Victor Jauregui

I recently completed my PhD in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). My research employs the principles of Mathematical Logic to tackle problems in AI; in particular, to develop formal accounts of nonmonotonic reasoning. My thesis is entitled Modalities, Conditionals and Nonmonotonic Reasoning and it uses modal (conditional) logic to study nonmonotonic inference.

For a sample of my work see the following paper which appeared at the 23rd Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Conference: Nonmonotonic modes of inference (.pdf)
