Abstract :
In the last decade, abduction has been a very active research area. This has resulted in a variety of models mechanizing abduction, namely within a probabilistic or logical framework. Recently, a few abductive models have been proposed within a neural framework. Unfortunately, these neural/probablistic/logical-based models cannot address complex abduction problems. In this paper, we propose a new extended neural-based model to deal with abduction problems which could be monotonic, open, and incompatible
