One approach to this problem is to formalize commonsense reasoning using mathematical logic. Commonsense Reasoning is a detailed, high-level reference on logic-based commonsense reasoning. It uses the event calculus, a highly powerful and usable tool for commonsense reasoning, which Erik T. Mueller demonstrates as the most effective tool for the broadest range of applications. He provides an up-to-date work promoting the use of the event calculus for commonsense reasoning, and bringingCommonsense reasoningAutomationArtificial intelligenceMathematicsLogic, Symbolic and mathematicalData processingCommonsense reasoningAutomation.Artificial intelligenceMathematics.Logic, Symbolic and mathematicalData processing.153.4/3Mueller Erik T1635288MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822304903321Commonsense reasoning3975979UNINA
