Domain-Specific Reasoning Task

A Domain-Specific Reasoning Task is a domain-specific analysis task that is a reasoning task (a domain-specific task to produce a domain-specific argument).

• Context:
  • input: Domain-Specific Knowledge.
  • output: Domain-Specific Reasoned Argument (resoned argument).
  • It can (often) require the identification of relevant Domain-Specific Principles, Domain-Specific Rules, and Domain-Specific Facts.
  • It can (often) involve the use of Domain-Specific Reasoning Methods.
  • It can range from being a Deductive Domain-Specific Reasoning Task, to being an Inductive Domain-Specific Reasoning Task, to being an Abductive Domain-Specific Reasoning Task, depending on the domain-specific reasoning pattern constraint.
  • It can range from being an Exact Domain-Specific Reasoning Task to being an Approximate Domain-Specific Reasoning Task, based on domain-specific precision requirements.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific Reasoning With Certainty to being a Domain-Specific Reasoning Under Uncertainty.
  • It can range from being a Constraint-based Domain-Specific Reasoning Task to being a Heuristic-based Domain-Specific Reasoning Task.
  • It can range from being a Practical Domain-Specific Reasoning Task to being a Theoretical Domain-Specific Reasoning Task.
  • It can range from being an Analytical Domain-Specific Reasoning Task to being a Creative Domain-Specific Reasoning Task.
  • It can be a Domain-Specific Inference Task ...
  • It can be instantiated in a Domain-Specific Reasoning Act.
  • It can be supported by a Domain-Specific Reasoning System (that implement domain-specific reasoning algorithms).
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • a Legal Reasoning Task that involves applying legal principles and legal precedents to arrive at a legal judgment.
  • a Medical Reasoning Task that involves diagnosing a patient's condition based on medical tests and patient history.
  • an Economic Reasoning Task that involves analyzing economic indicators to forecast market trends.
  • a Scientific Reasoning Task that involves developing hypotheses and conducting experiments to validate scientific theories.
  • a Software Engineering Reasoning Task that involves debugging code by identifying and resolving software errors.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • General Reasoning Tasks, which does not require specialized domain knowledge.
  • Simple Deductive Reasoning.

  • Reason is the capacity of applying logic consciously by drawing conclusions from new or existing information, with the aim of seeking the truth. It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy, science, language, mathematics, and art, and is normally considered to be a distinguishing ability possessed by humans. Reasoning, like habit or intuition, is one of the ways by which thinking moves from one idea to a related idea. For example, reasoning is the means by which rational individuals understand sensory information from their environments, or conceptualize abstract dichotomies such as cause and effect, truth and falsehood, or ideas regarding notions of good or evil. Reasoning, as a part of executive decision making, is also closely identified with the ability to self-consciously change, in terms of goals, beliefs, attitudes, traditions, and institutions, and therefore with the capacity for freedom and self-determination.
