibility).
Modal operator M is not directly supported but
M qcan be replaced by the constructionnot &k{ not q }.
For example, the epistemic logic program:
p <- M q.
is written under eclingo's syntax as:
p :- not &k{ not q }.
Show statements follow clingo's syntax but, in eclingo, they refer to subjective atoms.
For example, the show statement:
#show p/1.
refers to the subjective atom &k{p/1}.
Install clingo using conda as explained above.
Clone this repo (or make your own fork of https://github.com/potassco/eclingo.git):
git clone git@github.com:jorgefandinno/eclingo.git &&
cd eclingo &&
git checkout develop
Unistall eclingo if you have already installed it
pip uninstall eclingo
Install eclingo in development model and reactivate conda
pip install -e .[dev] &&
conda deactivate &&
conda activate eclingo
Test your installation
python -m pip install nox
noxNote that nox -r can be used to speed up subsequent runs. It avoids
recreating virtual environments.
To contribute create a new branch
git checkout -b <your_name>/<branch>
where <your_name> is to be replaced by your name and <branch> should be the name of the branch you are creating.
Once you have made the contributions, test that everythink works correctly. We auto format code using black. We provide a pre-commit config to automate this process. It can be set up using the following commands:
python -m pip install pre-commit
pre-commit installThis blackens the source code whenever git commit is used.
There is also a format session for nox. It can be run as follows:
nox -rs format
nox -rs format -- --check --diff clingoxThe latter command can be used to inspect changes before applying them.
Finally, test, commit and push the changes to your branch in the repository.
nox -r
git commit -am"<comment>"
git push
where <comment> should state the changes made. If comments are too long to state in one line, you can use git commit and write them in the editor.
Create a pull request in github.
