Embracing Background Knowledge in the Analysis of Actual Causality: An Answer Set Programming Approach

Abstract

This paper presents a rich knowledge representation language aimed at formalizing causal knowledge. This language is used for accurately and directly formalizing common benchmark examples from the literature of actual causality. A definition of cause is presented and used to analyze the actual causes of changes with respect to sequences of actions representing those examples.
