Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut fuer Artificial Intelligence (OeFAI) Schottengasse 3, A-1010 Wien Tel.+43-1-53532810,5336112 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- VORTRAG ******* Prof.Dr.Joerg SIEKMANN Deutsches Forschungszentrum fuer Kuenstliche Intelligenz GmbH Saarbruecken New Directions in Automated Deduction ------------------------------------- An automated theorem prover of the classical kind searches through a (very large) space of possible inference steps: its strength is derived from intricate representation techniques and strategies that guide the search. Currently the field witnesses a paradigm change: the search for a proof is no longer an (exhaustive) search at the object level of representa- tion, but the result of a multi-level planning process that simulates the planned approach based on specialized proof techniques of a human mathematician.
