Abstract

Many thanks to my first supervisor, Prof. Qiang Shen, for his invaluable supervision and stimulating encouragement throughout this project. Without him, this PhD and thesis would never have happened. Thanks must also go to Dr. Changjing Shang, my second supervisor, for her patient guidance during the research. In addition, many thanks go to all fellow researchers in the Advanced Reasoning Group, especially Dr. Neil Mac Parthaláin for his warm-hearted discussion and helpful advice, and my good friends (e.g., Jing Yang and Pu Zhang) for their encouragement and support.Finally, my sincere gratitude to my beloved parents and Hang for their love and the unwavering support through all the past four years.
