Learning Syllogistic by Training Computers
Main Article Content
Abstract
Inspired by the mechanisms and results of the learning by teaching method (LdL, German abreviation for Lernen durch Lehren), in this paper we advance a didactic model to learn logic by teaching logic. In particular, we propose a model to learn syllogistic by training an artificial neural network. At the end we show a qualitative report of two teaching experiences using
the proposed model.
