Machine reasoning technology provides human-like reasoning functions to computer applications for human logic processing. Human logic is an innate, pre-structured system, which plays a fundamental role in human intelligence. One of the greatest challenges for the computer industry is to simulate human logic. The current approach utilizing mathematical logic is not able to deliver human-like reasoning. In order to furnish human-like reasoning to the computer, we need to understand the mechanism underlying human logic.

Based on the newest findings of cognitive science, Abstract Productions has discovered the mechanism underlying human logic. Human logic is not a rule-based system rather it is a structural system, which unifies the functions of human intelligence. Employing this unified structure, Abstract Productions is able to provide a full range of human reasoning capabilities, including deduction, induction, and reduction.

Human logic is a general system instead of an expert system. That is, it can be applied universally. The application of human reasoning systems is very broad. It ranges from financial market forecasting to medical diagnosis. Successful diagnosis of disease is essential, but hard to automate. The realization of machine diagnosis will enhance medical practitioners’ potential. The barrier to automate medical diagnosis lies in the lack of a systematic structure. This structure must be able to handle all of the medical knowledge and sort through this knowledge with a unified mechanism to reach the logical conclusion. Abstract Productions offers such a human reasoning technology.
