Abstract
This paper firstly presents knowledge representations of generalized syllogisms, and then uses relevant facts and reasoning rules to conduct knowledge reasoning on the basis of the generalized syllogism MMI-3 with the quantifier ‘most’. The main conclusion is that there are at least the other 25 valid generalized syllogisms that can be deduced from the validity of this syllogism. The paper achieves the initial goal of knowledge mining for this generalized syllogism logical fragment.
