Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We present a new method which combines an automated theorem prover MGTP with a genetic algorithm as a proof-search mechanism. MGTP is a theorem prover for first-order logic based on the model-generation method. The model-generation method and genetic algorithms have a similarity in that both are based on the generate-and-test paradigm. This affinity made us consider that it should make sense to combine both. We made an experiment on condensed detachment problems which have small descriptions yet require deep inference in enormous search spaces. Though our current gene-coding and fitness-evaluation scheme is rather naive, the results show that in many cases GA-MGTP is able to find shorter proofs than the original MGTP.
