This problem concerns a two-stage process of generation and evaluation of abductive hypotheses. While generation of the abductive hypotheses is achieved here by the implementation of the rules provided with a logical apparatus, their evaluation is performed using traditional measures and optimization techniques such as Pareto optimality and fitness{\textendash}distance analysis. By combining tools known in proof theory and in Artificial Intelligence, we explore the intriguing problem of interpretative reasoning.}, author = {Maciej Komosinski and Adam Kups and Mariusz Urbanski} }
